The theoretical advantage of CoolSculpting over Zerona is the permanent destruction of fat cells that is obtained by freezing the adipocytes in Zeltiq whereas the Zerona light makes the fat cells release their fat content without destroying the cells so they are able to retain as much fat as before. Long term studies have not been done comparing both procedures but one would think there would be longer term results with the CoolSculpting for the reasons mentioned above. see video

Both Zerona and Zeltiq are noninvasive (non-surgical) treatments to help reduce unwanted subcutaneous fat. Both treatments have undergone scientific clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of their respective treatments. In Zerona treatments light energy from cool temperature lasers are utilized in a photochemical process to stimulate the fat cells under the skin surface to to release their contained fat, causing the fat cells to shrink. With Zeltiq the problem... more
