Coolsculpting Vs Liposonix (laser Lipolysis)
Both treatments are noninvasive, although Lipolysis is reportedly much ore painful. I think the mistake a lot of patients are making is assuming that both of these treatments have the same benefits regardless of the area being treated and the amount of fat in that area. It is important to recognize that Coolsculpting is great for treating larger fat deposits. If you can grab a handful of fat, you generally will benefit much more from Coolsculpting. If you can only pinch an inch,...

Zeltiq is much different from laser lipolysis
Think of laser lipolysis (which is rarely done as a stand alone procedure, it is almost always a combination of regular liposuction plus laser lipolysis) as a way of popping fat cells with a tiny hot poker (!). The fat cells release an oily substance that is sucked out with standard liposuction instruments. There are definitely incisions and not uncommonly there is pain and bruising. Numbing injections are used during the procedure to dull the pain. The results are very good....

Laser Lipolysis vs Zeltiq- cool sculpting
The fact that one (Laser Liposuction) is invasive is important as it increases the risk of infection,requires anesthesia, and has side effects not found with Zeltiq cool sculpting including burns. However to achieve the results found with Laser Lipolysis may require multiple treatments.

Laser lipolysis can tighten skin
Indeed, both modalities destroy fat cells by their respective mechanisms. However, laser lipolysis (SmartLipo), if done correctly, can actually tighten the overlying skin by heating the underside of the dermis. The laser cannula is passed just under the skin until the surface temperature reaches 38 - 40 degrees Celsius. I have had much success in the areas of the neck, lower abdomen, upper arms and inner thighs where the skin tends to be looser. Beware of reducing fat in areas...

Laser Liposuction VS Zeltiq = FIRE VS ICE
In the ever increasing battle to separate people from their hard earned money by separating them from SOME of their fat newer methods are sprouting to do away with fat.
LASER LIPOSUCTION differs from other tumescent liposuction methods in how the fat is treated BEFORE it is removed by suction. The fat is COOKED / BURNED with a very hot laser fiber. The heat not only destroys fat but also affects blood vessels, lymphatics and nerves (more permanent numbness) and the overlying...

Zeltiq and Laser Lipolysis completely different
Zeltiq is non invasive, can treat 20-25% of the fat for reduction amd has NO effect on the skin
Laser lipolysis is minimally invasive, can reove as much fat as desired and will work to enhance skin tightening over 90 days. there is more of a recovery ( although) short with Laser.

Laser Lypolysis and Zeltiq are both effective
CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a non-surgical, FDA approved device for permanent fat reduction by using cryolypolysis to freeze localized areas of fat. This mechanism works by damaging the fat cells walls in the treatment area which are later removed through the body's own metabolic process. Unlike laser lipolysis, where a laser fiber is utilized surgically to damage fat cells by either heat or through photo- acoustic damage to cell wall. The damaged fat cells...

Zeltig versus laser lipolysis
Coolsculpting by Zeltig is cryolipolysis and hence does not use a laser to destroy tissue. Thus, the permanent fat reduction that is seen with coolscultping is achieved in a safer manner since no peripheral destruction occurs as would potentially with a laser. The results with coolsculpting are real and reproducible and less variable amongst practitioners. On average a 20% reduction may be seen in fat with one simple safe treatment.

CoolSculpting vs Laser Lipolysis
Thank you for your question. Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for removal. It is a laser-based procedure that breaks up and removes fat cells in areas such as under the chin, neck, and jowls or areas with loose skin such as the arms. It also contracts collagen and tightens the skin. CoolSculpting is a procedure that uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, freezing them to the point of elimination. The...

Coolsculpting versus laser lipo
Coolsculpting is totally non-invasive fat reduction while laser lipo does involve making incisions and actually doing liposuction. The recovery is more involved with laser lipo. Look as some before and after photos of each before making your final decision.
