#SYNERON CANDELA COOL BLAST SKIN#
This short (10-12 minutes) and simple treatment is also relatively painless and may tighten skin because of the cell necrosis and subsequent inflammatory process.ĬoolSculpting, by contrast, can debulk bigger necks, treat lateral areas, and involves less downtime than Kybella. Kybella can treat small areas of fat, does not require a capital investment, and can be done in a small exam room. Kybella and CoolSculpting each have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. However, even non-optimal candidates can be improved with both therapies as long as the patients are adequately informed and have realistic expectations. In older patients, the platysma muscle can be unmasked when fat is removed, so caution is advised. By contrast, patients who have loose and redundant skin under their chin and neck are weaker candidates for these therapies, as they target fat, not laxity. These treatments are real home-runs for young people who have a genetic predisposition to fat underneath the chin.

In general, these therapies are best for non-obese individuals who simply have a deposition of fat under the chin. The key is matching the correct treatment or treatments with the correct patient. Kybella (deoxycholic acid) injections cause necrosis of submental fat, and CoolSculpting’s CoolMini applicator freezes under-chin fat cells to apoptosis. For a time, surgery and/or liposuction were the only ways to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat in the once-neglected submental region, but today there are at least two noninvasive modalities that specifically target double chins and can be used alone or together.
