Which Coolsculpting machine is best?

Greetings~ The term Coolsculpting is used only for the device manufactured by Zeltiq and freezes select areas of fat to help contour the body. There are many body contouring devices out on the market but no other that utilizes this technology and none that we have found are as effective for localized areas of fat. If it is specific areas of fat that are of concern to you and after a physical examination you are deemed a good candidate, then Zeltiq Coolsculpting is great way to... more

Are There Different Coolsculpting Machines?

Hi, There is only one FDA Coolsculpting Machine made by Zeltiq Aesthetics. The only difference in the treatments is the size of the applicator used with the Coolsculpting Machine. There is a small, medium, and large applicator. The difference in the applicators is because different applicators fit the desired area better than others. This also determines the cost since the large applicator is about twice the price of the small/medium applicators. However,... more

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

Zeltiq is the only company that has produced CoolSculpting. There is no other FDA-cleared fat freezing technology. The company may be eventually adding to the three currently-available applicators to allow physicians to treat different shaped sites. see video

Are there different CoolSculpting machines?

There is only one CoolSculpting machine. It is manufactured and distributed by a company called Zeltiq. There are other non-invasive fat reduction procedures which work on a different technology. Physicians providing CoolSculpting treatments have at their disposal three different applicators. The choice of the applicator will be dictated by the size and the contour of the bulge you wish to have treated. This will be chosen at the time of your consultation once you have been... more

There is only one device that does CoolSculpting

Zeltiq's device is the only device that uses "Coolsculpting" (freezing fat) to reduce fat bulges. There are other devices that use radio frequency or laser light to reduce fat. The difference between these devices, besides the method of reduction, is that Coolsculptng by Zeltiq actually removes fat cells, as liposuction does (although not to the same degree and noninvasively, while Zerona, Velasmooth, Triactive and Endemology temporarily reduce fat by squeezing the fat... more

Coolsculpting machines

Coolsculpting by Zeltiq does use 3 different handpieces. 2 are smaller, with slightly different sizes which may fit certain patients and areas better, and 1 larger head for the abdomen which treats twice the area. The larger abdomen head is not for everybody. It works best on a softer abdomen do to its narrow and long shape, and some patients do better with 2 cycles of the smaller heads (left and right abdomen) rather than the larger one to the entire abdomen. I recommend... more
