Multiple treatments on the same day

Yes, multiple areas can be treated with CoolSculpting on the same day - either one area ( =1 hour) at a time, or if the office has multiple machines, it can be done simultaneously.

CoolSculpting Multiple areas treated at once?

In offices with 2 CoolSculpting machines it is possible to treat both love handles or flanks at once. Patients prefer this as there is double the result in the same amount of time. This also makes treatment for affordable for the patient because physicians can provide a reduced price on a second area being treated. After all, if a doctor can perform double the amount of treatments in a day it allows the practice the opportunity to share a reduced fee with patients. We are... more

Multiple Treatment Areas with Coolsculpting

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting of those areas could be performed on the same day but not simultaneously (at the same time). Most offices will treat one area at a time and therefore it will take 3 hours for your treatment (1 hour per area treated). Visit with a doctor close to you to discuss further.

Flanks and Abdomen treatment with Coolsculpting

Treatment of different areas can be done on the same visit but not at the same time. So, treatment of the abdoment would be one hour and then treatment of each flank will be an additional one hour for each flank. Total treatment time would be 3 hours. You cannot treat all hours at one time.

CoolSculpting more than one area at the same time impractical

There are likely few clinics that have more than one CoolSculpting system. That might be the biggest hurdle for you. From a logistics point of view, you have to angle your body somewhat to get the firm suction on your flanks, so likely that would make a simultaneous treatment elsewhere difficult if not impossible. If you moved, one applicator could easily become dislodged and that would require the use of a new "card" with extra costs. Each area only takes one hour, so a good... more

CoolSculpting can treat multiple areas

I would not advise to perform cool sculpting on two areas at the same time. It might overwhelm the patient. However, we frequently perform the treatment on both the abdomen and flanks sequentially. Most patients find it quite easy to do. Each application takes approximately 1 hour. So for both flanks and the abdomen it would require approximately 3 hours. Our patients have been very happy with the results. Good luck.

Can CoolSculpting be performed on more than one area at a time?

It is possible to perform CoolSculpting on more than one area at a time but it require the use of more than one CoolSculpting device. The more common way we treat multiple areas during the same visit is to attach the applicator to one area and when the treatment of this area is done we would then move the applicator to the next one.
