What Is the CoolMini?
Stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to budge with diet and exercise can be frustrating — especially the small, hard-to-target areas like beneath the chin. If you’ve been searching for a non-surgical way to slim and sculpt these trouble spots, the CoolMini may be exactly what you’re looking for. At Dr. Fugo Plastic Surgery, patients across New York and the Hudson Valley are discovering how this specialized applicator delivers noticeable, natural-looking results with no needles, no incisions, and no downtime.
The CoolMini is a compact applicator designed to treat smaller, more delicate pockets of fat that larger devices simply can’t reach comfortably. It uses the same clinically proven technology as its full-size counterparts — controlled cooling, known as cryolipolysis — but in a size and shape built for precision. That makes it ideal for areas like the space under the chin, the sides of the neck, the knees, the underarms, and the "bra bulge" along the back.
Because fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than the surrounding skin, nerves, and tissue, the CoolMini can target and cool fat to the point where those cells are damaged and gradually eliminated by the body — all without harming anything around them. The result is a more contoured, refined appearance in areas that are notoriously resistant to traditional weight loss efforts.
How Does CoolMini Treatment Work?
The science behind the CoolMini is straightforward. During your session, the applicator is placed over the targeted area, where it delivers precisely controlled cooling to the fat beneath the skin. Over the following weeks and months, your body naturally processes and flushes out the treated fat cells through its normal metabolic pathways.
Here’s what makes the process so appealing: once those fat cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good. While remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, maintaining a stable lifestyle helps preserve your results long term. Most patients begin to see changes within a few weeks, with the most dramatic improvements typically appearing around the two-to-three-month mark.
What to Expect During Your CoolMini Session
One of the biggest advantages of the CoolMini is how convenient and comfortable it is. A typical treatment takes about 45 minutes per area, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or a gap in your schedule.
- Consultation: We begin by evaluating your target area and discussing your goals to confirm the CoolMini is right for you.
- Application: The applicator is positioned and secured over the treatment area, and the cooling begins.
- Sensation: You may feel intense cold and a pulling or tugging sensation at first, which usually fades within a few minutes as the area becomes numb.
- Relax: During the session, most patients read, check email, or simply rest.
- Massage: After the applicator is removed, we briefly massage the area to help break down the treated fat cells and enhance results.
Because it’s completely non-invasive, there’s no recovery period. You can return to work, exercise, and your normal routine immediately after leaving our office.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The CoolMini is best suited for healthy adults who are at or near their ideal weight but struggle with small, localized pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s important to understand that this is a body-contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution. The ideal candidate isn’t looking to lose significant weight but rather to refine and sculpt a specific area.
During your consultation at our New York and Hudson Valley practice, Dr. Fugo and our team will assess whether the CoolMini aligns with your goals or whether another approach might serve you better. This honest, individualized guidance is central to how we care for every patient.

This varies by individual and by the area being treated. Some patients achieve their desired outcome after a single session, while others benefit from a series of treatments. We’ll recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.
