What is the recovery like? Is it a bad idea to do it the first week of December if I have plans the following weekend?

Starting to eliminate your double chin with CoolMini is a great self-gift for the holidays! CoolMini is completely noninvasive and rarely causes any side effects other than a little pinkness or slight swelling for the first few days after treatment. Although every individual varies, chances are you’ll be just fine by the next weekend. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who’s been certified by Zeltiq is essential for the best results.

CoolSculpting is a great option for eliminating excess submental fat. The treatment protocol is determined by the location and amount of fatty tissue in the area. Typical post-treatment symptoms do include swelling and the possibility of bruising; however, most swelling is most noticeable to you and usually subsides by 48-72 hours post treatment. This being said, our CoolSculpting specialists suggest not doing a treatment if you have an event or special occasion to celebrate within the following couple of days of treatment to be on the safe side. Best wishes!

It will definitely help to talk to your certified provider, but in our experience, there is usually very little swelling with the cool mini in the neck area. We usually tell patients they can continue their normal activities within 24 hours. There is less swelling in the neck with Coolsculpting as opposed to Kybella.
