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. Thepoints are based on how many areas you may need treated in order to receive atreatment to transformation. The more points youhave, the lower the price per point will be. However, it is hard to determine howmany areas you may need without seeing you in person. Therefore, I highlyrecommend booking a face to face consultation.
