Diminish Your Double Chin with the CoolMini
Excess submental fat, often referred to as a double chin, can make you look older than you really are. Until recently the only way to treat what is medically known as submental fat [double chin] was surgical with liposuction and or a neck/facelift. FDA approved since September 2015, the CoolMini by CoolSculting is one of the most exciting developments in aesthetic medicine. The most advanced non-invasive fat reduction treatment, CoolMini can target small areas under the chin, knees, and around the bra strap. MD Aesthetica and Dr.Lyos were one of the very first clinics to offer the device in Houston\The Woodlands and Texas.
The Power of CoolMini at MD Aesthetica
CoolMini by CoolSculpting is both safe and very effective. The CoolMini treats the area in 45 minutes and is is placed directly under the neck. One to three treatments give dramatic improvement of neck fullness and double chin with few if any side effects. After many treatments we have found the treatment to be relatively comfortable. There is little discomfort, no swelling, no bruising, just redness which lasts a matter of minutes, and occasional numbness and a bit of tenderness afterwards. CoolMini side-effects are mild are rarely last long.
The CoolMini Procedure
The CoolMini as with all Coolsculpting technology at MD Aesthetica works via cryolipolysis. The device against the skin [which is protected by a special gel pad] and lowers the temperature of the fat to just above the freezing point. The cold irreparably damages the fat cells. The body gradually removes the dead cells through natural processes. Due to the natural elimination process results are usually seen in one to four months, and many patients benefit from a second treatment. Research shows that as much as 25% of your unwanted fat can be removed in a single CoolSculpting session. The CoolMini procedure takes 60 minutes. Patients are comfortable enough to take a nap or watch a movie during treatment; furthermore MD Aesthetica even provides Netflix and light snacks.
