How many CoolMini sessions would I need to treat my double chin? (photo)

For many of our pts, they require one to two treatments for Coolmini of the double chin area. This involves coolsculpting or freezing the fat which slowly resorbs over time. It can take a few months to see the effect, so some of our pts do one treatment then wait a few months to do another treatment. For some of our pt that don't fit into the Coolmini applicator, we do Kybella for fat reduction. All these techniques reduce fat may won't treat skin laxity. We usually like to layer with ultherapy or ThermiSmooth for the best results to treat the skin also.

Most patients require 2 treatments for optimal results using the Coolmini to the submental area.  These Coolmini treatments can be scheduled 2-3 weeks apart with no downtime.  Patients will see final results 3 months following treatment.  It is important to schedule your consultation with a CoolSculpting certified practitioner. Good luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you may benefit from a criss cross application of the CoolMini under your chin. You can evaluate after 2-3 months to determine if you need another round of treatment. Please consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of action based on your concerns. Good luck!

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

Thank you for your question. Most patients do require 2 treatments with CoolMini to the Submental area. I would recommend scheduling a consultation to determine if you are a candidate and how many applications you will need. It is an amazing treatment for reducing Submental fat but an in person assessment would be ideal to determine if you would be a good candidate.

1-2 cycle or applications should improve your profile. I often combine Cool Mini, with Belkyra or Kybella. CoolMini reduces the bulk of fat, then Belkyra is used 4 months later to finesse the area. All the best, Dr Isobel Walker. Brisbane. Australia.

Your pictures suggest that you would be a good candidate for treatment with 2 applications of the CoolSculpting CoolMini to help define the jawline. Once the results from the first treatment are evident (3 months) you may benefit from another CoolSculpting treatment or fine tuning with Kybella. An experienced  physician with CoolSculpting and Kybella can help guide you in the proper direction.
Be Well

Although it is difficult to tell from your photo, I suspect that you will require two applicators per treatment, and most likely two treatments, possibly three, depending on your goals.  Another option to consider is fat dissolving injections. Both Coolsculpting and fat dissolving injections are amazing treatments for permanently removing submental fat and both have their place in my practice. I would recommend a review with an experienced injector who can assess you in person (as a two-dimensional photo doesn't tell the "full 3-D story" of your face), discuss your goals, and formulate a treatment plan. I would also suggest a review at a clinic where both Coolsculpting and fat dissolving injections are available, so you get an unbiased opinion!

Coolsculpting to treat chin fat is a simple non-invasive way to get rid of your double chin.  Usually, 2-3 treatments are required spaced out over 2-3 months.

Dear kqs257:For someone with a neck profile such as yours, generally 2 to 3 treatments using three overlapping CoolMini applicators are required for a good result. An alternative is Kybella, likely requiring two treatments with 2 vials each. An additional benefit of this approach for someone like you is some tightening of the skin.All the best,   Dr. Clark
