CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool. CoolSculpting now has an applicator for thighs. CoolSculpting had been used in this area with good results. See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. They will be able to tell you of the different options, (CoolSculpting, Liposuction, Direct excision, etc.).
The lower extremtity region including the inner thigh area are popular area to use coolsculpting. The treatment may be focussed on these regions and the results work well. Patients are typically satified with coolsculpting performed in this region.
Yes - coolsculpting does work on the inner thighs. It is often done in one treatment, however can be done in to treatments dependent on the amount of fat in the area. In addition, you may dual sculpt both inner thighs if you can tolerate the position and are flexible to fit two applicators in that area.
Thank you for the question. The short answer is yes Coolsculpting is FDA approved for treatment of the inner thighs and it can be quite effective if you are a good candidate. The dimension of the inner thigh fat must be such that it fits to the shape of the Coolsculpting applicator. This is the biggest limitation for treating the inner thighs with Coolsculpting. In order to determine this it is important to seek out an expert Coolsculpting practice and have a consultation/examination to assess your particular situation. Hope that helps.Best,Dr. Flashner
Cool Sculpting is a great non-invasive technique toeliminate stubborn fat. Generally speaking, our patients see a 20-25%reduction in fat per round of treatment. Depending on how much fat youneed to reduce in the area, a second round of treatment may be necessary. The procedure is quite comfortable and there is no downtime required! Best wishes
Great question! CoolSculpting does have an applicator that is effective for treating the inner thighs. However, because the hand piece is a set size, not all patients with inner thigh fat will be candidates. It is necessary to have a consultation done with an experienced provider to make sure the applicator fits your unique anatomy, to make sure your results will be satisfactory.
Hello West Jordan, Yes, Coolsculpting is effective on inner thighs.Coolsculpting provides a 25% reduction in fat no matter which area of the bodyis treated. There are limitations with the applicator for inner thightreatments. Improper placement of the applicator or using the incorrectapplicator can lead to an indentation or concavity. Thisis why it is important to go to an experienced provider to have yourCoolsculpting treatment done. Best of luck, Dr. Thomas E. Kaniff
Hello,Thank you for your question. Yes CoolSculpting can reduce fat in the inner thighs. It is very important that you see an experienced doctor for this treatment, because hand piece choice and placement are crucial to a successful treatment. The legs can take a bit longer to see results, expect 3-4 months
CoolSculpting is FDA approved to treat inner and outer thigh areas for fat reduction/contouring. To achieve the desired results, the CoolSculpting applicator needs to be able grab enough skin/fat tissue. A consultation would be required to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the treatment.
Hello and Thank-you for your question.CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks. It can be used safely for off-label treatment of the upper arms, inner/outer thighs, bra-strap area,axillary breasts, chin, and above the knees. oolsculpting relies on Cryolipolysis due to the fact that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than are other tissues. We utilize the new Cool Advantage applicators which are much more comfortable and reduce treatment time to 35 minutes. We currently have 4 Coolsculpting machines and can offer "Dual Sculpting" which further reduces the treatment time. The advanced cooling technology selectively targets and eliminates fat cells gently and gradually without affecting the surrounding tissue. Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it generally takes more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. A second treatment is general scheduled 30 to 45 days after the initial treatment. It takes about 2-3 months to get a general idea of the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon well versed in all options for body contouring to determine if you an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting. Best wishes
Unlike liposuction which is invasive and can cause dimpling or contour deformities, Coolscuplting by Zeltiq freezes the fat in a specific area and does not have those side effects. Because the fat and the skin surrounding it shrinks uniformly you have none of those potential side effects.
Clinical studies have shown that cryolipolysis (coolsculpting) does not cause changes in blood lipid levels (cholesterol.) This question was a common concern when CoolSculpting was first seeking fda clearance. One prominent coolsculpting study, “Cryolipolysis for Fat Reduction and Body C...
Thank you for your question. The number you are referring to indicates how much tissue is taken into the chamber. This number is generally between 50-70. The higher the number doesn't necessarily mean a better result.. sometimes we are treating a more difficult area and the suction...
