Don’t you just hate it when you’re looking down at your phone, and you forgot that the camera was facing you selfie-style—only to see your big double chin? It happens to everyone, but it’s a cruel reminder of that pocket of excess skin below our chin.
Fortunately, there are treatments to tackle this issue. At Lazer Lounge, we offer Kybella injections, which is the leading double chin treatment, to improve this problem for our clients.
But you may have also been hearing about CoolMini, which is a new procedure for double chin removal. Many of our clients want to know the difference between the two, and which one works best.
Let’s take a look.
What Is CoolMini?
By now, everyone has heard of CoolSculpting, the procedure that seems to magically freeze body fat away.
Cool Mini uses the same technology as CoolSculpting but with a different applicator that easily fits the chin area to provide double chin removal.
It works by using concentrated cold therapy to target specific trouble areas.
Fat cells are frozen so that they die, and are eventually absorbed by the body. Results from CoolMini treatments take about 3-4 months to be fully revealed, with many patients experiencing a fat reduction of 20%-25%.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella has been hailed as a wonder drug for double chin removal. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that helps with the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Many people like that Kybella harnesses the power of a molecule that already exists within the body, as opposed to introducing something foreign into themselves.
The results from Kybella take anywhere between 2-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
