CoolSculpting Vs. Liposonix. Which One is Better For Small Areas of Fat?

Liposonix uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) which specifically targets a layer of fat about a half inch thick and a half inch deep, while coolsculpting (Zeltiq) is more of a bulk reduction of fat where it can be piched between the treatment paddles. Both are efective but I believe that Liposonix is more precise. The treatment takes about an hour to do but the reduction in fat takes several weeks to appear, which is also the same with Zeltiq because both destroy fat cells and the body then re-absorbs the tissue over time.

Thank you for your question, VeggieGirl. SculpSure is the best option for reducing areas of fat in spot treatments. SculpSure can vanquish up to 25% of your unwanted subcutaneous stubborn fat in a 25-minute in-office treatment where the patient then resumes their normal activities. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

The Liposonix device does cause pain during treatment. There is one treatment that in its one hour can cause fat loss over the months after treatment. It does not mean that one inch or a garment size might be obtained in one hour,  nor can one guarantee such a result. The treatment takes one hour but the result can be significant and it can take time, months, to see the result.  CoolSculpting may hurt for the first few minutes, but most patients feel comfortable during the treatment until the removal. 20 % reduction of fat may be seen at four months after its one hour treatment.  CoolSculpting is limited by the applicators that fit the region to be treated.  In the next several months, there may be a new applicator that will allow the doctors to treat more widespread areas, which until now has been a limiting factor with CoolSculpting. They are both good treatments, and some patients can benefit from both.
