Can CoolSculpting Be Used Back of Thighs and Inner/outer Thighs?

Certainly, CoolSculpting by Zeltiq, has been FDA cleared for the abdomen  and the flanks and doctors are able to utilize it, off-label, on the outer thighs. Now with the recently acquired CoolFit applicator, which is flat compared with the curved CoolPlus, 6.2,6.3 and 8 applicators, we are looking forward to seeing results on the inner thighs using the CoolFit off-label. There may be side effects or risks that will be more apparent after a time during which many doctors treat many patients with the device for the thigh areas so stay well informed and ask your doctor many questions.

Thank you for your question.

The most common areas for Coolsculpting Treatment are the flanks and abdomen.  This treatment is FDA approved for those areas.  If you were to use it on your thighs, it would be an "off label" use.  Many people choose to have their thighs treated and end up with nice results.  I would recommend that you visit with a doctor who can examine the areas of concern for you and determine if Coolsculpting with help improve those areas.

Best Wishes.
