In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about specific treatments online. Such information may be misinterpreted as the promotion of prescription-only (Schedule 4) medications – this is not permitted under TGA guidelines.
For this reason, a consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.
Treatment costs will vary depending on your tailored plan and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.
At Youth Lab, we offer consultations for under-chin contouring, a non-surgical treatment that may assist in improving definition and reducing small, localised areas of fat, particularly beneath the chin.
The under-chin area (often referred to as submental fullness) can persist despite a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and exercise. This concern can affect overall facial proportion and profile balance. Fat-reduction treatments are designed to target these areas gradually, supporting a more refined and contoured appearance over time.
All treatments begin with a comprehensive consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. During this appointment, your practitioner will assess your individual anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine whether this approach is suitable for you.
Individuals can notice small areas of fat that do not respond easily to changes in diet or exercise. In some cases, this can affect profile balance or facial definition. Fat reduction treatments may be considered as part of a tailored plan to support these concerns.
Understanding the Under-Chin Area
The region beneath the chin is influenced by several structural and genetic factors:
- Fat Distribution: Some individuals naturally carry more fat in the submental area, which can persist despite weight stability.
- Bone Structure: A recessed chin or reduced jawline projection can accentuate fullness beneath the chin.
- Skin Elasticity: With age, skin and connective tissues loosen, leading to less definition in the lower face and neck.
Under-chin contouring aims to refine the transition between the chin, jawline and neck, improving light reflection and profile balance without surgery.
Alternative and Complementary Options
Youth Lab offers a range of non-surgical treatments that may complement or provide alternatives to fat-reduction procedures, depending on your individual needs:
- Collagen-stimulating or bio-remodelling treatments: May improve skin quality and firmness in the lower face and neck.
- Skin-tightening technologies: Energy-based treatments (radiofrequency or laser) that may support skin contraction and contour definition.
- Profile harmonisation: Consultation for jawline or chin enhancement which may improve overall facial balance.
- Lifestyle and skin-health programs: Professional skincare and guidance to optimise long-term tone and texture.
Your practitioner will explain which combination of treatments best aligns with your goals during your consultation.
