Zeltiq is not designed for cellulite
Zeltiq is designed for discrete areas of fat. It works very well for the areas that it was intended, primarily the abdomen and flanks. There is no reliable treatment yet for cellulite reduction. Coolsculpting was designed for "problem areas" in patients who diet and exercise and are at a good personal weight.

LPG For Cellulite
Zeltiq does not work for cellulite. There are other non-surgical options that work quite well for cellulite though. We use LPG or Endermologie, a non-surgical cellulite reduction method that uses suction and traction to help smooth the skin. The session lasts 35 minutes and the entire body is treated. It feels like a deep massage, a mechanical head with 2 rollers is attached to a powerful suction device and a trained technician glides the head over the area to be...

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq and Cellulite
CoolSculpting is not a treatment for cellulite. It is best to use one of the cellulite specific devices, like SmoothShapes, which offers two specific laser wavelengths, suction and massage to provide an improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite does not have a cure, and no device is 100% effective. Devices like the SmoothShapes may offer a nice improvement, but we always advise patients that due to the ongoing hormonal and biologic mechanism for cellulite, future treatments will...

Zeltiq is not a cure for Cellulite
Coolsculpting by Zeltiq is not a cure for Cellulite - there is no definitive procedure out there that permanently gets rid of Cellulite. Coolsculpting is to reduce stubborn bulges of fat. Theoretically, if fat is reduced in a particular area - cellulite might be improved. We have been able to get the small and medium handpieces onto the inner, outer and posterior thighs on many patients who have had great results in regards to volume reduction.

CoolSculpting not recommended for cellulite
Zeltiq is not indicated for cellulite reduction, but for fat removal. By "lysing," or destroying fat cells, it can contour areas of the body and reduce areas of stubborn fat. Devices like Thermage [Solta] and VelaShape [Syneron] are more highly recommended in treating cellulite. Your habits make you an excellent candidate, so far, though a detailed consultation and history is always needed if you elect to pursue any of these procedures.

Coolsculpting (Zeltiq) does not reduce Cellulite
Unfortunately Coolsculpting does not reduce cellulite. The only FDA approved surgical treatment for Cellulite reduction is Cellulaze. With a three step process, while you are awake and through a small incision I can reduce the cellulite by treating the little fat bulges, the septae that pull down the skin creating a mattress appearance and the skin that has lost its strength. Very fit and trim women have cellulite. You can find a Plastic Surgeon who performs Cellulaze on the Cynosure.com website

CoolSculpting Not For Cellulite
CoolSculpting is used to remove fat cells from localized areas such as the abdomen, hips, inner thighs, and arms. Cellulaze is a newer technology that will actually breakdown the underlying structures causing cellulite. I would recommend this technology for cellulite, and coolsculpting for patients who want volume reduction.

Can CoolSculpting help with cellulite?
The answer is no. You see fat reduction but unfortunately there is no skin tightening or cellulite reduction provided. You could however get Cellulaze. We have seen such dramatic results with Cellulaze. It is minimally invasive and short downtime.

Cellulaze Best for Cellulite Reduction
Cellulaze is the only minimally invasive laser procedure designed to attack the structure of cellulite beneath your skin. It delivers longer-lasting results after only one short treatment. Cellulaze is backed by many years of clinical research. Studies have shown it increases the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29%—significant claims that haven't been made by any other treatments. Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the skin surface to...

CoolSculpting is not a treatment for Cellulite
Hello and thank you for asking this question. Again, our office staff hears this question so often and it's an excellent topic to answer on RealSelf.com. CoolSculpting is without a doubt, a fantastic option for non-surgical fat reduction, but in no way is improving the appearance of cellulite. Unfortunately, there is not a fat reduction treatment, surgical or non-surgical, that we would ever want to promote as treatment for cellulite.
You asked this question some time ago, but have...

In a word, no.
Zeltiq really operates by freezing fat cells. Cellulite is a function of fibrous septi that cause dimpling. Zeltiq does not affect this.

