Q: How long do results last? A: Fat cells destroyed don't return. Skin tightening lasts 6-12 months with maintenance.
Q: Is InMode better than CoolSculpting for double chin? A: InMode FX is often preferred for face due to smaller applicator and skin tightening benefit. CoolSculpting better for larger body areas.
