The Most Effective Non-Surgical Solutions for Neck and Chin Sagging: BTL Exion and Beyond

Defy Gravity: Non-Surgical Touches for a Sharp Jawline and a Youthful Neck.

Surgery isn't the only solution for the neck and chin area, which succumb to gravity and time! At AuraDent, we've compiled the most effective, painless methods with a fast recovery process in this article, addressing everything from sagging chin to stubborn fat. Let's explore together what you can do for a sharp jawline and a rejuvenated neck.

The effects of time, gravity, and the common problem of "tech-neck" can cause our jawline to lose its sharpness and lead to unwanted sagging in the chin area. While surgery was once the only solution for these problems, revolutionary advancements in medical aesthetic technology now make it possible to achieve your dream profile with non-surgical, painless methods that don't disrupt your social life. At AuraDent in Nicosia, we offer you your best version with our world-class technologies.

In this article, we will examine in detail the most effective methods for neck and chin tightening, especially the proven Monopolar Radiofrequency technologies and our clinic's favorite , the BTL Exion system.

1. Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) Technology: Deep Rejuvenation Through the Power of Heat

Radiofrequency (RF) technologies, considered the "gold standard" in non-surgical skin tightening procedures, stimulate collagen production by delivering controlled thermal energy beneath the skin. However, not all RF devices are created equal. This is where Monopolar RF technology stands out.

Why is monopolar RF more effective than bipolar RF?

Many classic "RF Microneedling" devices use bipolar (dual-polar) technology. In this system, energy flows only between the two needles, and the heat remains in a more superficial, limited area. However, in monopolar RF technology, energy spreads from the needle tip to much deeper layers of the skin and over a wider (volumetric) area.

Thanks to this even heat distribution :

Tightening is achieved in the deepest layers of the skin (down to the SMAS layer).
Heat remains in the tissue for a longer period, stimulating collagen and elastin fibers more strongly.
It tightens not only the skin but also the subcutaneous connective tissue, creating a "lifting" effect.

2. BTL Exion: The Apple of AuraDent's Eye

Our most frequently used technology in our clinic, and one that achieves nearly 100% patient satisfaction, is BTL Exion , the most advanced form of monopolar radiofrequency. Exion optimizes energy delivery to each individual using its AI-powered technology.

Exion Fractional RF (Gold Needle, FRF)

Exion's fractional head delivers monopolar RF energy deep into the skin via micro-needles. It targets deep tissue in a single pass while leaving minimal damage to the surface. This allows for:

The loss of elasticity in the chin area is corrected.
The neckline opens up.
Skin texture becomes smoother.

Exion Face: Needle-Free Natural Fullness

Exion Face, a fantastic option for those afraid of needles, increases the skin's own hyaluronic acid production by 224% with its patented technology. This means the skin is hydrated, plumped, and the chin area appears firmer.

3. Chin Lipolysis: Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat

If there is not only sagging skin but also fat accumulation in that area (double chin), it may be necessary to supplement energy-based devices. This is where Enzymatic Double Chin Lipolysis comes into play.

When and Why is it Necessary?

If you have a pad of fat under your chin that you can feel with your fingers, simply tightening the skin may not be enough. Lipolysis breaks down the membranes of fat cells in that area, allowing them to be eliminated from the body. Typically, 2-3 sessions reduce the volume of a double chin. Then, a final touch is applied with a firming treatment like BTL Exion, completely eliminating the "jelly" consistency and looseness.

4. Collagen and Biostimulant Injections

Replacing the skin's building blocks increases the longevity of the treatment. Biostimulants, also known as smart fillers or liquid threads , dissolve over time when injected under the skin, making way for the body's own fresh collagen.

These injections, especially when combined with Exion treatments, yield excellent results in eliminating the thin, crepe-paper-like appearance of skin, particularly in the neck area. AuraDent's expert physicians will select the most suitable product, containing either calcium hydroxyapatite or polycaprolactone, according to your skin's needs.

