Lose Your Double Chin with Coolsculpting in Staten Island
According to an ASDA study performed in 2014, two-thirds of adult Americans worry about having a double chin. Age and genetics play a large part in how neck and chin fat develops. While lifestyle can contribute to submental fullness, many adults find that lifestyle changes are ineffective for double chin reduction. Because double chins are notorious for resisting diet and exercise, it is unsurprising that many men and women are seeking a professional solution to reduce stubborn chin and neck fat.
What is a double chin and how does it form so easily?
Contrary to what people think, double chins are not entirely a byproduct of poor lifestyle choices like indulging in the wrong foods or not exercising enough. To everyone’s surprise, double chins are mostly influenced by genetics, gender, age, and hormones. The neck and jaw are notorious for storing fat cells and resisting diet and exercise. No wonder 66% of Americans struggle with embarrassing chin and neck fat buildups, causing the appearance of a double chin.
HOW TO GET RID OF A DOUBLE CHIN
WHAT DOESN’T WORK
You will find dozens of claims on the internet regarding miraculous fixes and simple cures for double chin reduction. Unfortunately, many of these solutions do not work. Here’s a look at what does not work and why it does not work for reducing chin fat:
SKIN TIGHTENING CREAMS
While skin tightening creams do have their benefits, they can do nothing to reduce fat buildup in the chin. Rather, its formula helps support skin hydration, making skin appear smoother, supple, and hydrated. However, if you want to reduce a double chin, these creams can do nothing for you.
DOUBLE CHIN “EXERCISES”
It’s nice to think that if we work out enough, we can achieve the body of our dreams. Sadly, this is not the case with double chins. No amount of “double chin exercises” can spot reduce fat in this area. The most you can do is adopt a regular cardio workout routine and focus on reducing your body's overall fat rather than trying to reduce it in one specific area.
FAD COSMETIC PRODUCTS
Some fad cosmetic products, like red-light machines or facial slimming straps, are not enough to reduce the fat cells in the chin. While they have benefits, like tightening and firming the skin in unique ways, they do not target fat reduction and will likely do nothing for you if you have a significant amount of fat buildup.
WHAT DOES WORK
The good news is that if you’re struggling with the embarrassment of a double chin and want to invest in effective reduction treatments, you’re in luck! There are several available on the market. For example, invasive surgery, including chin lipo and minimally invasive Kybella injections, helps reduce the fat cells in the chin. The problem? They’re invasive and come with a complicated recovery and healing timeline. This fact can put people off and often discourage them from seeking help to reduce their double chins.
This is where CoolSculpting comes in to save the day!

HOW DOES coolsculpting REDUCE FAT?
CoolSculpting works through a process of cryolipolysis. It reduces chin and neck fat through controlled cooling of the treatment area, which forces underlying fat to freeze and undergo cell death, without injuring the skin or tissue around the fat.³ In clinical studies, 83% of patients were happy with their CoolSculpting results, and eight out of ten patients reported that they would recommend the procedure to others. The CoolMini boasts an average fat reduction of 20%, so it can reveal dramatic results in as little as 1-2 visits ³ although individual experiences may vary.
