Can the neck area ( double chin ) be treated by cool sculpting and what is the cost?

The Coolmini is a newer addition to Coolsculpting, and works to reduce the submental fat pad. It is painless and takes 45 minutes. The average cost is $1,000 in the New York area. Depending on the patient 1-2 sessions may be required for the best outcome, and is very popular with patients with very little down time.- Dr. P

This is an important question - and the appearance of a double chin can make a very thin person look heavy.  There are many treatments for this - Kybella - CoolSculpting and lipo.  What I think is most important is that you go to a provider who is able to do all three.  Some injectors will only be able to offer one or two and thus will not give you a balanced opinion.  There are pros and cons about each - definitely meet with a board certified plastic surgeon.I wish you the best of luck!

Cool sculpting can be used very effectively to remove fat from under the chin. The Coolsclupt mini applicator is used most often in this area. Its only effective however if the double chin is caused by fat. Often excess skin or even a lax platysma muscle contributes to the sagging in this area. Those issues can look worse after the fat is removed so be cautious and ask your surgeon what would work best for you.

Good Luck!

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.

By using a patented technology called cryolipolysis(TM), the CoolMini applicator can freeze up to 20 to 30% of fat in a double chin. Freezing kills the fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body over time. Because fat freezes at a higher temperature than does water, surrounding tissues are not affected by the treatment, making it virtually risk free. Side effects are minor and include swelling and redness, which generally resolves within a couple of hours to weeks. Usually two treatments can create dramatic results. We can sometimes perform the two sessions in the same appointment day, overlapping the center where the fat is usually worse. The cost of CoolMini varies by each individual case as well as by provider. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist to find out how you can get rid of your double chin for good.

Yes, the FDA recently cleared a new CoolSculpting applicator called the CoolMini which is specifically designed for small areas of fat such as a double chin, the armpits, and the knees. CoolMini uses the same cryolipolisis “freeze the fat” technology, with the same results (approximately a 20-30% reduction in fat on average after one treatment). I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist for a consultation to see if you are a good candidate for the CoolMini treatment.

Coolsculpting has come out with a newer hand piece known at the cool mini that fits under the chin to treat submental fat, or the "double chin." The treatment is 45 mins long, results are permanent and our office is charging $775 for this procedure, however we offer monthly discounts and specials. Good luck.

There is now a new applicator that can effectively treat the area under the chin. Normally 1-2 cycles are required depending on the person and each cycle is usually around $750 per cycle. Not everyone is a candidate, so it is best to have a consultation in order to determine if the treatment is right for you.
