CoolSculpting Cost for Chin vs. Other Areas

Sometimes stubborn areas of fat remain even if you have been eating well and exercising. CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical option for reducing these stubborn areas using a process called cryolipolysis.¹ The body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells after treatment.

You can use CoolSculping to treat areas such as your chin, upper arms, love handles, and other places where stubborn fat remains despite your best efforts.

CoolSculpting Cost for the Chin

The chin is one of the less expensive areas of the body for CoolSculping because it is a small area. You can generally have your chin done in two visits. The average cost for CoolSculping your chin is around $1,400.² Several factors, covered below, can affect your final price.

How Does CoolSculpting the Chin Compare to Other Parts of the Body?

The cost of CoolSculpting varies depending on the area of the body you want to treat and how many visits it takes to achieve your desired results. You can combine treatments for different body parts into one visit to reduce overall costs.³

If you want to remove fat from your upper arms, the cost is around $700 per treatment. Since you are treating both arms, the overall cost will be about $1,400 for one visit. You can sometimes achieve the results you are looking for in only one visit, making the upper arms around the same cost as two visits for your chin.

It is more expensive to treat your stomach with CoolSculpting, which needs a larger treatment size. You generally will need at least two visits at around $2,800 per session, before any package discounts that may be offered by a practice. Each of the treatments will take between 30 and 60 minutes. You can choose to treat your stomach again after your initial visit if you want to remove more fat. It’s recommended to treat each area twice to achieve the expected results.

The cost of CoolSculpting your thighs will partly depend on whether you are treating your outer or inner thigh, with outer thighs being more expensive. If you treat both legs, your costs could be as high as $4,000 or more.

Does Insurance Cover CoolSculpting?

CoolScupting is a way to make yourself feel better about specific parts of your body. It is not considered a weight loss procedure but a toning one. Since CoolSculpting is an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance companies will not cover the cost.⁴

Factors That Affect the Cost of CoolSculpting

Several factors can influence the cost of your CoolScuplting treatment, including:⁵

• Number of treatments you need
• Size or location of the CoolSculpting areas, as large areas are usually more expensive.
• Your geographic location
• Additional clinic fees
• Doctor’s fees (it costs more if your procedure is done by a board-certified doctor rather than a nurse or spa technician)
• The type of CoolSculting applicator needed for your treatment

The Benefits of CoolSculpting

There are several benefits to CoolScupting that go beyond self-confidence.⁶

• It is noninvasive, unlike plastic surgery procedures. There is no concern about scarring or effects from anesthesia.
• It is relatively pain-free. Patients may report some numbing and discomfort during and after CoolSculpting. Having your chin done may put pressure on your throat during the procedure.
• The procedure is quick. Treatments take between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the treatment area.
• There is no downtime after a CoolSculting procedure. You can resume your regular activities right away and between your treatments.

Who Is a Good Fit for CoolSculpting?

Adults who are close to their ideal body weight and still have skin elasticity are the best candidates for CoolSculpting.⁷ If your skin has lost its elasticity, getting rid of the underlying fat could make the skin looseness more prominent. 

You should also be committed to maintaining your health and wellness after your CoolScupting procedure. You get the most benefits from CoolSculpting if you keep your weight steady after treatments.

Financing Options for CoolSculpting

Your insurance won’t cover CoolScupting, but there are several other ways to pay for your treatments. You should talk to your doctor about any financing options they may have available to break down your costs over time. They may offer discounts or deals if you commit to multiple CoolSculpting sessions.

You also have the option of opening a CareCredit account. CareCredit works like a credit card, but it is specifically for medical procedures, including elective procedures like CoolSculpting.⁸ It can be easier to get a CareCredit account than other cards, and you may get an initial offer for trying the card. Be very careful to pay on time, however, as the interest rate on CareCredit accounts tends to be very high.

Allergan, the company that owns CoolSculping, offers a rewards program called Alle.⁹ After you sign up, you earn points when you get a CoolSculpting or other qualifying treatment. You can earn bonus points, gift cards, and other rewards if your doctor is an Alle provider. You can apply awards toward the cost of your treatment.
