"Cool Mini" to get rid of double chins... Does it work? (photos)

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. Cool Mini will work in that area. There is also Kybella, but there is significantly more swelling involved with that treatment. It is best to consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of treatment. Good luck!

Hello and thank-you for your question
We offer the CoolMini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate.  For optimal results, 2 treatments are generally required. The treatments are separated by 4-6 weeks. Treatments are planned using templates of the CoolMini applicator. For fat localized to the sub mental chin, a single applicator per session may be required.  If there is significant fat more laterally in the neck, 2 or 3 overlapping applicators may be required to produce the optimal result.  We also offer Kybella and often use the two to develop customized a non-invasive alternative to surgical options.I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who offers all these options to discuss what is best for you.

Having a double chin is something you can thank your mother or father for, as it tends to be hereditary. For people who inherit a double chin, no amount of diet or exercise can remove it. That’s what makes non-surgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting® so popular, as it’s one of the most effective alternatives to liposuction. The FDA recently approved the CoolMini®, a specialized applicator designed specifically for double chins. Most people will need one or two CoolMini® treatments with final results appearing approximately 10 to 12 weeks after treatment. Be sure to work with a certified CoolSculpting® Technician to ensure you get the best outcome.

Dear Calicurves, Cool Sculpting to the submental area has been around since the later part of 2015 so one of the newest areas for cool sculpting. You could possibly benefit from a cool mini under the chin but if not enough to fill the cup per say, kybella would also be a nice option for you. I would seek a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon office in your area who offers both. At your age I feel like kybella or cool mini is totally worth trying before surgery! Best of Luck. 

It looks like you'd be an excellent candidate for CoolSculpting's CoolMini applicator, which was designed to treat the under-chin area via cryolipolysis. CoolMini provides up to 25-30% fat reduction in one session, and more than one session can be performed for more dramatic results. Kybella, which is an injectable treatment to melt chin fat, might also work. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist to find the best treatment for you.
