How Does CoolSculpting Differ From Kybella For Submental Fullness?
KYBELLA, FROM ALLERGAN, IS AN INJECTABLE DEOXYCHOLIC ACID.
Research has demonstrated that this substance is relevant to the breakdown of fat in the body. To treat submental fullness, or the double chin, clinicians perform about 30 tiny injections in the area beneath the chin. We make this comfortable with a topical anesthetic. CoolSculpting and Kybella both cause fat cells to die off and leave the body. However, at our office in Bend CoolSculpting does this with temperature, not a chemical solution. Both treatments produce results over a period of time.
What Is CoolSculpting Treatment Like?
With CoolSculpting Chin Bend patients have the treatment delivered via a small applicator that is applied to the area beneath the chin. Through this applicator, the fat cells beneath the surface are cooled. Due to the intensity of the cold, you may feel slight tenderness or tingling. These sensations will diminish into a numb feeling after a few minutes. Because the hand piece pulls tissue up and away, it is possible to feel a mild pinching sensation.
Don’t let a double chin be the single thing that you notice. Call EsthetixMD for more information on CoolSculpting chin treatment. Clinical research demonstrates the safety and efficiency of CoolSculpting treatment, both for the body and the chin. The effects of cool temperatures elicit more of an internal response than one that is visible. Other than minor redness, you will have no side effects that will require recovery. You may return to your normal activities as soon as you leave our office.
CoolSculpting removes fat cells by causing lipids to crystallize. This means that you should continue to enjoy results. In fact, one study showed that submental fullness did not increase even in patients who gained weight after CoolSculpting.
While research suggests that results from CoolSculpting chin treatment can remain consistent even when weight increases, patients are encouraged to manage weight with healthy lifestyle habits. The removal of fat cells does not mean that the remaining cells will not expand if significant weight gain occurs. CoolSculpting is designed to address unwanted fat. This device will not have an effect on skin laxity. We can discuss treatment options to tighten skin if necessary after your CoolSculpting procedure.

CoolSculpting Chin Frequently Asked Questions
How long do CoolSculpting results last?
The good news is that eliminated fat cells cannot return, so the fat reduction you will experience with CoolSculpting is permanent. However, the remaining fat cells will continue to behave normally. Significant weight change may impact results as fat cells naturally swell and shrink with weight change.
Who is an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting chin treatment?
CoolSculpting is a safe and effective treatment for most generally healthy adults with excess submental fat. However, some medical conditions can prevent patients from receiving CoolSculpting Chin. Such conditions include cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinemia, and paroxysmal cold hemoglobulinuria.
What are the risks and side effects of CoolSculpting?
During your procedure, you may experience a pulling or tugging sensation. This is completely normal. After your treatment, you may feel localized pain, aching, or stinging. These side effects may last about two weeks. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising may also occur but should resolve within a few weeks. Rarely, a serious side effect called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia may occur. This condition most often occurs in men and involves the enlargement of treated cells. While this side effect is a purely cosmetic concern, it requires surgical correction.
