Can CoolSculpting Be Used On Inner Thighs?
Can this treatment be used successfully on the inner thighs? I need to gain weight, but when I do my upper inner thighs rub together and it is so annoying! Thanks for any response!

CoolSculpting off-label treatment of inner thigh fat reduction
Off-label use of CoolSculpting has been done for inner thighs. The older curved applicators were difficult to fit but the new flat CoolFit helps the doctor apply the applicator to this area. Be aware that this is an area with liposuction that can leave indentations and sagging more than other areas. The CoolSculpting treatment by Zeltiq does not prevent this from happening. Discuss the risks with your doctor prior to undergoing the treatment.
The information provided in Dr. Shelton's...

CoolSculpting for Inner Thighs
Currently, CoolSculpting is developing smaller handpieces that will likely be more appropriate for smaller areas such as inner thighs, upper arms, knees and under the chin.
An office with two CoolSculpting units can perform fat reduction of both thighs at once. Find the CoolSculpting physician in your area that you'd like to see and ask them to keep you updated about new and smaller attachments

CoolSculpting for inner thighs
Thank you for your question.
Yes, for some patients, Coolsculpting is an option for the inner thighs. Because each patient is different, it would be best to be examined by a doctor to determine if you have enough in the inner thigh area for the handpiece to suction on and work.
If you are treated for the inner thighs, this would be an "off label" treatment as this machine has not been FDA approved for treatment of the inner thighs (even though many patients have had very nice...

Coolsculpting for the thighs
Yes, Coolsculpting is often used on both the inner and outer thighs. You will need to consult with your physician, though, to determine if you have enough tissue on your thighs, to fit inside the Coolsculpting applicator. In my experience, there usually needs to be approximately 2 inches of fatty tissue for the correct size applicator to comfortably grab onto, so that the desired results can be achieved. The fit of the Coolsculpting chamber, on your excess tissue, will...

Coolsculpting may be used on inner thighs in properly selected patients though all patients must understand risks in these areas and be informed that this is a off label non fda approved use of Coolsculpting.

Coolsculpting for Inner Thighs?
Hi,
We have counseled and treated a large amount of patients for inner thigh fat. The key to a great result is a good assessment of whether or not the area to be treated can fit the applicator. If all sides of the applicator do not touch skin, you cannot create suction to draw the fat in and do a treatment. Last week, Zeltiq the manufacturer just released a new applicator called the CoolCurve which works for smaller areas. As always, we counsel patients that...

CoolSculpting for Inner Thighs
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for the flanks (love handles) and abdomen and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment. I would speak with a board-certified doctor to determine whether CoolSculpting could be effective on your inner thighs. Best of luck.

Tumescent liposuction is very effective for inner thighs.
Hi.
As you can see, different opinions. We have not seen great results with CoolSculpting and we don't want disappointed patients.

Coolsculpting for inner thighs
We've treated many women on their inner thighs with great results. The limiting factor is if the tissue is of adequate volume/size and lax enough or pliable enough to fit into the applicator. If the tissue fits in the applicator adequately then you should see a reduction in fat in that area. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate is to have a consultation with a practice that does Coolsculpting.
Good luck~

CoolSculpting for inner thighs
I have treated a number of patients in this area. The answer to the question is that it depends. There has to be enough laxity of the skin that the fat can be pulled up inside the CoolSculpting applicator. In addition, Zeltiq, the manufacturer of the CoolSculpting device, just released a new applicator, called the CoolCurve +, The advantage is that it has a more curved contour which should allow up to treat more patients with bulges in areas such as the inner thigh...

CoolSculpting on Inner Thighs
We have actually treated a couple of patients on their inner thighs, it's very tricky because the applicators aren't shaped to fit that area. I would recommend finding a physician that has actually treated that area.