Conclusion: Which Method is Right for You?

Each patient has different anatomy, signs of aging, and expectations. While BTL Exion alone works wonders for some patients, others may require a combination of Lipolysis and Exion . The most appropriate treatment protocol is determined after a detailed facial analysis and consultation at our AuraDent clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Are the results of non-surgical chin reduction permanent?

Non-surgical chin reduction treatments are much more comfortable than surgical methods, but the permanence of the results varies depending on the person's age, skin type, and lifestyle. Generally, results obtained with advanced technologies such as BTL Exion maintain their effect for 1-1.5 years. It is possible to extend this period with the booster sessions we offer at our clinic.

2What is the difference between monopolar RF and bipolar RF?

Monopolar RF creates a more powerful heating effect by distributing energy from a single point to the deep layers of the skin and over a wide (volumetric) area. Bi-polar systems, on the other hand, limit the energy to just two needles. Our experience at AuraDent shows that Monopolar technology (such as BTL Exion) provides far superior results in deep tissue tightening and chin reduction.

3Will sagging occur after chin reduction surgery?

The enzymes used in lipolysis (double chin reduction) break down fat cells. However, after the fat is reduced, the skin can become hollow and sag. Therefore, our experts usually combine lipolysis with BTL Exion or radiofrequency treatments, which tighten the skin, to achieve both a fat-free and firm appearance.

4Will I feel a lot of pain during the procedure?

These procedures are generally minimally painful. Our BTL Exion and other modern devices feature advanced cooling systems and technologies that enhance comfort. Thanks to the local anesthetic creams we apply before the procedure, our patients experience the process quite comfortably, with only a mild tingling or warmth sensation.

5How many treatment sessions are required?

The number of sessions varies depending on the degree of fat and sagging in the chin area. A course of 3-4 sessions is generally recommended. There can be an average of 2-4 weeks between each session. During your free initial consultation at our AuraDent clinic, a personalized treatment plan and number of sessions will be determined for you.

6Is it possible for everyone to get a non-surgical chin reduction treatment?

Yes, technologies like Exion Face, in particular, improve skin quality by stimulating hyaluronic acid production. However, in cases of very advanced fat accumulation or severe excess skin (turkey neck appearance), surgical options or combined treatments (lipolysis + thread lift + device) may be more suitable.

7What is the difference between BTL Exion and a classic RF Microneedling?

BTL Exion is one of the most advanced 'RF Microneedling' technologies on the market. Thanks to its AI support and monopolar structure, it delivers energy deeper and more controllably. Compared to classic gold needle applications, it provides more effective and comfortable tightening with fewer sessions. In our clinic, we clearly observe this difference in our patients' satisfaction rates.

8Is it safe to get a double chin reduction surgery in the summer?

Yes, BTL Exion and similar RF systems can be safely applied to all skin types and in all seasons. Unlike lasers, since it does not target melanin pigment, there is no harm in having it done in the summer months, provided sunscreen is used.

9What are the side effects after the procedure?

Mild swelling, redness, or minor bruising may occur after chin lipolysis; these will subside within a few days. A slight pinkish tint may occur after radiofrequency and gold needle treatments, but this will not affect your social life, and you can apply makeup the next day.

10Will my skin get worse after the effects of the collagen injection wear off?

No, quite the opposite! Collagen and biostimulant injections renew the building blocks of the skin. Even after the effects of the treatment wear off, your skin will remain healthier and firmer than before the treatment. The FDA-approved products we use at AuraDent allow you to make a long-term investment in your skin.

11When will I start seeing results?

The effects of the treatment are usually felt from the first session, but the truly impressive results are seen from the 3rd month onwards, when collagen production peaks. As the skin's regeneration process continues, the improvement continues to increase until the 6th month.

12What are the prices for non-surgical chin reduction treatments?

Prices vary depending on the method used (BTL Exion, Lipolysis, Youth Vaccine, etc.), the number of sessions, and combination treatments.
