CoolSculpting or Lipo for upper arms? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It is best to evaluate you in person to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. However, based from your photos it looks like you would benefit from treatment. Most patients need a minimum of 2 treatments for the arms to see optimal results. Please make sure you see and expert physician. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question! Due to the amount of subcutaneous fat in the arm area, along with some skin laxity, I think liposuction is a better option for you. You can expect a much stronger treatment with liposuction, you will get fat reduction along with some moderate skin tightening. When you do liposuction in the arm you can treat 70% of the arm’s circumference, whereas with CoolSculpt it is closer to about 40% since generally the CoolSculpt applicators are recommended for the posterior arm and posterior lateral arm. I believe liposuction will end up giving you a better result.
