Cause-specific assessment
The clinic distinguishes loose skin from localised fullness and structural under-chin concerns.
LOUAVE Ultherapy PRIME
Ultherapy double chin lifting, planned for under-chin laxity.
Explore consultation-led Ultherapy under-chin lifting in Seoul at LOUAVE Dermatology Clinic. Treatment planning considers skin laxity, localised fullness, chin projection, neck structure and the tissue layers seen through ultrasound imaging.
The phrase “double chin” can describe loose skin, localised fat, chin structure or a combination of factors. Ultherapy is primarily a lifting treatment and should not be presented as guaranteed under-chin fat removal.

Treatment Overview

Focused ultrasound for selected under-chin laxity.
Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound energy as part of a non-surgical lifting approach. Official treatment areas include selected skin below the chin, but the clinic must first identify whether laxity is the primary concern.
LOUAVE presents Ultherapy PRIME as its current platform. Real-time imaging helps the practitioner review tissue layers and personalise treatment depth, direction and coverage.
Imaging-guided placement
Ultrasound visualisation supports treatment planning according to the tissue layers seen during assessment.
Progressive skin response
Firmness and lifting changes generally develop gradually rather than as immediate fat reduction.
Why the Cause Matters
Not every double chin is the same concern.
Similar-looking under-chin concerns may require different technologies. Assessment helps determine whether lifting, contouring or another approach should be considered.
Loose Under-Chin Skin
Ultherapy may be discussed when mild or moderate skin laxity reduces definition beneath the chin.
Localised Fat
Fullness caused mainly by fat may require a contouring treatment rather than focused ultrasound lifting alone.
Reduced Chin Projection
Chin shape and projection may influence the neck profile even when the amount of under-chin tissue is limited.
Jawline Laxity
Lower-face skin descent may visually merge the jawline with the under-chin area and affect definition.
Neck Anatomy
Natural neck structure, muscle position and tissue distribution influence which approach may be suitable.
Combined Factors
Some patients have both laxity and fullness, requiring staged or combined consultation-led treatment planning.
Under-Chin Assessment
Meet the LOUAVE Doctors →
Treatment begins by identifying what creates the profile.
The under-chin area is reviewed from the front and side. Skin laxity, tissue thickness, chin projection, jawline continuity, neck structure and previous procedures all influence treatment selection.
Skin Pinch & Laxity
The degree and location of loose skin are reviewed before ultrasound treatment is considered.
Ultherapy relevanceTissue Fullness
The clinic assesses whether visible fullness is likely to involve fat, lax skin or both.
Cause must be identifiedChin Projection
Chin shape and projection affect the side profile and may influence the perceived under-chin contour.
Profile assessmentJawline Connection
The under-chin area may be planned together with selected jawline zones for visual continuity.
Proportion-led planningNeck Structure
Neck length, tissue position and muscle-related concerns may affect treatment suitability.
Anatomy mattersPrevious Procedures
Previous fillers, threads, surgery or energy treatments should be disclosed before finalising the plan.
Medical history required Ultherapy Treatment Process
From under-chin assessment to calming care.
The sequence below reflects a general consultation-led Ultherapy process. Exact treatment time, preparation and coverage vary according to the individual plan.
Consultation
The clinic reviews laxity, fullness, profile structure, previous treatments and the patient’s priorities.
Cleansing & Numbing
The treatment area is cleansed and topical numbing cream may be applied to support treatment comfort.
Gel & Mapping
Ultrasound gel is applied and suitable under-chin, jawline or upper-neck zones are mapped.
Imaging-Guided Treatment
Tissue layers are visualised while ultrasound energy is delivered to individually selected treatment areas.
Review & Calming Care
The treated area is reviewed and suitable calming or recovery-focused care may be provided.
Recovery & Result Timeline
Under-chin lifting changes develop over time.
Result timing, temporary sensitivity and visible definition vary between individuals. This timeline provides general guidance rather than a guaranteed result schedule.
Treatment Day
Temporary warmth, redness, swelling, tenderness or tingling may occur beneath the chin.
Early Recovery
Many patients resume usual activities relatively quickly, although tenderness may continue for some individuals.
From One Month
