CoolSculpting
Can cool sculpting be used under chin and on sides of face? Or is it limited to abdomen, back, buttocks and thighs?
Currently, there are no applicators that can treat the face. There are applicators that can effectively treat areas such as the thighs, abdomen, back, and arms.
Clinical Context
CoolSculpting reduces fat by cooling cells until they break down through a natural process called apoptosis. The body then clears these cells over time through normal metabolic pathways, so results typically become visible gradually over one to three months rather than immediately. Treatment areas are chosen based on FDA clearance and safety testing for each specific applicator, which determines where the device can be used effectively and safely on the body.
