CoolSculpting Device

Thank you for your question. There is only one company FDA-cleared to perform this procedure - Zeltiq. There are not different machines or brands that perform CoolSculpting.

Effective Cool Sculpting Devices?

Cool sculpting (Zeltiq) is not as effective as liposuction surgery in removal of adipose tissue.

Do not expect the same result as surgery; that won't occur. it is... more

There are NO fat freezing devices that can give results anywhere close to what liposuction can give.

As the devices get better over the next 5 yrs hopefully they will get better results but so far they are mainly used to take down 1/2 inch or so of fat or give minimal results if you have only a tiny spot you would like reduced. None of the various devices for fat reduction give anything comparable to the great results from tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia with the micro cannulas.
