One of the most discouraging signs in aging can be found around your neck. With age, it's common for a slower metabolism to cause weight gain. When this extra fat appears around your face, it often shows up near the neck area. This neck fat will affect your appearance in undesirable ways, sometimes resulting in the dreaded double chin.
The good news is that you have plenty of options to get rid of neck fat easily. Some techniques may involve the skin rejuvenation treatments available at Beauty Med. Other remedies revolve around a healthier lifestyle, such as adjusting your exercise routine and daily diet. With the right strategies, you will reduce the neck fat as well as any extra weight gain around the face.
Here are the six best ways to lose neck fat quickly:
1. Lose neck fat with SculpSure
SculpSure is a heat-based therapy, designed to destroy the fat cells in stubborn areas. This treatment can be used on multiple parts of your body, including effective rates of success in double chin and neck fat removal. Using FDA-approved laser therapy, SculpSure is highly targeted with minimal side effects or downtime after treatment. You can return to your daily routine after each quick session, while experiencing noticeable results in a slimmer, leaner neck.
2. Get rid of neck fat with mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a technique used to deliver medical formulas to specific parts of the body. It consists of a series of shallow injections, which contain enzymes to mobilize the fat from your body cells. Once the fat is released to the cellular level, it is flushed from your body through the natural waste removal process.
When applied to the neck area, mesotherapy can work as a highly effective neck fat removal technique. Keep in mind that you may experience temporary tenderness or swelling after treatment. The recovery process is reasonably short, although you are advised to avoid extensive sunlight or strenuous exercise for the next few days.
3. Lose neck fat with facial therapy
Facials and face masks are effective skin rejuvenation methods. While you are unlikely to get rid of neck fat with just facial therapy, they can be used with a weight loss program for powerful results. The idea behind facials and face masks is that they boost the appearance of the skin around your neck. These gentle facial treatments remove the dead or damaged skin cells for more youthful looking skin.
Cosmetic face masks can be applied at home on a regular basis. Consider using glycerin masks with antioxidants such as green tea. Other popular face masks with fat reduction benefits include lemon, honey, and egg white ingredients.
4. Get rid of neck fat with diets & exercises
Naturally, one of the best ways to lose neck fat is through a regular diet and exercise routine. Excess weight is one of the common double chin causes, but you can shed those pounds with healthy lifestyle habits. Start by cutting back on sugar, sodium, and processed foods, which are notoriously bad for weight gain. As you maintain a nutritious diet, this will help with the fat reduction in your body, face, and neck area.
In addition, plenty of research has shown that exercising can help to tone your neck muscles. While stronger muscles won't reduce the amount of fat around your neck, they will lift the area and make it appear less saggy. Look for easy neck exercises you can do at home, such as neck rotation, the side tilt, or squeezing a ball below your chin.
5. Use the best sunscreen for your neck
Part of what makes neck fat so obvious are the lines that mark the area. Deepened by poor posture, weight gain, and sun exposure, these lines can be stubborn to remove unless you take away the underlying factors. Thankfully, sunscreen is an inexpensive tool that can be used along with your weight loss and posture correction efforts.
Every time you head out for the day, apply at least a 20 SPF sunscreen to your face and neck. This simple gesture will help you to avoid neck lines from deepening, which will make your neck fat look less obvious. Plus, sunscreen comes with additional benefits, such as improving the skin texture on your body.
6. Pay attention to proper neck posture
Poor posture can weaken the muscles around your chin and neck. When the posture is continuously bad, this will compromise the neck's strength and elasticity over time. Many people experience bad posture after prolonged hours looking down at a phone or a laptop. As your neck muscles weaken, this may lead to the development of a double chin.
To fix the bad posture, always make a conscious effort to sit tall in your chair, without a bend in your neck. Beware of your phone use and how much you are looking down each day. If possible, try holding your phone up as you read to reduce this common posture problem.
