Which laser helps to reduce face and chin fat?

Question

I have a lot of face and under-chin fat (and back neck fat) that does not really go away with dieting. I am looking for a non-surgical laser alternative to reduce the face and chin fat. Some lasers that I read about are SmartLipo, CoolSculpting, Acculift, Sculpsure, Kybella, V-Shape. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like Coolsculpting with Vanquish or trusculpt iD to get small areas of fat reduced. Skin also tightens if you combine this with Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments. You boost the results from Coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We often combine Coolsculpting with shock therapy like ZWave, EVIVE, and Cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia. Coolsculpting often takes a few treatments separated 8 to 12 weeks apart to get significant improvement.   However, to get the most fat removal, contouring, skin tightening and definition, a VASER HI-DEF liposuction / liposculpture procedure with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite and fat grafting is your best bet. This will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

We have a few options for this.The 3D Laser - This treatment uniquely stimulates collagen from within your own skin cells in a 3-Dimentional way. The neck and face appear lifted, smoother and tighter with less lines and wrinkles. Each treatment is painless and takes approximately 30 minutes with results seen after one treatment.Or the Ultherapy treatment- Ultherapy is a safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. It uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. The only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA to actually lift skin.Ultherapy is also the only cosmetic procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment to ensure the energy is deposited to where it will be most beneficial.With the addition of the new Ultherapy® Décolletage Treatment, Ultherapy is also now the only non-invasive procedure specifically indicated by the FDA to improve lines and wrinkles on the chest.

Thank you for your question, there are a few options available to you. If you are thinking of going the non-invasive route I recommend Kybella. Kybella is an injectable product that can be used to help your body to rid itself of fat cells that form submental fat. This can be used in the double chin and the bra fat area. If you are looking for a minimally invasive route I would consider having SmartLipo and Accutite. SmartLipo is an incredibly effective way to remove stubborn deposits of fat. Accutute is the newest form of precise skin tightening. Combining these two treatments will give you maximum results. However, I suggest an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist! Best of luck!
