- Kybella injections – a drug injected into the chin area to destroy fat cells. This can have some swelling for approximately 2 weeks. May need multiple sessions.
- CoolMini – an applicator from CoolSculpting to freeze fat cells. Gradual removal happens over several months.
- AgnesRF Microneedling: This tool allows precise delivery of radio frequency energy to destroy fat cells in located in the double chin area.

As an added benefit, other areas such as jowls and jawline can be treated to re-store definition and tighten skin.