Gradual firmness or lifting changes may become more noticeable from around one month onward.
Continued Development
Collagen-related changes may continue developing over the following months according to individual response.
Planning treatment around travel and photography
Head angle and temporary swelling can affect the visible under-chin profile. Share important photography, event and departure dates with the clinic before scheduling treatment.
Treatment Suitability
Appropriate for selected under-chin laxity concerns.
Treatment suitability cannot be confirmed from a photograph alone. The clinic must assess the cause of fullness and the degree of skin laxity in person.
Ultherapy may be discussed when you:
- Have mild or moderate loose skin beneath the chin.
- Want to discuss a non-surgical lifting approach.
- Are concerned about reduced chin-to-neck definition.
- Prefer gradual rather than surgical-style change.
- Understand that Ultherapy is not substantial fat removal.
Additional review may be needed when you:
- Have fullness caused mainly by localised fat.
- Have active irritation, infection or open skin.
- Recently received fillers, threads or energy treatment.
- Have implants, prior surgery or relevant medical conditions.
- Expect major volume reduction or surgical-level correction.
Under-Chin Treatment Comparison
Laxity and fullness may require different technologies.
Ultherapy focuses on selected lifting concerns. ONDA and other approaches may be discussed when localised fullness or a different treatment priority is identified.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before under-chin Ultherapy.
These answers provide general information. Treatment details should be confirmed by LOUAVE following assessment.
What is Ultherapy double chin lifting?
It is a consultation-led use of focused ultrasound for
selected loose-skin concerns beneath the chin. Treatment
planning is based on tissue assessment, anatomy and
ultrasound imaging.
Does Ultherapy remove double-chin fat?
Ultherapy is primarily a lifting treatment and should
not be presented as substantial fat removal. When
localised fat is the main concern, ONDA or another
contouring option may be discussed.
How does the clinic identify the cause?
The clinic reviews skin laxity, tissue thickness,
profile structure, chin projection, jawline continuity,
neck anatomy and previous procedures before selecting
a treatment approach.
Can the jawline be treated at the same appointment?
Selected jawline or upper-neck areas may be discussed
as part of the same treatment map when clinically
appropriate. Final coverage depends on consultation.
Is numbing cream used?
Topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment.
Sensations may include warmth, tingling or brief
discomfort. Individual comfort varies.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the selected area and coverage.
Consultation, cleansing, numbing, imaging and calming care
should also be included when planning the total visit time.
When may changes become visible?
Ultherapy changes generally develop gradually. Some
patients may begin noticing changes from around one
month, with further collagen-related development over
the following months.
Is there downtime?
Many patients return to normal daily activity relatively
quickly. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, pain,
tingling or altered sensation may occur.
Can Ultherapy replace liposuction or surgery?
No. Ultherapy cannot reproduce the fat removal or tissue
repositioning achieved through surgical procedures.
Patients requiring greater correction should discuss
alternative options.
Can international patients book before arriving?
International patients can contact LOUAVE before travelling
and share their concerns, previous treatments and preferred
dates. Final suitability is confirmed after consultation.

Important under-chin Ultherapy information
This page provides general educational information and does not replace an individual medical consultation. Treatment suitability, approved treatment zones, imaging findings, treatment depth, number of treatment lines, energy settings, discomfort, possible side effects, recovery, result timing and duration vary between individuals. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, pain, tingling, sensitivity or transient nerve-related effects may occur. Patients should disclose medical conditions, implanted devices, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, medications, previous surgery and prior fillers, threads or energy-based treatments. Ultherapy is primarily a skin-lifting procedure; it does not guarantee substantial under-chin fat reduction and cannot reproduce liposuction or surgical lifting results. Final treatment planning must follow individual assessment.
