What to do if the Coolsculpting 35 minute applicator became unsuctioned.

Thank you for your question. In rare instances, patients undergoing the CoolSculpting procedure can experience a “pop-off” where an applicator is released too soon. Thankfully, there is a therapeutic window in which the treatment is still effective if this occurs. With the new CoolAdvantage applicators (35 minute cycles), treatment time needs to be at least 30 minutes to be effective. If your treatment time was less than 30 minutes, you should have the opportunity to be retreated at no cost. Consult your CoolSculpting provider regarding scheduling your retreatment. Good luck!

Thanks for your question. the treatment does require the full 35 minutes, with 9 minutes left, you did not receive the full treatment and should follow up with your provider to discuss your re-treatment and any other concerns you may have.Regards,

A full treatment
with the CoolAdvantage applicator is 30 mins of continuous contact/cooling. The
applicator that came off with 9 mins left did not get a full treatment and the
one that popped off with only 4 mins left did receive a full treatment
according to CoolSculpt guidelines. Make sure to follow-up with your provider
in a month to see about retreatment in the area that did not get the full 30
minutes. 

At this point, it's too early to tell what your final results will be. For best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination.  I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. In our practice, we use a Fire and Ice treatment of Coolsculpting with Vanquish and are getting great results. VASER with ThermiRF are a great alternative. Best, Dr. Emer

 I advise you to contact your provider and discuss it with her/him. #0 minutes treatment should deliver desired results, while it has been shorter than that, you may want to repeat the treatment. Good luck!
