CoolSculpting for Double Chin

At the moment, CoolSculpting is not an option for excess fat under the chin. Smaller handpieces are being developed that could possibly be used for smaller areas including the area under the chin. be advised that CoolSculpting does not improve (and could worsen) skin laxity. You may want to consult with a plastic surgeon who provides both liposuction and CoolSculpting to determine which procedure is best for you.

CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for the flanks (love handles) and abdomen and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment. Unfortunately, at this time it is not approved for use on the double chin.

Coolsculpting is not indicated for the neck or jowls

Coolscupting works great for the approved areas of the body like the abdomen and love handles. It is not work on the face. If you are looking for skin tightening on the face you might be interested in Thermage. see video

Coolsculpting isn't great for treating double chin

Coolsculpting is great for treating the love handles, abdomen, and back. Unfortunately, it cannot be used to treat a double chin. see video

CoolSculpting is not yet for the face or neck

When the manufacturer, Zeltiq, produces smaller and flexible applicators, then I would be excited to see how it could help reduce the fat underneath the chin. Usually we don't remove fat from a face as that keeps a face youthful and those that have fat removed often look skeletonized and older. Some patients with wide faces have thick chewing (masseter) muscles rather than fat, and these can be slimmed down with Botox injecitons. see video

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no handpiece that would be able to fit the face/ neck area. The company is working on other handpieces so they may come out in the future. Best Wishes! see video

Zeltiq

Currently the machine does not have handpieces that would fit the facial and neck anatomy. Therefore the treatment protocol with Zeltiq is limited to various body areas in my practice we have successfully treated upper and lower abdomen, love handles, extra fat pads on the back, fat around breasts, gynecomastia (or increased breast tissue in males) arms, inner thighs, outer thighs.

Cool sculpting on neck/chin area

Unfortunately, as of yet anyway, there are no Cool-Sculpting vacuum chambers small enough to address the double chin/neck area. As time and technology progresses there should be a much greater variety in the size of the areas we can treat. Stay tuned! Dr. Grant Stevens

Coolsculpting for double chin

The limiting factor currently for areas that would be subject to effective treatment by coolsculpting is the device size. Currently, the vacuum chambers are not set up to treat "double chins". I suspect over the next year, there will be newer chambers providing for other areas to be coolsculpted such as inner thighs.

Coolsculpting cannot be used for a double chin.....yet!

The suction cup sizes for the machine are too large to be used on the neck.   This will change in time as new sizes are developed.  Check back in a few months.  Thanks.  Dr. Groff
