Adios, Double Chin! I’m Scheduled for CoolSculpting®

Are you ready to say adios to your double chin? We want to tell you how you can with CoolSculpting.

Your double chin

The double chin is a pocket of fat under the chin that affects the shape of your profile. Also called submental fullness, the double chin may develop from weight gain or aging. Additionally, some people inherit the extra fullness.

No matter the underlying cause, the submental fullness is a stubborn pocket of fat that may not slim down, even when you reach a healthy weight with diet and exercise. Many people express unhappiness about how their double chins make them look older than their actual age or heavier than their weight.

But you don’t have to live with the extra fullness under the chin — and surgery is no longer your only option. 

CoolSculpting away the double chin

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive body contouring treatment that uses freezing technology to get rid of pockets of fat under the skin.

For the chin, we place a special paddle over the skin in the area. The paddle delivers freezing temperatures that disrupt the structure of the fat cells without harming any other cells or tissues. The fat cells die, and the body removes them over time, leaving you with a slimmer profile. 

What to expect

Our skilled cosmetic dermatologists customize your CoolSculpting treatment plan based on your personal concerns and goals. Your treatment time may take less than an hour, and you can resume your usual activities afterward.

CoolSculpting is painless. You may initially feel an intense cooling sensation, followed by numbness. Once your session is complete, our specialist massages the skin to increase circulation and support the fat eliminating process.

You may notice improvements in your profile about a month after your first session. We may recommend additional treatments to help you achieve your desired look. Final results appear about six months after your last treatment.

Once the fat is gone, it won’t come back. As long as you maintain a healthy weight, CoolSculpting your double chin is a long-term solution for getting the look you want.
