no matter how the technology changes, freezing the ankle may have risks of circulation. There is not much fat in a thick ankle so as there is risk of circulation problems when liposuction is done on ankles, there also would be some risk with freezing. I am not replying with an absolute "no" as I am not an engineer and one never knows what those bright people in R & D may invent.
At this time, Coolsculpting is not FDA approved for use on the ankles. You may wish to consider Exilis Ultra treatments that will reduce fat and tighten skin using a hand-held device that does not rely on an applicator. Thanks for your question and good luck.
Coolsculpting does not currently has FDA approval for ankles. The company is continuously expanding its treatment options, but nothing has been mentioned by the company to date.
For now, an area like the ankles isn't treatable in the foreseeable future for exactly the reason you mention with the cooling panels/plates.

A laser from Yolo does not freeze fat. Freezing is proven to kill a percent of the treated fat cells. External laser sources have been manufactured to reduce the fat volume, often by generating heat which can liquify the fat but I am not convinced this causes permanent reduction in the fat cells...
It is possible for a lump to appear in the treatment area several weeks after your procedure. It could be inflammation that will gradually dissipate or, as your doctor said, it could be fat. It is best to allow some time to determine whether the lump will resolve on its own. If it's still an...
You sound like a perfect candidate for CoolSculpting because you are small and, at 100 lbs, your fatty deposits are probably not too big. CoolSculpting should give you a beautiful slimming result. I have not ever seen CoolSculpting cause sagging, in fact just the opposite. It often actually t...
I have had great experience performing tumescent liposuction in my NYC cosmetic dermatologic surgical practice and have an appreciation for the contour results and amount of fat that can be reduced by liposuction. This has helped me gain a great appreciation for what CoolSculpting offers my...
