I read that the handpieces are too large to be used on cheeks and smaller handpieces might be developed in the future in the QA section 3 years ago. So are there smaller handpieces available for cheek fat at this time? If not, would you please recommend a non-surgical procedure to reduce cheek fat conservatively. Thanks!

Answer: Coolsculpting not safe for, or approved for facial use Hi there-While Coolsculpting is a great tool and I have a great deal of confidence in its safety and effectiveness for reducing unwanted subcutaneous fat, I always tell my own patients that it is important to also be mindful of its limitations. There is no safe and effective way to use the Coolsculpting technology on the facial soft tissues at the present time.

Answer: Can CoolSculpting hand piece be used on cheeks now? Thank you for your question. No, there is no CoolSculpting hand piece that would work for facial fat. We use a radio frequency treatment called Exilis Elite to help eliminate facial fat and tone the skin. This is an office procedure that typically takes about 2-3 treatments spaced about 1-2 weeks apart. It takes a few weeks to several months to realize the full result. You want to be careful about removing too much facial fat. A big concern with facial aging is due to loss of facial fat! That is why so many doctors offer facial fillers and fat injections to help restore a more youthful look to the face. That said, too much fullness of the face and neck can be improved with Exilis Elite. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.
