I perform several procedures to reduce fat in the neck such as liposuction, thermitight, kybella and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to use CoolMini, the special applicator designed for the neck, even before it was introduced to most physicians in New York City. In the past two years of use, we have learned that most patients benefit by having two overlapping applicators applied (one at a time), although some patients' necks are too small to fit and need only one applicator. I see all patients myself, in consultation prior to treatment to ensure they are a good candidate for the coolsculpting of the neck and determine then how many applicators would be needed based on their anatomy.
Yes, Zeltiq now offers a FDA approved Coolsculpting applicator, the CoolMini, to treat sub-mental fat deposits. For optimal results, I suggest two treatments, set six weeks apart. Fat reductions of 20% to 25% can be achieved. For pricing and to determine if you are a candidate for the treatment, you should consult with an experienced provider in your area.
The Cool Mini applicator is great for treatment of the submentum (double chin) area. There is minimal discomfort and no downtime. Most patients see significant results with 1-2 treatments. The prices can vary, so it is best to obtain a consultation to determine pricing and if you are a candidate for treatment.
