How many CoolSculpting treatments do you think I’ll need? Fat above the knees (Photos)

Question

Hello! I’m wondering how many CoolSulpting treatments you think I will need to address fat above my knees. I’m 5’8” and 130lbs - thin and very athletic. I had one CoolSculpting treatment on each knee a week ago with the CoolMini and I’m wondering if anyone can tell me from experience how many treatments they think I will need to really slim down this area. It’s so hard to find answers for this part of the body!

You would need an in-person consultation and evaluation to determine how many CoolSculpting treatments would be needed to give you optimal results. In general, most people need at least 2 treatments to the knees. We combine CoolSculpting with other treatments to give optimal results. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician provider. Best wishes.

Hello, Thank you for your question and pictures. Unfortunately it is very difficult to evaluate considering you just had a treatment done last week. You likely have some swelling in the area. The legs can take a bit longer to see full results. 3-4 months can 2-3. Since you are in good shape and live an athletic lifestyle that may encourage a very successful treatment. It is best to wait the full   4 months before deciding on whether or not you need another treatment. One may be enough, and you don’t want to overtreat! Good luck!

Hi,Thank you for your question and sharing your photos.It's difficult to give an exact answer without examining you in person but it appears that most of the volume is at the medial (inside) part of the knees. 1 cool mini cycle per knee will give a good result but you likely will need a second round of treatment in 2-3 months to get the most superior results. You can always wait the full 3 months and re-evaluate at that time to determine whether the volume reduction is satisfactory. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your question. It is always best to do an evaluation in person, but from the photos alone, it would appear that you would get great results from 3 treatments. The thing about the Cool mini applicator is that it is smaller and pulls in less tissue. So, it typically needs to be used three times for optimal results when treating a bulge of that size. I am hoping that your CoolSculpting provider is able to discuss this issue with you and give you answers a well. Good luck with everything.

The quickest, most noticeable, and most cost-effective way to attain the knees you want would be to undergo medial knee liposuction.  This will only need to be done once and can be done under local anesthesia.  It is slightly more invasive than cool sculpting, but will be much more noticeably effective.  I mentioned the aspect of cost-effectiveness because cool sculpting will require a number of visits that will eventually cost you more than just having the medial knee liposuction with the risk of not having the results you anticipated.  Should you decide to proceed with CoolSculpting, you will need about 2 to 3 cycles.

Since you just had a treatment, it's hard to know if you have any swelling. But, I would estimate 2-3 treatments on each knee should provide significant improvement. Give it plenty of time between the treatments (at least a couple of months, if you're not combining the Coolsculpting with Zwave treatments,) for optimal results! You're thin - and, you should respond well!

Coolsculpting can decrease fat by 25% each time and then ultrasonic fat reduction and also squatting exercising with Bosu ball.
