Many people would like to approach their problems with a cosmetic procedure such as HIFU (Hyf). This article explains why HIFU, which is attracting attention as a lifting treatment that does not require an incision, is recommended for the problem of a double chin under the chin. Why not learn how HIF works, what the downtime is, and what measures are best suited for you to achieve a clear, refreshed facial line? Please read on.
Let's start with the basics! How does the hyphae approach the double chin under the chin?
Here is an explanation of how HIF works on the double chin under the chin.
■Basic Knowledge of Hypersound: What is High-Density Focused Ultrasound?
HIF is an acronym for "High Intensity Focused Ultrasound" and is called high-density focused ultrasound in Japanese. This technology is like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on a single point,Utilizes the principle of pinpointing and focusing ultrasonic energy to a specific depth inside the skin to generate heatI am doing this.
The advantage is that heat is delivered efficiently only to the targeted layer without causing significant damage to the skin surface.
Sagging of the face is said to be caused by loosening of the SMAS fascia. HIF is a treatment that can be expected to have a tightening effect by intensively applying heat to the SMAS fascia, which supports the skin's foundation, and the fat layer.
■Mechanism to approach both fat and looseness under the chin
HIF works on both fat accumulation and loose skin, which are the main causes of double chin under the chin. The heat from the ultrasound energy approaches the fat cells and reduces the volume under the chin.
At the same time, heat is applied to the SMAS fascia, which is the foundation that supports the skin, to contract loose areas and tighten them.
The strength of the HIF procedure is that it can simultaneously approach the fat under the chin and the loose skin and muscles.
The process by which heat-stimulated tissues are repaired,Collagen and elastin production is also expected to be stimulated as a side effectIt can be done and leads to a gradually firming line over several months after the treatment.
Which type of double chin do you have? Main Causes Explained
Here are the main causes of double chin and how to check which type you are. Let's check each type and its main causes.
■Puffiness due to fat accumulation
One common cause of a double chin is the accumulation of subcutaneous fat under the chin. As weight gain occurs as a result of continued disordered eating and lifestyle habits, such as overeating, drinking, and lack of exercise, fat is more likely to accumulate under the chin. The jaw and face area is more susceptible than other parts of the body toTendency to accumulate subcutaneous fatIt is said.
To confirm whether your double chin is fatty type, the following self-check is useful.
- Pinch under the chin and it is firm and thick.
- Double chin becomes more noticeable with weight gain or loss.
- Jawline is buried and difficult to see
If any of these items apply to you, fat accumulation is likely the primary cause of your double chin.
■Loosening of skin and muscles due to aging

In addition, muscles such as the facial expression muscles and the broad neck muscles in the front of the neckMuscle wasting is another major cause of double chinIt is.
Self-check to see if your double chin is due to loose skin or muscles.

- Skin under the chin is not firm and feels soft and stretchy when pinched
If any of these characteristics apply, the main cause is likely to be loosening of the skin or muscles.
