Does coolsculpting give you a flat stomach? (Photo)

The cost of Coolsculpting depends on how many areas you are having treated. Each area can vary from $600 to $750 dollars. You should speak to your practitioner about how many sessions you will need on each area as well so that you have realistic financial and aesthetic expectations.My best,Sheila Nazarian

CoolSculpting is a great way to achieve the kind of result you're talking about. The best candidates for this treatment are normal-weight men and women with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. This is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a treatment to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet or exercise. If this sounds like your boyfriend, it could very well be the right procedure for him, but the best way to know is to consult with a highly qualified specialist in your area in person.We have seen great results with only a single session, and we've seen amazing results after two sessions. It depends how much fat he would like to see reduced in that area. The love handles and stomach are two separate treatment areas and will likely therefore cost you more. Because of all of these different factors, your best bet is to go for a consultation to get the most accurate information in regards to cost, number of sessions, and number of treatment areas.

Hello and thanks for your question. Ideal candidates can expect about a 20-25% reduction of fat with a single CoolSculpting treatment to a given area. Depending on how aggressive you want to be and how flat you want the belly to get then multiple treatments of CoolSculpting will be required. It may not be possible to get a completely flat stomach if there is a component of visceral fat present. Looking at the pictures, your boyfriend has some stretch marks which are also not amenable to treatment with CoolSculpting. The love handles are a separate treatment area. The best thing to do is go for an in-person consultation with an experienced CoolSculpting provider who can develop an appropriate treatment plan. Hope this helps. 

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell from your photos if you are a good candidate for Coolsculpting. Most patients need a minimum of 2 treatments for the arms to see optimal results. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Based on clinical studies, coolsculpting will eliminate approximately 20% of the fat cells. To provide the level of correction that is normally provided with liposuction, you will generally need 2 treatments of coolsculpting in each area. Most facilities will charge by area and the type of applicator used with the price for coolsculpting varying greatly. The costs for coolsculpting vary across the country with coolsculpting generally being more expensive in areas such as New York or Los Angeles, or in areas with few certified coolsculpting centers. We charge starting at $600 per area with the smaller applicators such as coolcore or coolcurve plus. We charge starting at $1200 per area with the larger applicator. Most centers provide savings for multiple areas. Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons who have certified coolsculpting centers to understand your options. Note: Zeltiq, the manufacturer of coolsculpting, will certify centers only after they demonstrate a high level of training and expertise. Zeltiq's coolsculpting website has a physician locator that provides special distinction for certified centers.
