“In a recent study, over 67% of US adults were bothered by their neck appearance and wished they could do something about it.”
SculpSure® is clearly taking over the world and becoming a true leader in body contouring. Being so good at helping people achieve their dream bodies without any surgery and downtime, SculpSure® decided to tackle upper body starting with under chin fat.
What causes under chin fat to develop?
Your Genes, Your lifestyle and aging. Out of all of these, you can only control lifestyle by dieting and exercising, which unfortunately is sometimes just not enough. For this reason, people are looking for the most effective treatments without any downtime to help them remove double chin fat.
Can exercise alone help loose fat under the chin?
Highly unlikely. There is no exercise that specifically targets the neck muscles and you can’t really run cardio exercises with your chinJ . Dieting and exercise affects your whole body and may result in desirable weight loss and body contouring, but it is still hard to target under chin area.

Absolutely yes. The applicator was specifically designed to target the selected fat area without affecting nearby nerves and/or blood vessels.
