Does CoolSculpting or Vaser Shape have better/longer lasting results?

Question

Assuming a healthy exercise and diet plan is followed? I've had Coolsculpting done and was happy, but I am interested in the cellulite reduction and skin tightening that Vaser Shape seems to provide. Thanks for clarifying the difference in benefit!

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a fat reduction and noninvasive treatment. Vaser Shape doesn't reduce cellulite but it helps make it a smoother appearance. It is best to consult with a  Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for best treatment plan. I hope this helps!

Both cold and heat can reduce fat cells.  However, only heat helps to stimulate collagen production, which leads to skin tightening over the area.  Therefore, I prefer the heat based Vaser Shape for body contouring.  While the Vaser Shape should give you some size reduction and skin tightening, it may or may not reduce cellulite.  Cellulite is very difficult to effectively treat, especially if you are wanting long-term results.

The
Coolsculpting technology is a safe and effective procedure that uses advanced
cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in
specific areas of a patient’s body.

If you are
interested in cellulite reduction and skin tightening then Coolsculpting is not
the best option for you. In my office I like to use Thermage for skin
tightening and depending on the amount of cellulite you have a Thermage
treatment can also help improve the appearance of cellulite. It is best to be
evaluated by a Board Certified Dermatologist to see which technology would be
best for your concerns.
