[Doctor's Column] 'V-Shrink,' dedicated to double chins, is back
"I had V-Shrink done before, but why don't I see it these days?"
I often receive questions like this during double chin consultations. V-Shrink is originally the name for a procedure specifically designed for double chins using a 6.0mm cartridge, and it is a name that many people have sought out for a long time. As the equipment was upgraded to 'Shrink Universe,' the 6.0mm cartridge was temporarily unavailable while undergoing the official domestic approval process again, but it has recently returned officially after completing approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Today, I will examine why and how V-Shrink is used for double chins.
You need to distinguish first whether a double chin is fat or sagging.
During double chin consultations, I frequently receive the question, "Do I need liposuction?" However, while a double chin can sometimes be caused simply by an excess of fat, Cases where volume appears to be concentrated downwards due to sagging skin and tissue itself There are also quite a lot of such cases. If you approach these two without distinguishing between them, it can lead to a result where only the fat is reduced while the sagging remains.
Why V-Shrink (6.0mm) is used for double chin
V-Shrink is a procedure that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver thermal stimulation to specific depths within the skin, contracting tissues and inducing collagen production. The double chin area, in particular... Designed for a depth of 6.0mm (fat layer) and 4.5mm (jawline) together That is the key. This is because if you only treat the fat layer, volume decreases but sagging remains, whereas if you only define the jawline, the volume remains intact.
Answer to "Does it really work?"
According to a 3D image analysis (Vectra) study, the double chin area after the procedure Volume reduction and lifting are confirmed together. It was done, and on average, about one treatment is required. 7.7% reduction in double chin volume ...was observed. Of course, this figure is an average study result, and the actual degree of improvement varies depending on an individual's fat mass and skin elasticity.
I especially recommend this to the following people.
- Those who have seen results with V-Shrink in the past
- People who start by worrying about their jaw angle when taking photos
- People who haven't gained weight but whose double chin stands out particularly prominent
- For those who find liposuction burdensome but desire natural improvement
👉 An expert's closing line
The results for a double chin depend not on "how much was injected," but on **"whether the fat layer and the jawline were designed to address both depths together." As the familiar name V-Shrink returns, we hope you experience the same effectiveness as before.
