I had CoolSculpting - each side of waist was a 30 min. session. Is this standard? I see some did an hour.

With the new applicators, treatment time was decreased to 35 minutes. Keep in mind, for best results, a combination approach 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

Older CoolSculpting machines used to take about an hour per treatment area. If your doctor was using the new CoolAdvantage, treatment time is only 35 minutes for most areas of the body. At our center, we also offer DualSculpting. This allows us to treat two areas of the body at once, which halves your treatment time. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has the most up-to-date CoolSculpting applications and is certified by Zeltiq as a CoolSculpting expert. 

Thank you for your question, and congratulations on your CoolSculpting treatment! There are a few different types of CoolSculpting applicators that vary in size and treatment time. With the newer CoolAdvantage applicators, treatment time for each area is thirty-five minutes, however if you are using the larger applicator, treatment time increases to forty-five minutes per treatment area. The older style applicators run between forty-five minutes to one hour for one treatment area. The best results, per CoolSculpting experts, come from using the Legacy applicators which have a sixty minute treatment time. If you have any further questions regarding your CoolSculpting treatment I recommend reaching out to your CoolSculpting provider. Best of luck!
