Hello. I had a consult for CoolSculpting. I would like clarification on the arms. Do the arms require 2 applicators or one per arm?
Answer: How many applicators for CoolSculpting on the arms? Two applicators is the standard for treating the arms on most people, though one applicator is a possibility if you are very petite. You are also likely to get a more even result with two applicators. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Do arms need 1 or 2 applicators with CoolSculpting? The size of an area to be treated with CoolSculpting can vary by patient. There are also different sized applicators that can be used on the arms. If using the petite applicator, which is smaller, it is possible that 2 applicators would be needed per side. If using the CoolAdvantage applicator, I think it would be unusual to need 2 applicators to treat one arm.

Answer: CoolSculpting on the arms Hello there ckaluczk. It is really difficult to say for sure what your arms would require in terms of Coolsculpting treatments without a photo. Having said that, at Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi, most of our arm treatments use a single applicator in a treatment session. If the patients arm is sizeable enough to require more than one applicator at a time, we might steer that patient toward a different treatment. Here is some more information on Coolsculpting.

Answer: Coolsculpting to Arms Hi and thank you for your question! We have seen AMAZING results in treating the arms with coolsculpting! We assess each patient to decide how many cycles per arm, ideally its assessed in person, so we can palpate the tissue to evaluate where the subcutaneous tissue is concentrated, and also use the template for sizing to finalize treatment plan. Sometimes with photos we can give you an idea of what treatment plan will likely be. We usually recommend at least two treatment sessions, but some patients may want to consider a 3rd. Ideally about 6-8 weeks in between treatments, but it can safely be retreated in 4 weeks. Last bit of important info, we have seen (and studies have shown) that when patients use a body treatment from Alastin Skincare called Transform Body Cream, in between treatments, starting right after the first session and possibly even better to start a week or two before, they are seeing accelerated and enhanced results, as well as improvements in texture, skin laxity and crepiness! I without a doubt encourage patients to use this product, especially in an area such as the arms, where skin tightening could be of extra benefit! Best of Luck! Dr. Grant Stevens
