CoolSculpting for Double Chin?

I really like CoolMini for the double chin.  It is easy, inexpensive, and did I say easy?  That being said - the downside is that you need a couple of treatments...  Whereas lipo only requires one treatment.But, if I had a double chin - which I do not yet have - although I am seeing some excess skin there... I would certainly consider a Cool Mini treatment.

Thank you your question. We offer the Cool mini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate. We also offer Kybella and often use the two to develop customized surgical alternative to surgical options. We are currently offering a package of 2 CoolSulpt Mini treatments for $2000.00.  The treatments are separated by 4-6 weeks.   If there is mild to moderate skin laxity, combining the treatment with Ultherapy is an option.   I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who offers all these options to discuss what is best for you.Best regards,Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

At this time Coolsculpting does not have an applicator to treat the chin area. Coolsculpting is now FDA-cleared for abdomen, flanks, back, thighs and arms. Hopefully in the near future the company will develop a small hand piece appropriate to effectively treat the chin area. In the meantime we offer patients cool lipo (laser liposuction) and regular liposuction as an alternative.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Yes! CoolSculpting can be used under the chin. The applicator is called CoolMini and it can address the problem of a double chin. The price can vary based on where you are but is usually around $700-$800 per cycle. You would need an in person consultation with a certified physician to determine how many you need. Good luck!

CoolSculpting has a new applicator called the CoolMini that can
eliminate double chins. CoolSculpting freezes away up to 20% to 30%
of fat at a time. Therefore, most patients may need two to three
sessions before they get the results they seek. Usually prices are
quoted after you have seen your doctor and they can inform you about
what treatment will be best for you and how much it will cost.

I realize that your question is an older one but I thought it would be nice to answer with an update as your question was originally posted 5 years ago. Zeltiq released their CoolMini Applicator towards the end of 2015 and the applicator has been doing phenomenally well. The American Society of Dermatology conducted a study about a year ago which showed incredible interest in dealing with the treatment of this area as things like snapchat usage have really put selfies on the forefront of consumers minds. There are currently 2 major minimally invasive options for treatment of the submental area both kybella and coolsculpting. Interstingly Allergan the company that owns Kybella was previously considering the acquistion of the coolsculpting technology prior to purchasing Kybella. My honest belief is that they made a mistake in purchasing Kybella over coolsculpting as the Kybella treatments are more expensive, take longer to show efficacy and are said to be quite uncomfortable with a significant amount of swelling and discomfort after each of 3-6 treatment sessions.

Zeltiq has announced the release of the CoolMini applicator.  We just received it in our office.  This applicator will enable us to treat the area under the chin, (the double chin).  Prices will vary in each city.  Best to contact your experienced CoolSculpting practice, and go in for a consult to see if you are an appropriate candidate.As always, proper diet and exercise will help produce good and lasting results.

Yes, Zeltiq is coming out with a new applicator to treat underneath the chin shortly.  I expect to have this applicator available for my patients sometime in November.  

We are anticipating the release of a new applicator that will in fact treat the chin/neck fatty pad. We are very excited to be able to offer our patients a non-surgical answer for this common area of concern. Keep in touch with your Coolsculpting provider to find out when they will be offering the new mini applicator for chin and neck. Thank you for this question.

 Thanks for your question. Coolsculpting is launching a smaller applicator that will be FDA approved to treat under the chin with truly amazing results. It should be available in the next couple of months. The price per treatment can vary between $750-$1200.
