Trying to decide on using the 1 max applicator on my tummy buldge versus two treatments with the smaller ones, overlapping treatment areas around the belly button area.
Answer: Coolsculpting Applicators This totally depends on the patient, the amount of fat, fat distribution and the peaks of the fat pads. The provider should be doing a detailed assessment on you the day of the treatment, marking you with the sizing tools, and deciding which one is best for treatment one. Sometimes this treatment plan may change on treatment two. We usually recommend 6-8 weeks between treatments for this reason so we can see some changes from the prior treatment and gauge more effectively to next best plan. Good luck! Jennifer Tinelli, NP-C

Answer: Difference Between Applicators The Cool Max and the regular applicators are not interchangeable as they are used to treat specific bulges of fat based on orientation and location of the fat bulge. Often times, client's have 2 peaks of fat beneath their belly button, one slightly to the right and the other slightly to the left. For body types like these, we typically treat the client with 2 regular applicators to ensure that we are aligning the peak of the fat bulge with the center of the applicator for best results. There are also instances wherein the peak of the fat bulge is truly centered beneath the belly button and then we would most likely use the Max applicator. This is not as common as the latter treatment plan. With all that said, it is the job of your Coolsculpting technician to properly assess your body to find the most appropriate treatment plan as no body is created equally.
