Yes Coolsculpting is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges on the inner and outer thighs as long as you are a candidate for this procedure.

Typically depending how many treatments are necessary it cost's about $750 a cycle. However several cycles are usually required depending on the area(s) of treatment to receive the desired result.

Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting procedure gradually die off and leave the body through the body’s natural elimination process. That’s why the results are long-term. The fat is gone for good! Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.

The CoolSculpting® procedure is a non-invasive procedure that is intended to change the appearance of the treatment area by delivering controlled cooling to target and destroy fat cells at the surface of the skin to break down fat cells that are just beneath the skin. . The treated fat cells are crystalized (frozen) body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells which are gone for good. Results can be seen as early as 3 weeks but the optimal results are seen in between 1-3 months.  

CoolSculpting is an effective FDA-Cleared treatment for the excess fat above the knees, the inner and outer thighs, and abdomen/flanks as well. Each area requires a different applicator to ensure the best results. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to destroy the subcutaneous fat cells and to sculpt the body.  It is best to have a consultation with a certified CoolSculpting specialist to see if you are a good candidate for this non-invasive procedure.
