A double chin — medically known as submental fullness — is one of the most common cosmetic concerns that people face, regardless of age or body type. While it can be influenced by weight, genetics, or the natural aging process, it often feels stubborn and resistant to diet and exercise. For many, the idea of surgery to address it feels intimidating, expensive, or simply unnecessary. That is where Sofwave steps in as a revolutionary, non-surgical solution.
At Skin 22 Concierge, we are proud to offer Sofwave technology as part of our comprehensive suite of advanced aesthetic treatments. Whether you are bothered by mild laxity under the jawline or a more pronounced double chin, Sofwave delivers visible, lasting results — without a single incision.

What Exactly Is a Double Chin?
Before diving into the solution, it helps to understand the problem. A double chin forms when a layer of fat accumulates beneath the chin, creating a fold or fullness that mimics the appearance of a second chin. But fat is not always the sole culprit. Loose or sagging skin — often caused by collagen loss as we age — can also give the under-chin area a heavy, undefined look.
The combination of submental fat and reduced skin elasticity is what makes double chins so notoriously difficult to treat through lifestyle changes alone. Even at a healthy weight, many people still struggle with this area — which is why targeted aesthetic treatments have become so popular.
What Is Sofwave and How Does It Work?
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening and lifting technology that uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology. Unlike older ultrasound-based treatments, Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy precisely into the mid-dermis — the skin layer at approximately 1.5mm depth — where collagen and elastin fibres live.
The ultrasound energy gently heats the targeted tissue to a therapeutic temperature of around 60–70°C. This controlled thermal effect triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen. Over the following weeks and months, this fresh collagen tightens the skin, lifts sagging tissue, and noticeably redefines the jawline and neck area.
Critically, Sofwave’s patented cooling technology protects the surface of the skin throughout the treatment, making it a safe and comfortable experience for most patients.
Why Choose Sofwave Over Surgery for a Double Chin?
Surgical options like liposuction or a neck lift can produce dramatic results, but they come with significant trade-offs: downtime, scarring, anaesthesia risks, and considerable cost. Sofwave offers a compelling alternative for those who want meaningful improvement without going under the knife. Here is why patients at Skin 22 Concierge love it:
- No Surgery, No Scalpel: Sofwave is entirely non-invasive. There are no cuts, no stitches, and no anaesthesia required. The treatment is delivered through a handheld device applied gently to the skin surface.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after the session. There may be mild redness or slight swelling, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours to a day.
- Safe for All Skin Types: Sofwave’s unique technology works safely across all skin tones and types, making it one of the most inclusive aesthetic treatments available.
- Quick Treatment Sessions: A typical Sofwave session for the under-chin area takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes — making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
- Natural-Looking Results: Because results develop gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms, the improvement looks entirely natural. There is no tell-tale sign of having had a procedure done.
What to Expect at Skin 22 Concierge
At Skin 22 Concierge, every Sofwave journey begins with a thorough, personalised consultation. Our expert practitioners assess your skin quality, the degree of submental fullness, and your overall aesthetic goals before recommending a treatment plan.
During the treatment itself, a cooling gel is applied to the chin and neck area. The Sofwave applicator is then moved over the skin, delivering ultrasound pulses in a precise, systematic pattern. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and comfortable, with brief moments of deeper warmth as the energy reaches the mid-dermis.
After the session, you can head straight back to your day. We provide detailed aftercare advice and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you are achieving the best possible outcome.
When Will You See Results?
Patience is part of the Sofwave process — and it is well rewarded. Because the treatment works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, results are progressive rather than immediate. Here is a general timeline:
- Weeks 1–4: Initial skin tightening begins as the body starts producing new collagen fibres.
- Weeks 6–8: Visible improvement in jawline definition and reduction in submental fullness becomes apparent.
- Weeks 10–12: Optimal results are typically visible, with firmer, lifted skin and a noticeably slimmer chin profile.
- Months 6–12: Results continue to last and can be maintained with periodic top-up sessions.
Clinical studies have shown that the majority of patients experience significant improvement after a single treatment. For more advanced concerns, our team at Skin 22 Concierge may recommend a tailored series of sessions.
Is Sofwave Right for You?
Sofwave is an excellent option for adults who are bothered by mild to moderate submental fullness and early to moderate skin laxity along the jawline and neck. It is particularly well-suited for those who:
- Want to address a double chin without surgery or significant downtime
- Have noticed their jawline becoming less defined with age
- Are at or near their ideal body weight but still struggle with under-chin fullness
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements
- Are looking for a safe, clinically proven, FDA-cleared treatment
Sofwave is not typically recommended for individuals with very significant fat deposits, severely loose skin, or certain medical conditions. During your consultation at Skin 22 Concierge, our specialists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether Sofwave — or a combination approach — is the ideal path for your goals.
