Absolutely, we often recommend combining multiple treatments to get better results as many treatments focus on different issues. For collagen, you'll want to consider a radiofrequency or ultrasound treatment to the face, ablative lasers such as erbium are great for small crinkles and sun damage and then IPL decreases remaining sun spots and diminishes redness. Also, many treatments require a series for best results so find a place that offers package pricing.

You may get different opinions from different providers of coolsculpting. The measured area of pinchable fat determines the number of applicators and number of treatments for the best result. It is certainly not unusual to use two applicators to treat one flank area. But, it depends on your body shape. Four or six is common for abdomen and one or two is common for a bra bulge.

Yes, you can have coolsculpting if you have gallstones and fatty liver disease. But, it will not address those issues. It will only reduce outer, pinchable fat. Your fatty liver issue must be managed with a change in diet.
