Are the results similar between CoolAdvantage (35 min) vs the old Coolsculpting applicators (1hr)?

With the new CoolAdvantage applicators the treatment time is 35 mins instead of 60 mins. The shorter duration is possible because the temperature is 1 degree celsius less than the current applicators. The entire applicator provides cooling, instead of only the side panels. This allows more surface area to be cooled and less suction to be applied, making the treatment more comfortable. In the clinical studies done before the applicator's release the results of both applicators were comparable. Hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you for your question! When you use CoolAdvantage you will experience greater comfort due to the newly enhanced and contoured applicator design and require less time for treatment (35 minutes per treated area) as opposed to CoolSculpting, which takes one hour per treated area. The reason a shorter duration is possible with CoolAdvantage is due to the temperature of the applicator being one degree celsius cooler which cuts treatment time in half. The benefits from using CoolAdvantage include, shorter treatment time and less vacuum skin tension, which helps minimize bruising and enhance comfort. The results using both applicators are nearly identical with overall design, function, time and comfort being the main difference. Please see additional information in my video below.

Not only does the
CoolAdvantage applicator treat a larger surface area in nearly half
the time that CoolSculpting did, increasing comfort level by about
45%, comparative studies have shown the result are equivalent. Both
CoolSculpting and CoolAdvantage use a patented technique called
cryolipolysis to disrupt and destroy fat cells by lowering their
temperature enough to cause apoptosis (slow cell death). It takes
about two weeks for the cells to completely destruct and then up to
three to six months for the body to completely eliminate all of the
detritus. At that time, your final results will be visible. With that
said, I believe in some instances, like the upper abdomen
CoolAdvantage, usually fits better and treats more fat. At other
times when the skin is loose and a big roll of fat can be picked up
off the skin, from my clinical experience, I think the original
applicators work best with the suction turned up high.
CoolSculpting is a
very popular procedure because the results are phenomenal if you go
to a center with very experienced physicians and dedicated, skilled
staff. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist with a special
interest in body contouring to find out if CoolSculpting or
CoolAdvantage would help you reshape your contours.

We have found the advantage and mini applicators to be more effective as there is more contact with the cooling portions of the applicator.  

The new application is the same as before just limits the amount of pain and the amount of time needed for the procedure.  Results are essentially the same.  Best, Dr. Emer.
