What Is SculpSure Submental?
SculpSure Submental is an FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that uses targeted 1060nm laser energy to permanently reduce stubborn fat beneath the chin. Cleared by the FDA in September 2017, it is the first heat-based treatment designed specifically for submental fat reduction, delivering heating energy that destroys fat cells and contours the under-chin area without needles, suction, or downtime.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every SculpSure Submental session is performed with meticulous attention to applicator placement. The specialized submental applicator is positioned beneath the chin, delivering controlled laser energy that heats fat cells to therapeutic temperatures while integrated cooling keeps the skin comfortable. The treated fat cells undergo apoptosis and are naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks.
How SculpSure Submental Works
The SculpSure Submental treatment follows a quick, comfortable protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your submental fullness and chin profile to determine the optimal applicator placement
- The specialized submental applicator is positioned beneath the chin, no needles, no suction, no anesthesia required
- Targeted 1060nm laser energy heats fat cells to therapeutic temperatures while integrated cooling keeps the skin comfortable
- Destroyed fat cells undergo apoptosis and are naturally processed and eliminated by your body over the following weeks
- Results appear within 6-12 weeks: most patients achieve optimal chin definition in 1-3 sessions
Who Benefits from SculpSure Submental?
Mild Double Chin
Early submental fullness that softens the jawline despite being at or near your ideal weight. SculpSure Submental can reduce this mild fat deposit for a cleaner, more defined chin-to-neck transition.
Moderate Submental Fullness
Noticeable under-chin fat that creates a rounded appearance from the side. Multiple SculpSure sessions progressively reduce the fat layer, revealing a more sculpted jawline and profile without injections or surgery.
Genetic Chin Fullness
Hereditary submental fat that persists regardless of diet and exercise. If double chin runs in your family, SculpSure offers a non-invasive way to permanently reduce these genetically stubborn fat cells.
Aging-Related Chin Fat
Submental fat that accumulates with age due to metabolic changes and reduced collagen. SculpSure not only eliminates fat cells but the heat energy also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin tone in the area.
Needle-Averse Patients
Patients who want chin fat reduction but prefer to avoid injectable treatments. SculpSure is completely non-invasive, no needles, no suction, no swelling, making it ideal for patients who want effective results without the discomfort of injections.
Downtime-Free Treatment
Busy professionals and active individuals who cannot afford recovery time. SculpSure Submental has zero downtime: return to work and all activities immediately with only temporary applicator marks that fade in 5-10 minutes.
SculpSure Submental Advantages
SculpSure Submental offers distinct advantages over other non-invasive chin treatments:
Heat-Based Fat Elimination
Unlike freezing or injectable treatments, SculpSure uses targeted 1060nm laser energy to heat and permanently destroy under-chin fat cells. The heat energy also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin tone and tightness in the treated area, a dual benefit that other chin treatments do not provide.
No Needles, No Suction
SculpSure Submental is completely non-invasive with no needles and no vacuum suction. The flat applicator sits comfortably against the skin, delivering laser energy through the surface. This means no swelling, no bruising, and no recovery, just temporary applicator marks that fade within 5-10 minutes.
25-Minute Treatment
Each SculpSure Submental session takes just 25 minutes, significantly faster than freezing-based alternatives (50+ minutes) and with fewer total sessions needed compared to injectable options (which often require 2-6 treatments). Most patients achieve their desired chin definition in 1-3 comfortable sessions.

SculpSure Submental frequently asked questions
What is SculpSure Submental?
SculpSure Submental is the first FDA-cleared non-invasive heat-based treatment designed specifically for under-chin fat reduction. Cleared by the FDA in September 2017, it uses targeted 1060nm laser energy to permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin without needles, suction, or downtime. The heat energy also stimulates collagen production for potential skin tightening benefits.
How is SculpSure Submental different from injectable chin treatments?
SculpSure Submental is completely non-invasive, no needles are involved. Injectable treatments require multiple injection points and often cause significant swelling for days to weeks. SculpSure uses laser energy delivered through a flat applicator, resulting in zero swelling, no bruising, and no downtime. Only temporary applicator marks fade within 5-10 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve their desired chin definition in 1-3 sessions. The number depends on your degree of submental fullness and desired results. Some patients see significant improvement after a single 25-minute session, while others benefit from additional treatments spaced 6-12 weeks apart for maximum reduction.
Does SculpSure Submental hurt?
The treatment is very comfortable. Most patients feel a mild warmth and tingling sensation beneath the chin during the 25-minute session. The integrated cooling system maintains skin comfort throughout. No anesthesia, numbing cream, or pain medication is needed. Most patients relax or check their phones during treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Absolutely none. You can return to work and all activities immediately after your session. The only visible effect is temporary applicator marks that fade within 5-10 minutes. There is no swelling, no bruising, and no recovery period, a significant advantage over freezing-based and injectable chin treatments.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually as your body processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Initial improvement typically appears within 6 weeks, with optimal results at approximately 12 weeks post-treatment. The gradual onset means your chin definition improves naturally without an obvious “I had something done” appearance.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. SculpSure permanently destroys fat cells through laser-induced apoptosis: once eliminated, those cells cannot regenerate. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to preserve your results.
How does SculpSure compare to freezing-based chin treatments?
SculpSure Submental takes 25 minutes per session (vs. 50+ minutes for freezing), requires fewer sessions (1-3 vs. 2-3), and has zero downtime (vs. potential swelling and bruising with freezing). SculpSure also provides an additional benefit of collagen stimulation from the heat energy, which can improve skin tone in the treated area.
Does SculpSure tighten skin under the chin?
The heat energy delivered during SculpSure treatment stimulates collagen formation in the treated area, which can improve skin tone and tightness over time. While the primary purpose is fat reduction, this collagen-stimulating benefit is a valuable bonus that other non-invasive chin fat treatments do not provide.
Who is not a good candidate for SculpSure Submental?
SculpSure Submental is best for patients with mild to moderate submental fat who are at or near their ideal weight. It may not be ideal for patients with significant skin laxity (sagging), very large amounts of submental fat, or those who are pregnant. During your consultation, Dr. Avaliani will assess whether SculpSure Submental is the right option for your goals.
