Double Chin Body Contouring London – Fat or Skin Laxity?
Updated 20 September 2026
A “double chin” can be caused mainly by localised submental fat, by skin laxity, by anatomy, or by a combination of factors. That distinction matters because reducing a small fat pocket and improving the appearance of skin firmness are different treatment goals.
Consultation booking: a £30 booking deposit secures an in-person consultation. The deposit is fully redeemable against treatment and is refundable if you attend and decide not to proceed. Please give at least 72 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. A no-show loses the £30 deposit and rebooking after a no-show requires a new £30 deposit. If you arrive late, the appointment may need to be shortened so later bookings are not delayed.
When the concern is localised chin fat
The clinic’s current Prices page specifically lists Chin (one applicator) fat freezing at £139. Cryolipolysis uses controlled cooling to target a localised fat bulge; it is not a weight-loss treatment and suitability varies.
See the main Fat Freezing London page
When the concern is skin laxity rather than fat
If the main concern is skin firmness rather than a pinchable fat pocket, a fat-reduction treatment may not address the real issue. The clinic also offers radio-frequency skin tightening. There is no separate RF price specifically for the chin on our current Prices page; the appropriate option is confirmed during consultation.
Current pricing and treatment areas: the clinic’s prices page lists the current prices, packages, named treatment areas and treatment durations. Only options currently shown there are included in this guide.
Why consultation matters under the chin
Assessment should consider how much of the concern is fat, how much is skin, the shape of the jaw/neck, previous procedures, medical history and realistic expectations. A very small or non-pinchable concern may not be suitable for a fat-freezing applicator.
Fat-freezing safety under the jawline
The FDA notes additional under-jaw/under-chin considerations for cryolipolysis, including a possible temporary change in lip or tongue position from nerve effects and a temporary sensation of fullness at the back of the throat. These complications are not common, but they are relevant to informed consent.

How this guide fits with our other double-chin information
This page is a broad double-chin body-contouring guide. The site also contains a more direct fat freezing vs RF skin tightening comparison page for double-chin intent. For a direct comparison of the two treatment approaches, use the dedicated fat freezing vs RF skin-tightening guide.
Double-chin treatment depends on whether the concern is fat, skin or both
An under-chin fullness can be caused by a small pocket of pinchable fat, skin laxity, anatomy or a combination of factors. That is why the same treatment is not suitable for every profile. chin fat freezing is designed for a suitable localised fat pocket, while RF skin tightening is aimed at skin firmness rather than fat reduction.
During consultation, the practitioner should assess the amount of pinchable tissue, the quality of the skin and the exact area that can be treated safely. A useful plan also explains what the treatment cannot change, because jaw structure and overall facial anatomy are different from subcutaneous fat or skin laxity.
How to compare progress
For a small area such as the chin, consistent side-profile and front photographs can be particularly useful. They should be taken with similar posture, lighting and camera distance. Results should be reviewed after the appropriate follow-up period for the treatment used rather than immediately after an appointment.
