Women over 65 benefit from CoolSculpting

Thank you for your question; a very important one. In my experience, women over 65 have had excellent fat layer reduction with CoolSculpting. Two points that I may point from my own practice experience: 1. I have seen some of the best responses in women over 65. Some women may have had close to a 40% fat layer reduction after one single Zeltiq procedure. 2. I have been pleasantly surprised to see that somewhat pendulous abdomens in women over 65 have 'bounced back' and lifted after... more

Coolsculpting is ideal for someone over age 65

Because Zeltiq is painless and non-surgical it is an ideal treatment for patients who are older. Unlike liposuction which is an invasive surgical treatment, my older patients have been very happy with Zeltiq since it is effective and doesn't have these same risks. see video

Unlike liposuction, elderly age is not an issue for fat loss with CoolSculpting

There is much less concern about loss of elasticity and retraction of skin after CoolSculpting compared with liposuciton. Bruising might be worse from more fragile skin and the device shouldn't be done on areas that demonstrate skin fragility (usually sun-exposed arms, chest and legs) and usually CoolSculpting is not done on those sites. see video

CoolSculpting for Women over 65

Thank you for your question. When considering CoolSculpting, age would not be a reason to rule someone out in regards to getting this treatment. We have had very nice results for older patients. Best to be examined by the doctor to get the most precise advice. Best Wishes! see video

Your age is not an issue

Age is not an issue when considering Coolsculpting. As long as you are a good candidate for the procedure you should see a nice result. Please be sure to have a consultation with your physician or his office staff to ensure you are a candidate prior to committing to the procedure.

Depends on you

Not all 65+ year old abdomens are created equally! just as the 25 year old abdomen comes in many shapes and sizes, a proper evaluation is necessary to examine your skin tone and how much of the laxity in your abdomen comes from loose muscle, extra skin, or the fatty layer. the beauty of coolsculpting is that the cold treatment does not affect the skin or muscle in a negative way, but only the fatty layer. see a provider to see what shape your abdomen is to start with and... more

Zeltiq Coolsculpting age limitations

Coolsculpting is approved for all ages above 18. What determines if you are a good candidate is body weight and extent and severity of the fat pad. I would encourage a consultation to determine if you would be a go candidate.

Coolsculpting over 65.

Hi, I agree completely with Dr. Stevens! Coolscultping is for any person with the areas suitable for the treatment applicator. I think it is very important to have your physician assess your body to see first if you are a good candidate and second which applicators best fit your body and how many treatments you would need! Best, Dr. Liu

Coolsculpting is a great option for all ages

There is no age limit for CoolSculpting. It is a safe procedure that does not require any anesthesia or downtime. I recommend you find a CoolSculpting provider and have a consultation to determine if you would be a good candidate. Good Luck! :)

Coolsculpting is excellent for active seniors

Coolsculpting is an excellent choice for active seniors that are not more than 20% overweight. It is a safe noninvasive procedure to remove localized fat bulges. It will not improve skin laxity.

Coolsculpting can be used for any age group

There is no age which is ideal for the Coolsculpting.  Over 65 is not a contraindication.  Results should be similar.  The chances of skin laxity are probably increased becaue of decreased skin elasticity but clinically that hasn't been seen.
