CoolSculpting Applicator Size Difference?

Different practices may use different protocols for the application of the CoolSculpting. In my practice, either I or another physician, sees the patient in consultation and if they are determined to be a candidate for the procedure, templates are used to see which applicator fits the desired area of treatment, the best.  If an applicator is too loose, then suction will not be maintained. If using the smallest, an opportunity of fitting more tissue into the medium applicator might be missed. Often, the smallest applicator is the only one that fits the area.

Typically, the Coolcore (the smaller suction applicator) and Coolmax (the larger suction applicator) are most often used for the abdomen. If there is an insufficient amount of pinchable fat, then coolsmooth applicator which does not utilize suction can be used. Typically, the templates for coolcore and coolmax are used in the examination process unless the area is clearly too small or too large for a particular applicator.
