Are you troubled by the dreaded double chin? If so, then Coolmini may be the solution for you.
In 2015, the FDA cleared a new applicator, the CoolMini for the treatment of submental fullness due to fat – also known as the double chin.
This is a continuation of the popular, patented CoolSculpting technology from Allergan. The CoolMini’s size, shape, and curvature are specifically designed to treat small, problem areas of fat. As with other CoolSculpting treatments, the procedure is completely non-invasive and patients may see results in as early as a few weeks with the greatest improvement noted about 3 months following treatment.
In the pivotal clinical trial upon which the FDA clearance was based, patients noted an average of 20% fat reduction in 1-2 treatments, with no significant adverse events and with little to no discomfort or downtime.
Total Aesthetics in Westport and Fairfield County
At Total Aesthetics in Westport CoolMini and Kybella both can be used to treat submental fullness as a result of fat – that troubling double chin. Both products were released in 2015 and at Total Aesthetics we were fortunate to have been granted early access to both in order to better serve our patients in Fairfield County and throughout Connecticut. We believe that there is a role for both procedures, and also for liposuction as well as the new Accutite and FaceTite in treating submental fullness and that factors such as variations in anatomy, desired recovery times and amount of skin laxity will influence our patients’ preference.
While liposuction and surgical procedures, such as neck lift and face lift, have been the gold standard for managing submental fat, the recent release of the Coolmini and Kybella have given us two new and exciting, non-invasive alternatives for contouring of this area. For patients with associated skin laxity, Accutite and Morpheus 8 are excellent choices. Because plastic surgeons can offer all these procedures, we recommend consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery prior to treatment of submental fullness.
Like many treatments, the CoolMini from Allergan has an FDA clearance for use in a specific area of the body. Treatments of other areas of problematic, localized fat, such as the knees and underarm areas, is permitted through off-label use.
Like other CoolSculpting procedures, the Coolmini works by a process known as Cryolipolysis® – the selective freezing and subsequent elimination of unwanted fat cells from the body. Long-lasting or permanent results are anticipated because the treated fat cells are gone for good.
Like other areas treated with CoolSculpting, some patients note improvement in just a few weeks. The complete result is usually noted approximately 3 months following treatment.
As with all medical procedures, it’s important for your physician to carefully review your medical and surgical histories and closely examine your face and neck prior to treatment. The neck and face are one of the most complex areas of the body and that’s why we feel that a board certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. O’Connell, is the most qualified type of doctor to evaluate and treat this area.
Dr. O’Connell is personally involved in the evaluation and treatment of each and every CoolSculpting patient. There are no “technicians” and all the available options will be reviewed with you along with their risks, potential side-effects, costs and anticipated recovery times prior to proceeding with any treatment.
At Total Aesthetics we’re not limited to just one or two treatment options – we can offer you the full spectrum of choices for management of submental fullness.
The first step towards a new, beautiful you is to schedule a personal consultation.
Along with providing the highest level of care, no effort is spared to create an environment where each patient is nurtured and cared for as an individual. Use our form to contact Dr. O’Connell with questions about any of our aesthetic or plastic surgery procedures.
