If a Person is Obese, Does Coolsculpting Help with Weight Loss?
Is there a BMI requirement in order to use coolsculpting? Is this primarily used for final shaping after a person has already lost a good deal of weight?

CoolSculpting not a weight loss treatment
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment or program. CoolSculpting treats fatty areas that do not respond to diet and exercies. A patient can expect to lose 20 - 23% fat in the treated area after one treatment. This is not a replacement for surgery or a diet.

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is not indicated for fat reduction in obesity
As there is only 20% reduction of fat in the average CoolSculpting Zeltiq treatment, it would not provide any appreciable improvement in shape or weight reduction. The CoolSculpting treatment is only indicated for certain areas of the body and wouldn't cause a generalized fat reduction.

Coolsculpting and Weight Loss
Thank you for the question.
No, cool sculpting will not help with weight loss. Similar to liposuction surgery, although less effective, cool sculpting is meant to treat diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue.
Best wishes.

Coolsculpting isn't for weight loss
Greetings~
Great question. Coolsculpting isn't meant for weight loss. Coolsculpting is ideal for people who are stable in their weight and close to their ideal and want to address stubborn pockets and isolated areas of fat. Certain problem areas like the abdomen, love handles, back and bra fat can be nicely treated and improve appearance dramatically in some cases but even then there is not a significant amount of change on the scale.
