How long should I wait before deciding if I need a second cool mini in the same area?

Thank you for your question.For optimal results, 2 treatments are generally required. The treatments are separated by 4-6 weeks. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss what is best for you. Best regards, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

Hello pfowler888, After one round of Coolmini, you will start to notice results around week 4-6, with maximum results at 12-16 weeks. This all depends on how many cycles were completed at the first session. Unless there is a large amount of submental fat, re-treatment should be determined at your approximately 8 week post treatment visit. This amount of time allows for enough of a result to make an accurate assessment, and determine if additional cycles would be appropriate. Best of Luck! Dr. Thomas E. Kaniff

Thanks for the question! CoolSculpting results are fully achieved around 3 months post treatment. For many individuals, 2-3 treatments of the CoolMini are needed to obtain the desired results. If you feel this might be true for you, many people get an additional treatment before the 3 month window, speeding up the time to their ideal profile. There is no harm in either method. Waiting the full three months allows you to fully see the results of your treatment, but would delay the results a bit if an additional cycle is needed. Treating twice in a short window increases the number of fat cells being permanently destroyed, decreasing the amount of time to your desired result. An experienced CooScultping provider will be able to give you a good idea of your specific needs during a consultation.Regards,Dr. Mehta

Hi pfowler888. Generally speaking, the under chin area can be treated with an advanced protocol if there is excess fat extending towards the sides a little-when this is done, you should wait 3 months to see the effect of the overlapping applicators. If you had just one applicator placed in the center for limited chin fat, you may see some results by 4 weeks but these will continue to evolve over the next 2 months. A certified CS specialist will guide you further on the interval of treatment, number of applicator cycles and placement--your before & after photos will be helpful in deciding. Good luck!

After treatment with CoolSculpting, it can take up to 3 months for patients to see their results. The reason for this is that it takes this amount of time for the body to completely eliminate the crystallized fat cells from the body. It can be beneficial for patients to have a second treatment after 1-2 months. Consult your CoolSculpting provider to determine the best timing for your next treatment. Good luck and congratulations on your recent procedure!

Thank you for the question. You would start seeing results after getting a treatment with the Coolmini as early as 3 weeks, but the results keep improving until 3 months. Most patient would require 2-3 treatments with the Coolmini to get optimal results, and we recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks before getting the next treatment. If you are debating if you should get a second treatment, I would recommend waiting about 6-8 weeks to see if you are satisfied with the results and then if needed, plan for the next one.

Most people will need between 2-3 CoolMini treatments under the chin for optimal results. We space these out every 6 weeks. Combining the treatments with ThermiTight or Ultherapy can help further improve results. Make sure you are seeing an experienced provider. Best wishes.

It can take up to 3 months to have your final results with a Coolmini and it can take multiple treatments. Combining a Coolmini with treatments like Kybella, ultherapy, thermage, exilis will improve results. However, I find that VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF gives the best results in contouring the chin in those who are candidates. I recommend seeing an expert in facial contouring for a formal evaluation.

Hello, Thank you for your question. There are several factors that can go into your decision. The chin area can be treated as soon as 30 days after your procedure. However the first treatment can have results up to 3 months after. So if you have a smaller area of concern, you may want to wait the 3 months to see the full result. However if you have a larger area of concern it may be a good idea to get your second treatment after the first month, so that you can reach your ultimate goal quicker. It is best to consult with the physician that is treating you, so that you can get the most accurate answer. Good luck!

If you want to be sure you really need a second CoolMini session, you should wait about three months. That is when your final results will be visible. However, just remember that a single CoolSculpting session will only remove between 20% to 30% of fat in an area. If that amount would not be sufficient to give you the results you want, then you will need at least one or two more treatments. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist if you need help deciding whether to have another CoolMini treatment.
