An estimated 68% of adults in the United States have unwanted fat under the chin, medically known as submental fat. While eating healthy and exercising can reduce overall body fat, it's challenging to lose fat in particular areas. This is where CoolSculpting can help.
CoolSculpting is an innovative non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise. Read on to learn how CoolSculpting can effectively reduce chin fat for a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.
Up to 25% Fat Reduction With CoolSculpting: Treat Yourself Today!
CoolSculpting, also known as Cryolipolysis, is an FDA-cleared non-surgical procedure that uses precisely controlled cooling technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells. A CoolSculpting machine applicator delivers cooling at just the right temperature to target and kill fat cells underneath the skin, without damaging surrounding tissue.
In the weeks following a CoolSculpting session, the frozen fat cells begin to die off and are naturally flushed out of the body. Results become visible within 2-3 months as the treated area becomes noticeably slimmer. CoolSculpting permanently removes up to 25% of fat cells in a treated area with each session. Additional sessions may further enhance results.
CoolSculpting is safe for most people, with very few side effects. Some temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, cramping may occur at the treatment site. These are mild and usually resolve within days or weeks.

The chin is a common area where people struggle with stubborn submental fat. CoolSculpting can specifically target the chin to slim and contour the area. A 2015 study found that CoolSculpting significantly reduced chin fat by 2.0 mm after just one treatment.
Benefits of CoolSculpting for the chin include:
As with any procedure, there are some risks and considerations to keep in mind:
Always consult with a board-certified provider such as the NJ Center for CoolSculpting to review your options and determine if you are a good candidate.

The recovery period following chin CoolSculpting is relatively quick and easy. Here are some tips for aftercare following the procedure:
1 | Use a warm compress on the treated area to help ease any discomfort and stimulate blood flow in the treated area. |
2 | Take a break from strenuous activity for at least 3-4 days after the CoolSculpting procedure. This helps reduce swelling and pain in the treatment area. |
3 | Wear comfortable, breathable clothing to avoid irritating the treated area. |
4 | Stay active to help keep pain and inflammation at bay, but avoid intense exercise for the first few days. |
5 | Massage the treated area gently to help encourage the skin and muscles to recover. |
6 | Expect some minor side effects like redness, swelling, and tenderness, which should subside within a week or two. |
7 | The recovery period is typically 1-2 weeks, during which normal activities may be limited. |
CoolSculpting destroys the targeted fat cells during the procedure, but your body needs time to dispose of these dead cells. You will likely start to notice some subtle changes in chin contour within 2-3 weeks.
However, maximum results will emerge 2-3 months after treatment. It is normal for your chin to look somewhat enlarged and swollen for the first month. Around the 8 to 12 week mark, thinning of the chin fat should become visible.
For many patients, one CoolSculpting session provides excellent improvement in chin profile but some may opt for an additional session after 12 weeks to further enhance fat reduction. Results following CoolSculpting are permanent as the treated fat cells do not regenerate. However, weight gain can still occur and alter results.
CoolSculpting offers a truly revolutionary way to address stubborn pockets of chin fat non-surgically. The procedure eliminates fat cells for good, so you can enjoy a more sculpted, slimmed jawline and chin profile. Candidates with mild to moderate fullness under the chin tend to see optimal results.
Schedule a consultation with NJ Center for CoolSculpting to learn if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Be sure to address any questions or concerns you may have about the process so you can decide if CoolSculpting is the right choice for your chin recontouring goals.

While the chin is a common trouble spot, CoolSculpting can be used on many other areas of the body to reduce stubborn fat. These include:
CoolSculpting is an excellent non-surgical method to slim and tone the upper arms. The cooling applicator can target fat bulges along the back of the arms, as well as jiggly underarm fat. Typical treatment areas are the triceps, biceps, and bra bulge. CoolSculpting reduces overall arm circumference while also sculpting more defined arm contours.
The stomach area is an FDA-cleared treatment zone for CoolSculpting. The procedure can reduce fat along the front of the tummy, love handles, and back bulges. Applicators are available in different sizes to cover large surface areas. CoolSculpting can eliminate inches from the waistline while also tightening loose skin over time.
Both the outer and inner thighs respond well to CoolSculpting for slimming effects. The cooling applicators can target saddlebags, muffin top bulges, and areas of fat near the knees. Thigh CoolSculpting also helps reduce rubbing and chafing.
Fat pockets under the buttocks, known as the "banana roll", can effectively be reduced with CoolSculpting. The cooling applicator is applied to the targeted area below the cheeks to eliminate fat cells. This results in a lifted, toned appearance.
With customized treatment plans, CoolSculpting can reshape and contour many areas of the body by reducing fat in targeted zones. Schedule an appointment with us to discuss your goals and determine which areas are suitable for CoolSculpting.
