Can CoolSculpting be done on the neck - turkey neck?

Coolsculpting can be used for the neck, but lacks contouring which is needed in this area. Usually a combination approach is best to get the most improvement. After Coolsculpting, I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, and exilis to improve results. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

CoolMini is a great option for the double chin. It is important for your doctor to examine the area to make sure this is the best treatment for you. There are other options such as kybella and liposuction depending on the size of your double chin and multiple other factors.  Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.
