Is it possible for double chin removal with Coolsculpting to cause wrinkles? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi,

As the fat cells are destroyed by cryolipolysis (e.g coolsculpting), some overlying skin laxity/wrinkling may become apparent.

Usually as the skin changes itself over time to adjust to the reduced underlying fat cells, the skin laxity/wrinkling will improve and disappear.

In the event that it persists after 9-12 months and if you wish for additional improvement, unipolar RF e.g. Thermage, or high intensity focused ultrasound e.g. Ultherapy may help tighten the loose skin under the chin and improve the appearance further.

Hope this helps!

What is the best treatment for forehead wrinkles in Singapore? How effective is Botox, and how long does it last for?

Yes, the forehead lines will only get worse over time and it is important to use Botox to weaken those muscles to prevent the lines from becoming permanent ones. Once you start Botox, you just need to go for it every 4-6 months. Alternatively, you can leave it alone and your wrinkles WILL become permanently etched – it’s just a matter of time before it happens. Whether to go for botox treatments depend on how aggressive are you towards reducing wrinkles of expression on your face.

What is the best age for botox to prevent wrinkles?

Hi Isa , there’s no right age to start with Botox. "The right time comes when you notice strong wrinkles forming when you make expressions like raising your eyebrows (forehead lines ), smiling (crow’s feet around the eye corners) , frowning (number 11 lines between your eyebrows) . These lines are dynamic lines – meaning they only form when you express with those muscles . It’s to prevent static lines (lines which are present even when no expression) from forming .
