The answer to this question is simple. They can get the same or similar results but it will take more time and treatments with Kybella to get the same result that is achieved in one session with Cool mini.
There are clinical studies in place for the use of both treatments in tandem and you will find many dermatologists will recommend both treatments to finesse the results.Kybella is fat destroying solution injected into the fat layer and there is some minimal discomfort following the procedure, as well as some swelling that resolves over several days. An "unpromised side effect" for a number of Kybella patients is some level of skin tightening, though this tightening is not claimed by the maker of the product.CoolSculpting is completely non invasive and generally has little to no effect on overlying skin, so those with normal elasticity get the best results.
Hello, Thank you for your question. The answer really depends on the type of fat you have. Some don't have enough fat to fit in the mini applicator, so Kybella would be best for them. There are many who benefit from a combination treatment of both. It is best to consult with an experienced physician in person to determine what the best course of action would be for you!
CoolMini from CoolSculpting freezes the fat of the neck and is done with one or two applicators and may require two to three treatments which I perform every two months. There is small amount of swelling for a week or so. Kybella requires several treatments, 3 -6 depending on the amount of fat and is repeated every five weeks on average. There is more swelling than with CoolMini for the first two weeks. I refer to it as the Jello jiggle. Some patients don't have enough fat, or the CoolMini applicator doesn't fit well for them so Kybella may be preferable.Both treatments improve the neck but certainly are not as effective as liposuction.
CoolSculpting and Kybella are both effective treatments for submental fullness. While the treatment goals are similar, the procedures and recovery can look pretty different. CoolSculpting with the CoolMini is completely non-invasive using cold panels to permanently eliminate fat cells. Each treatment takes about an hour and typically patients receive 1-3 treatments preformed every 3-12 weeks. There is very minimal down time and patients can return to work or social activities immediately after treatment. CoolMini results are seen as early as one month after treatment and can continue to improve for about 3 months. The limitation of CoolSculpting is the treatment area is restricted to where the applicator panels can touch making the treatment less customizable then Kybella. Kybella is a minimally invasive treatment using small injections to treat the desired area under the chin. The treatment only takes about 15 min and results are typically seen in about a month. The down time for Kybella is typically 3-5 days to be considered socially presentable but swelling can last up to two weeks. Most patients also require 2-3 treatments to achieve the ideal chin profile. Kybella offers a customized approach without surgery, but the down time is more significant than CoolMini. Talking to an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon is the best way find the most ideal treatment plan for you.
Both CoolMini and Kybella are equally excellent, and effective, ways to rid one of the dreaded "double chin." One of the main differences between the two is that Kybella can be customizable for more sculpting of the jawline whereas CoolMini is more generalized to the single size applicator head. It's best to consult with your surgeon to evaluate the area and determine which procedure would most benefit you. Good luck!
Kybella is a new injectableapproved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe fat under the chin;double chin. Up until now the only option for fat removal under the chin wasliposuction or surgically removing the fat by cutting it out.

In our office, we have found Kybella to be superior to the CoolSculpting line. Kybella injection, also known as ATX-101, is the first and onlyFDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance ofsubmental fullness due to submental fat. It has been indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate tosevere convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults.We administer Kybella injections into the fat under the chin during in-office treatments that last 15-20 minutes. I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeonto receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. A consultation provides you the opportunity to relay yourconcerns and desired outcome to the surgeon while the surgeon can assess yourhealth profile and discuss his/her pertinent advice.
Thank you for the great question. Kybella can be utilized more in difficult contoured areas and be tailored to each individual's neck contour. Cool mini has a set applicator which can make it difficult in fitting every neck.
I would not use Coolsculpt mini in areas it is not indicated. Most patients with jowls need skin tightening treatments not fat removal. Please see an experienced physician to discuss your options.
Cool sculpting can be used very effectively to remove fat from under the chin. The Coolsclupt mini applicator is used most often in this area. Its only effective however if the double chin is caused by fat. Often excess skin or even a lax platysma muscle contributes to the sagging in this area....
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 ex...
