Cryolipolysis: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Cool Sculpting with the cool mini under the chin (submental) will not harm your brain. It is a localized treatment and only affects the cells in the treatment zone. My clients thus far have not reported anything like that feeling.

We always warn patients they might feel numb, a little sensitive and in rare cases might have soreness when swallowing but not one of my patients so far have found that to be true. (Robert Heck, MD, FACS, Columbus Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting safety

CoolSculpting is a very safe procedure which only affects the fat immediately under the skin in the area being treated. There is no danger of affecting the brain at all. (Mark Beaty, MD, Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon)

CoolSculpting is a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Several different areas can be treated with this procedure including the neck/chin area. There are no harmful effects to the brain when treating the chin. (Jill C. Fichtel, MD, Columbus Dermatologic Surgeon)

Cool Sculpting mini for the neck and chin – a great option

The Cool Sculpting Mini is FDA-approved for use in the “submental” region – the neck are just below the chin. This standard Cool Sculpting applicators are better suited for treating areas such as the abdomen or thighs.

If you’d like a slimmer neckline, then Cool Mini is a great, safe option. (Jill C. Fichtel, MD, Columbus Dermatologic Surgeon)

Treatment of Double chin

Both the cool-mini and Kybella are very effective at treating the fat under the chin and are permanent. If you have a small amount of fat it sounds like Kybella might be the better option for you. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)

Is CoolSculpting dangerous to the brain?

A CoolSculpting treatment to the chin will only affect the fat in that area and not the brain. The procedure does feel cold on the treated area but this sensation normally becomes numb after several minutes. (Michael I. Echavez, MD, San Francisco Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Coolscultping on Chin Not Dangerous–Combine with RF (Vanquish, Venus Legacy), Cellutone for Fat Reducing

There is not evidence of a brain effect. Coolsculpting is great for the submental area and shoud be combined with radiofrequency treatments such as Vanquish/Venus Legacy/Exilis and z wave/x wave/Cellutone to maximize results. (Jason Emer, MD, Los Angeles Dermatologic Surgeon)

There is no possible side effects to the brain with the Coolmini. Brain freeze occurs with popsicles and ice cream, do you stop doing that? It is a great treatment for submental fat. (Steven F. Weiner, MD, Panama City Facial Plastic Surgeon)

cool sculpting does not affect the rest of your head. Only the neck area is affected by the device and there is no evidence of brain effect. (Terrence Murphy, MD, Englewood Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting for the Chin/Cool-mini

Coolsculpting for the submental area is a great way to reduce the fat without any down time. It doesn’t cause “brain freeze”. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)

The cool sculpt machine has a patent technology and temperature that is safe and studied extensively. Please do not try this method at home it simply is not safe. (Robert Heck, MD, FACS, Columbus Plastic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting mini

Coolsculpting mini is a new hand piece that is specifically sized and FDA-approved to treat submental fat. Prior to that there was no hand piece that would work for that area due to size constraints. (Michelle Ellern, DO, Livingston Physician)

Treating the chin area with Coolsculpting

The fact is that prior to the Coolmini, the device was unable to attach to the chin/submental area because the handpieces were too big. The Coolmini has the upgraded technology as well that allows for faster, more comfortable treatments as well and perhaps better outcomes.

It is similar to the Cooladvantage technology. (Steven F. Weiner, MD, Panama City Facial Plastic Surgeon)

The CoolMini is the first and only applicator that allows CoolSculpting to be done under the chin. The other applicators are too big to treat this area. (Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS, Sherman Oaks General Surgeon)

Chin Contouring with Coolsculpting versus VASER, ThermiRF, ultrasound versus Kybella

The cool-mini has been approved to treat under the chin, whereas the older technology were unable to treat that area. However, I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative with or without thermage/ultherapy/exilis.

PDO nova threads can further improve the jawline. (Jason Emer, MD, Los Angeles Dermatologic Surgeon)
