Question about CoolSculpting on arms. Lot of hanging skin, not crepey but hanging. Will it work there? Have used wts for yrs.

SculpSure is superior to CoolSculpting, according to clinical studies where SculpSure beats CoolSculpting in head-to-head studies. Leveraging the same laser technology as SmartLipo, SculpSure is the only laser proven to melt fat with no surgery, as approved by the FDA. Sculpsure melts 25% of your unwanted subcutaneous fat through 25-minute in-office treatments whereby the patient experiences no pain nor recovery time in waiting 6-12 weeks for the results.I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon
because the board certified credential ensures you receive the highest
quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. A consultation provides
you the opportunity to relay your concerns and desired outcome to the surgeon
while the surgeon can assess your health profile and discuss his/her pertinent
advice.

Thanks for your question. CoolSculpting is designed to kill fat not to tighten skin. If your main issue is hanging skin and crepey skin CoolSculpting may not be the correct treatment for you. I would advise a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate. Best wishes. 

CoolSculpting can achieve great results for fat volume in the arms if you are the ideal canidate. If the skin is very lax or crepey you may need to consider a skin tightening treatment like Pelleve. The best way to find out if you are a candidate would be to schedule a in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Best of luck!

I appreciate your question.Coolsculpting can tighten the skin a bit if you have good skin quality.If the issue is loose skin it might not be the best modality for you.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Coolsculpting is a fat reduction treatment that relies on the innate elasticity of a patient's own skin in the treated area. You have little or no residual elasticity (by your description) and if the skin "hangs" you also have little fat remaining to be addressed by Coolsculpting. Coolsculpting has no place in your described scenario.You need skin removal, as no exercise or treatment exists that has replaced plastic surgical excision of loose skin, regardless of location on the body.Botox can help reduce platysmal bands, but will NOT tighten loose skin--you need a facelift/necklift for that.Any ABPS-certified plastic surgeon worth his or her salt should tell you that! Go see one or two and get information applicable to your own specific anatomy, goals, and concerns! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
