Do you have unwanted fat under your chin or along your jawline? Have you tried everything to address this problem area from dieting to exercise to gadgets designed to sculpt these areas and they have not worked? If so, don’t think that your only two options are to live with the problem or to resort to invasive liposuction. There is another option: CoolSculpting.

Here is more information on what CoolSculpting is, what to expect from the procedure, and the results you are likely to get from CoolSculpting for chin.

Cutting Edge Technology

Unlike procedures like liposuction, CoolSculpting is non-invasive; it uses cutting edge fat-freezing technology to freeze and kill fat cells in targeted areas. The process—which uses a specialized machine with c-shaped applicators that can be applied to multiple parts of the body– freezes fat so the body can then flush the dead cells out.

The CoolSculpting procedure is non-invasive and involves very little downtime and/or side effects. It is FDA approved to target these areas of the body: the upper arms, back or bra fat, flanks or love handles, under the buttocks or banana roll, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, and under the chin or jawline.

Good Potential Patients

Good candidates for CoolSculpting for chin fit these criteria: they are bothered by excess fat in their chin or jawline area and have tried diet and exercise to address the problem area with little or no success and do not want to undergo invasive procedures to remove the fat. Providers of CoolSculpting also would like to see: patients who are at or near their ideal body weight and in good physical health. Though the CoolSculpting procedure is non-invasive and involves only a small chance of side effects, those who are in good general health are less likely to experience any side effects and will be more likely to be able to get back to their normal activities shortly after treatment.

What to Expect

CoolSculpting is not a painful procedure, a concern that many potential patients are worried about. However, the cold sensation that comes with it may be unpleasant to some even though the treated area quickly becomes numb due to the cold. Depending on how many areas are being treated and the amount of fat that is present, a CoolSculpting session can take anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours. It’s always a good idea to ask your provider during a free consultation how long he or she thinks each session will take.

You may feel a tingling sensation after your session or the targeted area may feel sore, achy, itchy, or sensitive. You may also feel some minor cramping in the targeted area. Massaging the area may help your body dispose of the dead fat cells and reduce discomfort.

The area may also appear bruised, red, or may swell and be tender for a few hours or days after your treatment. These minor side effects should subside quickly and, if they do not, you should contact your provider.

You can expect to have up to a 25% fat reduction result with just one session of CoolSculpting. If you would like to see further results, you may need additional treatments or you may consider combining CoolSculpting with another treatment for more visible results.
