Differences in Coolsculpting Machines?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Recently CoolSculpting released their new CoolAdvantage. This system allows for more of the area to be treated, in less time, and with less discomfort. If you are looking around it would be best to find a practice that is offering this new technology. They should offer you a full body consult to determine the most effective treatment. Good luck!

The CoolSculpting procedure can involve several different applicators. As the applicators are designed for specific areas on the body, one applicator may be better than another depending on the area you might want to treat. Recently, Zeltiq has introduced a new CoolSculpting applicator called the CoolAdvantage applicator. One cycle with the CoolAdvantage applicator is only 35 minutes. This means that patients can complete their treatment with CoolSculpting in almost half the time. Patients who seek a provider with multiple machines can shorten their treatment time even further as they can utilize two applicators at one time. For patients interested in CoolSculpting, it is important to research the provider and ensure he or she has attended CoolSculpting University and received the proper training. Patients should seek out an office where treatments are supervised by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck in your research!

Hi,Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for the right patient. There are different applicators that are used on different area. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.Zeltiq usually sets the base price,
however, prices range from clinic to clinic. You can visit zeltiq website
