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

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.

Hello and thank you for asking this excellent question! Realizing your question was asked awhile back, I am not exactly sure if the CoolMini was available at the time.  The CoolMini applicator was designed specifically to treat this common problem area and we're very pleased with the opportunity to effectively treat this area. We see men and women (equally) pursuing a non-surgical treatment alternative for unwanted fat in the neck and chin and the results are excellent.  CoolMini averages $1000-$2000 for the treatment, and this is accomplished in a single office visit, with little or no downtime (swelling) or discomfort following.

You may very well have elected treatment at this point, but if not, I highly recommend you meet with a practice that provides this treatment.

All the best,
