Is it true that Vanquish only diminishes the size of fat cells while CoolSculpting kills them?

August 10, 2017
Asked By:katbaragwanath in Calabasas, CA

I am deciding between Vanquish and CoolSculpting. I purchased Vanquish but when I got to Doctor's office she said that Vanquish doesn't actually kill the fat cells, so results are less long term than with CoolSculpting. The CoolSculpting is more expensive (given the number of applications) so I wanted to know if this is true.
