What are your opinions on the results of CoolSculpting versus Liposonix?

Hello and thanks for your question.

While both treatments give an adequate result, Coolsculpting has a 20% higher approval rating and is considered the gold standard by many. 
The CoolSculpting treatment is ideal for those at a stable weight with small to moderate areas of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure also offers a quick, effective and affordable treatment option with minimal associated discomfort and downtime for those seeking non-invasive alternatives to surgery.
All the best,Dr. Murray from Absolute Cosmetic Medicine.

Thank you for your question. Both liposonix and coolsculpting will work to reduce fat, however they work using different modalities. Coolsculpting is using cold and Liposonix is using ultrasound via heat for fat reduction. I feel that a consult with a licensed professional is the way to go to see which treat is best suited for you and your desired outcome.

Thank you for your question. The treatment for you would depend on your current body and your goals. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. This way, you can explain your concerns, learn more about the procedure, and determine if you are a candidate. Regards, 

Dear MelbourneMama:Congrats on such a great BMI!  Non-Surgical Body Fat reduction is based on the transfer of energy across the skin into the fat to selectively destroy or fatally alter fat cells. These energy devices since the creation of them some 20 years ago have been mostly disappointing. Their down fall is that they: hurt too much or injure the skin to accomplish their goals or they do not deliver the energy required due to the patient's inability to tolerate the pain.The energy's used are:laser ie focused light waves (eg. Sculpsure)ultrasound ie focused sound waves (eg. Liposonix)radio-frequency (eg. ThermiSMOOTH)direct heatcooling (eg. CoolSculpting)Other than CoolSculpting, the others depend on heat. CoolSculpting is tried and true. It cools the fat to a non-frozen temperature that it selectively turns off the cells ability to function and dies (apoptosis). Other than Zerona, a laser device which as fallen from use, the injured cells from the above die and do not come back. That is not to say that ALL the cells die so those remaining and those distant from the machines "reach" remain active and able to absorb redistributed calories to become bigger. Cost is an issue due to the expense to purchase these machines, the on-going costs of supplies, maintenance and training of personnel. Good luck in your quest to find the "perfect" option for yourself. I wish you the best. 

Dear MelbourneMama,Thank you for your question. Both CoolSculpting and Liposonix are effective at selective fat reduction in an intended treatment area. Both result in permanent fat removal but accomplish this via different modalities; CoolSculpting using cold (freezing) whereas Liposonix uses heat via focused ultrasound waves. The best way for you to know which is best for you is to seek consultation with a professional who is adept at fat reduction procedures (invasive and non-invasive) to gain greater understanding of which would be a better fit for you and your desired outcome. This is best accomplished with an actual examination/discussion and not with pictures or descriptions.
