Coolsculpting: Is there a specific level of suction to obtain a good result?

Question

Because I did mine and I saw the figure was 60 75 60 Anyone please advice

R. Brannon Claytor, MD, FACS · Answer

Great question. These levels are where Zeltiq found the best treatment outcomes. The numbers should not be lower or higher than this setting.

Shareef Jandali, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question. The suction settings are predetermined by the company for the older applicators. The newer applicators, CoolAdvantage no longer offer this option. Best of luck to you.

Robert G. Aycock, MD, FACS · Answer

These are the pre-set settings for the CoolSculpting applicators. It is not recommended to change these numbers.

Melanie L. Petro, MD · Answer

Hi,The machines come pre-programmed so there is no need to increase or decrease the suction.  Zeltiq actually requests that you don't change anything as these are the best setting for everyone. I would make sure that you use a practice that has qualified staff that has been trained by Zeltiq, the makers of coolsculpting.

Those are the appropriate numbers at which to suction.  The office you are going to seem to be using the legacy applicators (the ones that take 1 hour) though, so you may want to find a place that is using the newest applicators to save you some time (the new ones only take 35 minutes).  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the procedure you got based on those numbers.
