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.

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.

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

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. 

Thank you for your question.If you are looking soley for a non-surgical solution, I
am finding that the combination of Kybella or Coolsculpting Mini to reduce the sub mental
fullness and an energy device to tighten the skin are among the best
non-surgical combinations to help your neck concerns.Kybella is an
injection procedure that dissolves the fat an may require between 2-4
treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. There is some swelling and bruising
potential, with the greatest amount with the first treatment.The
Coolsculpting mini procedure cools the fatty tissue under the submental
area and also reduces the fatty tissue under the chin.As far
as energy devices, I would recommend Ulthera if you are looking for
something with no downtime, or Profound if you could tolerate some
downtime. Ulthera is an ultrasound based energy that heats the
underlying tissue and stimulates collagen in response. Profound is a
radio frequency microneedling device that allows for the creation of
Elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid and hence restores some of the
lost elasticity in the neck. It has more visible downtime with the
possibility of some swelling and bruising that diminishes in about a
weeks time.Surgical options are also very rewarding and include
liposuction or neck lift. I would recommend visiting with a board
certified plastic surgeon in your area to help you discuss your options
in more detail.
