With CoolAdvantage what areas are considered 1 treatment? What about the 45min treatment?

Question

Is CoolAdvantage using the longest attachment (45 min treatment) considered 1 treatment area? Is it more expensive because the area is larger? If the longer attachment fits would that be more beneficial than 2 of the smaller/35min treatments? Just curious as I might want to use the longer treatment. Thank you.

The most important goal with CoolSculpting is to make sure the entire area with the unwanted fat is included in the applicator or applicators.  If this can be done with one of the larger CoolAdvantage applicators, I would do this versus using 2 of the smaller applicators.  For some people, the larger applicator is too big and will not fit the person's body.  In this instance, either 1 or 2 of the smaller applicators can be used.  Using the larger applicator will also shorten the complete treatment time, as the larger one is 45 minutes.  If 2 of the smaller ones were used, the treatment time would be 70 minutes (35 minutes for each side).

Hello, Thank you for your question. Most practices consider the “CoolAdvantage Plus” (the larger 45min applicator) as 2 cycles because it is twice the size of the smaller ones. Many may choose to opt for this instead of the two smaller options, but ultimately this should be decided in person with your physician. This will ensure that you get the most effective treatment. Good luck!

The CoolAdvantage Plus applicator treats 2.5 times more tissue than the standard CoolAdvantage applicator, therefore it is twice the price. The CoolAdvantage Plus is considered to be a "de-bulking" applicator and works great for patients who need to remove greater volume of fat on the abdomen.

Actually most of the treatments are 35 minutes with the newer applicators. The size and shape of the applicator depends on the area you want treated since the applicator has to fit the contour of your body.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This will depend on the area you want treated and your body type. Keep in mind, for best results, a combination approach with other non-invasive treatments is needed and some people need more than one treatment with Coolsculpting. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
