Bella Contour, Zerona, CoolSculpting, Liposonix: which is better?

I agree it is very confusing now that there are even more ways to lessen abdominal fat than the ones listed without laser liposuction, regular liposuction or abdominal plasty. These include Bella Contour, Zerona, CoolSculpting, as well as, Liposonix which was just FDA approved in December 2011. Many doctors speak about these devices without having personal experience. We have had good experience with all four (4) of these devices which we use in the proper setting with the... more

Zeltiq CoolSculpting, Zerona, Liposuction?

There are many options out there. Many are effective - for the right candidate. others are not effective at all. I understand people who are not interested in surgery. But, always be careful about practices that offer lots of "gadgets" without offering surgery. It appears that you could possible be a good candidate for CoolSculpting. But, without a consultation it is impossible to know. CoolSculpting is great for bumps and bulges around the abdomen. But, it will not be effective... more

CoolSculpting to Reduce Abdominal Fat

Thank you for your question. Based on the information you shared, I believe CoolSculpting would be your best option. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Of course, your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. Best of luck!

Zeltiq Coolsculpting works, the others are not so great

Coolsculpting is currently the best noninvasive treatment for body contouring. The other devices have not demonstrated results which are comparable. The difference is that Coolsculpting freezes the cells which damages their membranes. This causes the cells to rupture and be eliminated. Other devices only claim to enhance fat transport out of cells.

Zeltiq works great for fat "pockets"

We have had excellent results in our practice using Zeltiq CoolSculpting for localized "pockets" of fat in the flanks, abdomen or back. Before deciding on which is best, you should be evaluated by an experienced physician in these treatments. The one issue with Zeltiq is that not everyone is a candidate for the procedure.

First choice for fat removal is Coolsculpting

I have both machines Zeltiq and Exilis and still prefer to offer Coolsculpting as my first choice to reduce fat bulges.

Abdominal fat reduction- non-invasive

At this time Bellacontour nor Zerona have independent clinical trials demonstrating long term results. Zeltiq does have several clinical trials demonstrating fat reduction in abdomen as well as other anatomical locations. Regardless, best to first be evaluated by a physician well skilled in body contouring to determine which treatment best suits your goals

Forget Zerona, Cool Sculpting can work great for guys, if you are the right fit

First of all, as to Zerona, how come no one asks the question, "How many inchs will I loose after finishing Zerona two months later, not just two weeks, Oh, and lets leave out all the extra water, exercise, and supplements?", our answer, none of our patients that we treated with Zerona saw a difference, thats none, if they were exercising, drinking extra ounces of water each day and all of that before Zerona. So lets move on. Cool Sculpting works, and our... more

CoolSculpting is the best non-invasive procedure to date

Although I would probably recommend a combination of ultrasonic and suction lipectomy as the procedure of choice for your abdomen and waist, CoolSculpting would be the non-invasive procedure of choice if surgery is completely out of the question. The actual destruction of fat cells with CoolSculpting will provide long term contour improvement.

Which non-invasive procedure is best?

Thank you for your question. I only recommend Coolsculpting (Zeltiq) to my patients because it has been FDA cleared and shown to work when others haven't really been shown to be so effective. It may be in your best interest to meet with a doctor to discuss all of your options. Best Wishes! see video