Zeltiq is not a treatment for cellulite
CoolSculpting is a great treatment for fat reduction but may improve, not change or even make cellulite look worse in rare individuals, although the latter has not been seen by me but that is the suggestion when discussing liposuction and it should be mentioned to be thorough. Zeltiq is not a treatment for cellulite but if you get improvement then it's considered a bonus. It would not be expected to be long term, though as there is no cure for cellulite.

Zeltiq Coolsculpting not effective for cellulite
Zeltiq is not a good treatment for cellulite because it's so limited in its area of treatment. A better treatment for cellulite would be Liposonix or UltraShape because they target large surface areas. Liposonix and UltraShape both use high-intensity focused ultrasound (nonsurgical liposuction) to permanently destroy fat but only Liposonix is currently FDA approved to melt fat in the U.S. (received FDA approval received Nov 2011). Clinical trials with Liposonix have...

Cellulite Reduction
Thank you for your question.
Coolsculpting is used for reducing fat in the areas treated. Some may say that the cellulite in those areas may also be "reduced" but this is not what this machine is used for.
Visit with a physician and after an examination, they can recommend the best option for your situation.

Zeltiq - not intended to treat cellulite
Zeltiq is not intended to treat cellulite. However in many cases the cellulite appears to be lessened. I have not seen any studies to date measuring this effect and this is not the FDA indication. Coolsculpting is the term used for how Zeltiq reduces stubborn areas of fat.

Cellulite solutions: CoolSculpting vs Thermage
Cellulite requires extra special treatment. It is many things, and in your case your weight is probably not a part. CoolSculpting is great for sculpting, or spot reduction of fat, probably not applicable to you. You would be wise to consider and regimen of Thermage (one treatment to tighten and firm), Triactive (weekly treatments tapering to monthly to massage and firm), daily masage in the shower (Glytone Lipolift system works well to increase circulation and mobilize...

Cool sculpting/ Zeltiq for cellulite
At this time Zeltiq is for localized pockets of fat and not cellulite.
Cellulite as we best understand it at this time, is from weakened fibers that hold our fat cells in our skin. When these fibers are weak, they cannot hold onto the fat cells as wel allowing them to poke through to our skin surface giving that lumpy appearance. We also know that local inflammation and vascular hanges contribute to cellulite.

Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq and Cellulite
Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq is not an effective treatment for Cellulite. There is only one FDA approved treatment for cellulite which is Velashape. An alternative treatment is called Mesotherapy but this is a non-FDA approved treatment for cellulite. If you're interested in reducing cellulite, you should come in to a reputable medical office for a consultation and learn more about your options but again, Zeltiq is not an effective treatment for cellulite but we've...

No device removes cellulite, but Zeltiq can reduce its appearance
No device removes cellulite, but Zeltiq can reduce its appearance, as can liposuction. Since cellulite is actually caused by fibrous bands under the skin which create pockets of fat (like a quilted mattress), and removing the fat does not remove the bands, all fat removal treatments do not remove the cellulite. But just like taking stuffing out of a mattress makes the mattress look smoother, Zeltiq and liposuction can reduce the appearance of cellulite by...

Zeltiq not the best treatment for cellulite
Zeltiq does reduce the thickness of the subcutaneous fatty layer but does not have a significant effect on cellulite. Although there is no perfect treatment for cellulite Thermage may offer some improvement of skin surface contour.

No, Zeltiq does not work for cellulite
Zeltiq is a great device for very focal regions of fatty deposits on the belly, love handles and back rolls. The Zeltiq procedure will not treat cellulite (nothing in the non-invasive market will) and the Zeltiq head cannot be applied to the back of the thigh anyway. You best bet for thigh skin laxity and smoothing the appearance of cellulite is liposuctionn with a thigh lift of some sort.

Zeltiq experience is limited with cellulite
With this new technology, the primary focus is fat reduction. Right now it is not promoted for cellulite reduction. It may improve it, but that's not it's intention. My guess is that in the future, Zeltiq in combo with Thermage or other radiofrequency device will be the answer for cellulite.
