Is it okay to do CoolSculpting AND ultrasonic cavitation?

Question

regardless of how much I diet and exercise, my lower abdomen never budged below 32 inches. I want to get the Coolsculpting procedure to elimate some fat cells, and a few ultrasonic cavitatios to help the remaining stubborn fat cells release the fat it seems to think necessary to cling onto. Should there be a gap period between procedures? Will the Cooled fats be melted by cavitation? Thank you

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.

My best,

Typically Coolsculpting&trade; which is a
non-surgical noninvasive surgical option is performed with no down time.
 Ultrasonic cavitation is typically performed in conjunction with
liposuction.  Liposuction is a surgical procedure.  Generally, I would
not perform Coolsculpting&trade; and liposuction with or without Ultrasonic
cavitation.  To date, I do not
believe there is any data to support that ultrasonic cavitation will enhance
the efficacy of fat reduction with Coolsculpting&trade;.
