I have had three Venus Freeze treatments on my chin/neck area and I haven’t noticed any change or results yet. Is this normal?

Question

My main concern is my double chin and I chose these treatment due to good reviews and the fact that it is not invasive and requires no down time. I haven’t seen any difference after three treatments and I’m wondering if that is normal, or if this treatment may not work for me?

Thank you for your question.Typically a treatment regimen is 6-8 treatments. I would suggest finishing your treatments before you make any decisions. Also, look at your before and afters. Sometimes you look at yourself everyday, so you do not notice the changes as much as someone else does.

Hi and thank you for your question! Venus Freeze is an excellent noninvasive FDA-cleared energy-based treatment that combines radiofrequency and magnetic pulsing to stimulate connective tissue to make more collagen and new blood vessels, etc to rejuvenate and tighten the skin (e.g. in face and neck) and it can also be used for body sculpting in other areas. We generally recommend 6-8 sessions spaced a few days apart to start, and although some patients might notice results after just a few treatments, 3 sessions might be too few. Additionally, since the treatment works gradually by stimulating your own body's rejuvenating power, we need to allow time and typically several weeks are needed for the results to reach optimal level. Lastly, as the changes occur and emerge slowly and gradually, it is easy to overlook and miss them and hence, taking before and after pictures to be able to objectively track and compare the results is highly recommended. I hope it helps and good luck!

Thank you for your question. Venus Freeze is an excellent treatment for skin tightening, and is pain-free with no down time. We generally recommend patients complete a series of 6-8 treatments on the face and neck for optimal results. Venus Freeze does eliminate fat that lies close to the skin, however, the reduction is not permanent, and fullness under the chin may be better addressed with Kybella or other treatments. Discuss your concerns with your provider to determine the best course of action.

Venus Freeze is a good, non invasive option for reducing localized fat and tightening lax skin. The full facial protocol is 6 treatments, once or twice per week with peak results expected at 12 weeks post last treatment. You may not see an improvement until you have completed all treatments per the protocol and results will vary. Be sure to seek out an experienced provider. We hope this information is helpful and wish you the best of luck with your skincare goals!

I would not say that Venus Freeze is the best treatment to address a double chin. Fat is just at deeper levels there and the Venus Freeze doesn't have the heat capacity to do that. I would suggest either Mini FX, Profound, or Kybella. But Venus Freeze I just don't think it going to achieve what you want. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and

We have seen great results with Venus Freeze treatments - but only for skin tightening. Not as much with fat removal - when that happens, we see it as an added benefit. 
If you are looking for guaranteed results for reduction of under the chin fat, we suggest liposuction. Or, non surgical options would be Kybella and Coolsculpting, both FDA approved for fat reduction.
