What is CoolMini™?
For over two years our practice has used CoolSculpting to effectively freeze away fat bulges on tummies, thighs, arms and hips. Now we can utilize the same type of technology to reduce the appearance of a “double chin.” The FDA has just cleared a new fat-freezing treatment for chin fat: the CoolMini™. This miniature applicator is designed specifically to target excess fat cells that have collected under the chin. Utilizing the same basic technique as CoolSculpting, the CoolMini procedure can destroy the excess fat and cause it to filter out of the body through natural metabolic processes. Two sessions are often required for the best results and each treatment takes about one hour to complete. No surgery or extensive recovery time is necessary with this procedure.

The CoolMini can be a wonderful non-surgical option for those who may have considered mini-liposuction but wanted to avoid surgery. CoolMini treatments are performed in our office in a private room set up with a reclining chair, television, and wi-fi.
After one hour of treatment with the CoolMini, the applicator is removed and the targeted area is massaged. The area will be a bit red for a few hours (think of pink cheeks from winter wind) and will feel numb for a few weeks. Your second treatment will be scheduled approximately four weeks after the first and you should see the full effects in about two months.

Like other non-surgical double chin reduction treatments – such as neck lift or facelift. We will perform a comprehensive evaluation of the area and talk with you about your options during your initial consultation.
The CoolMini can provide patients with a beautifully recontoured profile and address a problem that can be very frustrating for many people. We are very excited to offer this advanced treatment here at Pinsky Plastic Surgery!
