Do you do the fatty knees area, and if so, what does it cost?

The Coolsculpt mini is
here and can be used for double-chin, elbow and knee fat elimination. The cost is $750
per session and it takes one hour.
Hope
that helps!

CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool. Knees can be a challenge with any modality. CoolSculpting had been used in this area with good results. See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate. Cost will depend on the number of cycles needed.

The fatty area of the knees is not an area that the FDA has approved for coolsculpting. The efficacy of this area has been debated, and we will not do this area with coolsculpting. Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.

CoolSculpting is FDA approved for treating the abdomen, flank and thigh. It is important to have a face-to-face consultation with the provider in order to determine if CoolSculpting would be an appropriate treatment for you. Zeltiq has released five different applicators. Each applicator is uniquely designed to fit multiple areas on the body allowing providers to create customized treatment plans to meet the individual needs of their patients. The health care provider will visually assess the fat in order to determine if the person needs debulking or sculpting. The physician will physically assess the orientation of the fat by pinching and feeling it. Then the provider will select the appropriate applicator(s) for the determined areas. There is a 20-25% fat reduction in the treated areas. Patients are usually brought back at the 30 days mark to assess their results. At the point, the patient and physician can communicate and determine if additional treatment might be needed for optimum result.The cost for CoolSculpting is based on a point system. The
points are based on how many areas you may need treated in order to receive a
treatment to transformation. The more points you
have, the lower the price per point will be. However, it is hard to determine how
many areas you may need without seeing you in person. Therefore, I highly
recommend booking a face to face consultation.
