Double chins are not only unsightly, but they’re also notoriously difficult to get rid of via exercise and/or healthy eating. This is where CoolSculpting, a double chin and fat elimination treatment approved by the FDA, comes in.
Most people who’ve heard of CoolSculpting think this revolutionary, non-surgical fat reduction procedure only works on the stomach. However, the treatment gets rid of fat in several other areas, including the chin/neck area.
Before we get to how CoolSculpting double chin reduction works, let’s examine the factors that cause double chins.
1. Weight gain
Gaining excess pounds can lead to the development of an additional layer of stubborn fat beneath the chin. If you eat exorbitant amounts of saturated and/or trans fats, processed foods, and calorie-high edibles, you’re extremely likely to add extra weight to various parts of your body, including the chin, jaw, and neck areas.
2. Genes
Genetics may influence the development of a double chin, especially if your family has a history of double chins or skin lacking in elasticity.
3. Age
Speaking of skin elasticity, our skin becomes less elastic the older we get. This can cause the skin under your chin to sag, which in turn contributes to the appearance of a double chin. If there is too much-sagging skin, the CoolSculpting double chin procedure will not be the right option.
Either a skin tightening device ie laser CO2 or micro-needling RF such as Fractora, or Ulthera can be considered or a surgical neck lift will be needed..
CoolSculpting double chin treatment
Relying on Harvard-developed technology, CoolSculpting uses a device to target, freeze, and cause the natural death of fat cells in the treatment area, which in the case of the double chin treatment is the fatty area beneath the chin. The entire process involves no injections or cutting and can take between one and four hours. While you can expect some mild discomfort and minor side effects during and after the procedure, the recovery period is extremely brief and won’t interfere with most of your regular routines.
After your CoolSculpting double chin treatment, you can expect to see changes in as early as 3 weeks, and huge improvements within 2 to 3 months. The results are lasting as the fat in the treated area is permanently removed.
