A double chin is a common problem faced by a large number of individuals. It is a roll of fat that accumulates below the chin. A double chin usually develops as a result of sudden weight gain or sometimes due to certain genetic predispositions. A double chin is quite stubborn and hard to get rid of. A double chin makes a person appear much older than they actually are.

What is CoolMini?

CoolSculpting has developed a procedure called Cool Mini to help patients get rid of their stubborn double chin. It is a form of non-invasive fat reduction treatment for removing the fat cells under the chin. It is a much better and safer alternative to liposuction. The procedure requires no downtime and results can be observed in just two to three visits.

Cool Mini can reduce stubborn pockets of fat from anywhere on the body. Being a non-invasive procedure, there are no stitches or surgeries involved. Cool Mini is FDA approved and can be used to treat double chin, neck fat, and jowl. In addition, Cool Mini can also be used to reduce fat in the arms, knees, and ankles.

Cool Mini uses a procedure called Cryolipolysis to treat double chin. Cryolipolysis is a procedure in which fat cells are frozen. The frozen fat cells are then assimilated by the body's immune system thus reducing the fat in a particular area. The freezing of fat cells causes cell death. The procedure does not have any effect on the surrounding skin or tissues.

The Procedure

Cool Mini uses a curved applicator to treat the neck fat. The applicator uses extremely cold temperatures to freeze the body fat. The cold quickly numbs the area of the neck fat so that there is there is virtually very little discomfort.

The treatment lasts for forty five minutes. There are no side effects and results are observed very quickly in most cases. Treatment requires at least two to three sessions. The total number of sessions depends on the extent of fat to be removed Cool Mini merely treats neck fat and does not tighten up loose skin.

Who is a good candidate for Cool Mini?

Any individual above the age of eighteen and in relatively good health can undergo a Cool Mini procedure. Individuals with life threatening diseases should refrain from taking up the treatment. Pregnant and nursing women are not recommended to undergo the treatment.

After The Treatment

Immediately after the treatment, patients are likely to experience some numbness in the area which has been treated. This is a side effect of the freezing temperatures and will subside gradually.

Patients can resume their normal activities in no time as there is no downtime in most cases. Patients may also experience some mild bruising and swelling but this will subside as well.

Complete results will appear within a week or two although it depends on a patient's body type as well.

After the treatment, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a proper diet and plenty of exercise in order to maintain the results of the treatment. For the best results, ensure that you schedule your appointments on time and follow-up regularly.

Preparing for the treatment

Since the procedure is non-invasive, there is not much in terms of preparation. It is best to refrain from smoking and taking painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen as they are blood thinners and may cause complications during the surgery.

Also, you may be required to adjust the dosage of certain beta blockers and blood pressure medications. It is best to consult your physician on such matters prior to the procedure.
