Double Chin Myths: Why Exercise Alone Might Not Be Enough

You’ve hit the gym, counted calories, and even lost weight, yet that double chin sticks around like it didn’t get the memo. It’s frustrating, and you might be wondering if a few more laps or a cleaner diet will finally do the trick.

Here’s the reality: Not all fat responds to exercise the same way. Fat under the chin (submental fat) is especially resistant.

This blog will dispel common myths about double chins and explain why targeted fat reduction may be a more effective option. At Skin Deep Laser MD, Dr. Laura Riehm offers safe, physician-led body sculpting treatments, including WarmSculpting®, to help patients see better results and achieve their dream physiques. 

Top 3 Double Chin Myths

If you want to say goodbye to your double chin, you first need to separate fact from fiction. Here are some of the most common myths perpetuated about stubborn submental fat.

Myth #1: You Can Spot-Reduce Fat With Neck Exercises

Unfortunately, you can’t “tone” a double chin away. Spot reduction is a myth. Targeting fat loss in one specific area isn’t possible through exercise alone.

Myth #2: Only Overweight People Get Double Chins

Plenty of slim individuals struggle with submental fullness. The issue often has more to do with bone structure, posture, and heredity than weight alone.

Myth #3: Surgery Is the Only Solution

You don’t have to go under the knife to see results. Therapies like WarmSculpting use laser energy to decrease fat beneath the chin with no downtime.

What Makes WarmSculpting Different?

WarmSculpting with SculpSure® uses controlled heat to damage fat cells under the skin. Your body then naturally eliminates these cells. This service is:

  • Non-surgical
  • Comfortable
  • Fast (25-minute sessions)
  • FDA-cleared for submental fat

At Skin Deep Laser MD, all treatments are overseen by Dr. Riehm, a board-certified physician who is passionate about delivering safe and effective care. Her experience in both anesthesiology and medical aesthetics ensures a level of clinical oversight you won’t find in your average med spa.
