Coolsculpting can be appropriate for men and women of any age- over the age of 18. We have patients over the age of 65 who try Coolsculpting at our practice.
Coolsculpting or other body contouring procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery can all be done for the right candidate after the age 65. I would ensure that you are in good health and the areas of concern can be adequately treated by Coolsculpting or other body contouring procedures. I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your region who is also an experience coolsculpting provider for an informed consultation.
Thanks for your question. Coolsculpting is a an excellent option for women and men in their sixties. Coolsculpting has minimal downtime and is much easier to recover from than traditional liposuction . You should have a consultation with a Coolsculpting specialist to have a "pinch test" of the fatty area to deem if you are good candidate for the procedure. Best wishes.
Coolsculptingis an excellent therapeutic option for treating localized fat collections inpatients who are older than sixty five. Under these circumstances the procedureoffers significant advantages over traditional liposuction and other moreaggressive procedures. Although,the results may not be as dramatic as traditional liposuction, there’s lesspain, fewer complications and shorter recoveries. In an aging population, theseare all significant advantages. The physiology of coolsculpting is not affectedby the patient’s age. Older patients respond to treatment in a manner that’ssimilar to younger patients. Inthis group of older patients who may have other health issues, contraindications to surgery, or fear of surgery, coolsculpting may represent anideal solution to their problems. Consultationwith a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate if you’re older andconsidering this procedure. This surgeon should be able to help you determinewhether coolsculpting is a viable option for you.
Even after the age of 65, Coolsculpting can produce great results. As long as you're a good candidate for the procedure, you can get long lasting results with minimal pain and no downtime.
There is much less concern about loss of elasticity and retraction of skin after CoolSculpting compared with liposuciton. Bruising might be worse from more fragile skin and the device shouldn't be done on areas that demonstrate skin fragility (usually sun-exposed arms, chest and legs) and usually CoolSculpting is not done on those sites.
not all 65+ year old abdomens are created equally! just as the 25 year old abdomen comes in many shapes and sizes, a proper evaluation is necessary to examine your skin tone and how much of the laxity in your abdomen comes from loose muscle, extra skin, or the fatty layer. the beauty of coolsculpting is that the cold treatment does not affect the skin or muscle in a negative way, but only the fatty layer. see a provider to see what shape your abdomen is to start with and how much improvement you can expect.
CoolSculpting is a wonderful fat-reducing technique for older patients as it is completely noninvasive, requires no downtime, and tends to have minimal side effects. Some of my patients over 60 actually have a greater reduction in fat per session than the younger ones do. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist and find out more about how to get rid of stubborn fat with CoolSculpting.
Cool sculpting is for people of all ages although younger people will probably respond faster and with less skin laxity in the area they have treated.

Treatment times can range from 35 minutes to 75 minutes depending on the type of cycle used. The number of treatments needed will vary depending on the area of body being treated and the amount of stubborn fat that is targeted. Typically we suggest a minimum of two sessions.
CoolSculpting is FDA approved to help permanently reduce stubborn fat that does not go away with diet and exercise alone. It is not FDA approved to help with skin laxity though we have had patients who see an improvement in the tone of their skin after the procedure. If you continue to lose fat,...
I offer both CoolSculpting and tumescent liposculpture in my office. CoolSculpting is a noninvasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells. Since fat freezes at a higher temperature than other cells in the body, the fat is targeted during the process while surrounding skin...
