Can coolsculpting (cool mini) treat fat deposits around the knees?

Yes, the CoolMini
applicator can be used to remove stubborn fat deposits that may
accumulate around the knees. Using the DualSculpting method (i.e. two
machines at the same time), both knees can be treated at once, which
lessens the treatment time. We usually recommend a Z-wave massage
after CoolSculpting to help enhance results and minimize the risk for
bruising. Please contact a board-certified dermatologist who not only
has expertise with CoolSculpting, but has successfully treated knee
fat multiple times.

Hello, 

Thank you for your question. Cool mini can be used around the knees for the right candidate. However you need to consult with a local physician to determine if you have the right type of fat in the area, and if it can be attached correctly to the problem area. Good luck!

CoolSculpting can help treat the fat deposits around the knee. I'd suggest consulting with an expert in the field to discuss the best treatment options, as there are other treatments such as Kybella which are used to treat fat. Kybella is approved for use on submental fat, but off label it can also treat fat around the knee. 

Best, Dr. Emer

Cool Sculpting can be done on the inner knee and works beautifully to remove the bulge in this area. In fact, I have had this done myself! The mini is not used as it is too small, but  two of the standard hand pieces work very well, depending on the shape of the knee.  

Hello and thank you for your question.CoolSculpting Mini applicator is an excellent option for reducing  fat around the knees. I have successfully treated the knee and inner thigh areas with CoolSculpting.  I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board Certified Physician to discuss your options.Best of luck, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

The CoolMini applicator can be used to treat the fat around the knee in appropriate candidates. Please see an experienced provider to determine if the treatment is right for you. Best wishes.

Yes, the cool mini can be placed near the knee depending on the amount of tissue you want improved upon. When you get your assessment just be realistic about the amount of improvement you're seeking. It's a small applicator. In my practice we do that area, just make sure it matches your expectations! Best of Luck. 

Yes, CoolMini can be used to remove fat deposits around the knees and other smaller, hard-to-reach places. Zeltiq has done an excellent job of developing a variety of applicator shapes so that many more areas of the body can be treated with its noninvasive cryolipolysis, which “freezes” away fat cells. CoolMini removes fat permanently, as do the other CoolSculpting applicators. You may require more than one session, as only about 20% to 30% can  be eliminated during a single treatment. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a candidate for CoolMini.

The Cool Mini not only does a sensational job at reducing the fat beneath the chin, but has proven to be very successful with sculpting the small pockets of fat around the knee as well. For years we had CoolSculpting patients asking what we could do for the knee area.  Everyone was very excited when the Cool Mini was introduced.  Now we have helped thousands of patients treat the knee area, and the our clients couldn't be happier.  We have also achieved amazing results treating the small pocket of fat just under the armpit area.   The majority of our clients get both knees treated simultaneously.  We have seven machines, so treating multiple areas is not only fun, but saves a lot of time. This procedure will present you with smooth, natural looking results that are permanent.  

The CoolMini applicator was approved to treat fat under the chin, but can be used to treat other small pockets of fat.  Most common areas outside of the chin are above the knee, on the side of the knee and under the arm bra fat.  

How well people respond to this treatment really depends on technique.  The placement of the applicator is critical.  The reason is that the CoolMini doesn't stay in place with suction alone.  It needs to be secured with separate velcro straps.  These straps can affect the placement and positioning of the applicator and ultimately affects its effectiveness.  

I've found that most people need to be treated twice in a single area to get the results they're looking for.  Some people do ok with a single treatment, but most people have enough fat that they need to be treated twice.
