COOLMINI by CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. This article provides an informative overview of the use of COOLMINI, including its indications, risks, benefits, and details about the procedure.

Introduction

Submental fat can be a source of frustration for many individuals, impacting both their appearance and self-confidence. COOLMINI is a cutting-edge solution that offers a non-surgical way to address this concern and achieve a more contoured, refined jawline.

Understanding COOLMINI

COOLMINI is a miniature applicator that employs the same cryolipolysis technology used in CoolSculpting, a widely acclaimed non-invasive fat reduction treatment. Cryolipolysis involves:

Freezing fat cells.

Causing them to crystallize and gradually die off.

• Leading to a reduction in the targeted fat area.

Procedure Overview

1. Consultation: The process typically starts with a consultation with Tracey Bell, where your concerns and goals will be discussed. We will determine your suitability for COOLMINI based on your overall health and specific submental fat concerns.
2. Preparation: Once deemed a good candidate, the treatment area is cleansed, and a protective gel pad is placed on the skin to prevent damage or discomfort during the procedure.
3. Applicator Placement: The COOLMINI applicator is then applied to the targeted submental area, securing the excess skin and fat between two cooling panels.
4. Cooling Process: Controlled cooling is initiated, which freezes the fat cells without harming the surrounding skin or tissues. Patients often experience a sensation of coldness and pressure during this phase.
5. Duration: A single treatment session typically lasts around 45 minutes to an hour, during which you can relax, read, or even take a nap.
6. Massage: After the cooling phase, a brief massage is performed on the treated area to enhance fat breakdown and contouring.
7. Recovery: There is minimal to no downtime associated with COOLMINI, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately post-treatment.

Indications

COOLMINI is primarily indicated for individuals with submental fullness or excess fat under the chin, often called a “double chin.” It is an effective solution for non-surgical fat reduction and facial contouring.

Risks and Considerations

While COOLMINI is generally considered safe and low-risk, some potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, or discomfort in the treated area. These side effects typically resolve within a few days to a few weeks. Consent involves discussing all the risks relevant to you.

Benefits

1. Non-Invasive: COOLMINI offers a non-surgical alternative to reduce submental fat without the need for incisions or anaesthesia.
2. No Downtime: Patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure, making it convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
3. Effective Results: Most patients notice a visible reduction in submental fat and improved jawline contours within a few weeks to months after the treatment.
4. Long-Term Solution: The fat cells destroyed during the treatment are naturally eliminated by the body and do not return, providing lasting results.
