My chin fat is very soft and squishy. I am afraid that it will sag after the treatment. I am 37 years old, healthy and active. The chin is genetic. How many areas should the applicator be placed in one session for the best results? Do you think 20-25% reduction will be noticeable?
Answer: CoolSculpting and Skin Laxity CoolSculpting will not make your skin any more lax than it is currently. In fact, often times patients experience some skin tightening in the months following their treatment. However, it is important to note that if you have significant skin laxity before CoolSculpting, and the fat that has been filling in that loose skin is eliminated, it can make the skin appear more curtain-like. This goes for any area of the body, double chin included.

Answer: CoolMini 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. 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

Answer: CoolMini Hello, Thank you for your question and picture. Based on what can be seen in the picture you may do well with treating the area in a criss-cross manner, so one on each side but with a slight overlap in the middle. You may still need a second treatment directly in the middle, but you can wait to see results before deciding. It appears you have some loose skin in the area so you may want to look into Ulthera or Profound after your CoolSculpting treatment. It is imperative that you consult with a local physician in person to determine if you are an appropriate candidate. Good luck!

Answer: Cool mini Dear Christine, thank you for your question. Absolutely best way forward is to have a one to one consultation with certified provider but at a glance you seem like a perfect candidate for overlapping treatment with 2 applicators. Usually it’s a one off treatment and my advice is less is more. With regards to skin laxity, at 36 we would expect good skin retraction post treatment. Good luck, Dr G x

Answer: Cool Mini Treatment Plan Hi and thank you for your question! We are seeing fantastic results with the cool mini, with very little to no downtime! Most patients only have mild swelling (if any) for a few days. It is difficult to say for sure how many applicators you would be a candidate for without measuring with the sizing tool. However, it does seem that overlapping at least two cycles would be ideal to get more definition in the jawline and cover more areas. This would also allow for a better result from the first session, because the two cycle would overlap in the center. We do see some skin tightening in this area (and cool mini did receive an FDA approval for skin tightening), but for best result you may want additional treatments to tighten the skin further once you cool mini sessions are complete. Additionally, we are recommending all of our patients start on a topical skin cream from Alastin called TransFORM body treatment. This has been found in studies to accelerate and enhance the fat reduction process from coolsculpting and to improve the appearance of skin texture, laxity and crepiness. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
