CoolSculpting Applicator Size Difference?

Yes, there are different applicator sizes and the way the correct applicator is chosen is by seeing which one would "fit" properly around the area to be treated.  Sometimes if a large applicator is placed improperly, the results may be worse.  If they achieved a good suction / fit of the applicator, you are probably going to see some results.   Best Wishes!

 

Thanks for your question.The smaller applicators are used for "sculpting" rather than "debulking" so it sounds like you had the proper applicator for your size. Enjoy your results. 

Hi, your question is not uncommon. CoolSculpting is a relatively new technology and there are some significant differences between the applicators. CoolSculpting now offers four applicators. Three of the applicators usually fall in the same group and price range. These are the CoolFit, CoolCurve+, and CoolCore. Each has a slightly different cup style which allows the doctor to target more specific areas. The CoolCurve+ works great on flanks, whereas the CoolFit or CoolCore might be better choices for the stomach. It depends on your body. Your doctor should be able to show you the different applicators and explain why one might be better than another.

The larger applicator is called the CoolMax. It can treat approximately 2.5 times the area of the smaller applicators and is usually priced 1.5 to 2 times more than the smaller applicator. It offers great results and is actually more economical than the smaller applicators if you are a candidate for it......but not everyone is a candidate, and if you don't draw correctly in the large applicator you will be wasting your money. Talk to your doctor and see what he or she suggests. We use Zeltiq's new Treat to Transformation (T2T) in our practice and are seeing great results with multiple treatments. Best of luck.
