Does CoolSculpting help with cellulite? (Photos)

Question

I am age 22 and I have severe cellulite on my back thighs. How much does coolsculpting help with cellulite? I'm pretty active I workout 5/7 days and it seems impossible to get rid of. I struggling with saddlebags so I will be getting coolsculpting done and hoping it will help with my cellulite. Has this been successful before?

Mburton74  Thank you for your question and photographs.  Unfortunately Coolsculpting is not the correct procedure to treat cellulite. Cellulite is caused by superficial fat caught in fivers within the skin; coolsculpting treas deeper fat.  Cellulaze is a great long term treatment.  Venus Viva and other  rf devices can temporarily improve cellulite.

CoolSculpting can be a great way to eliminate stubborn fat. However, it is not the correct treatment to address cellulite. Cellfina™ is an FDA-approved cellulite-reduction treatment that works by addressing the root cause of dimpling. During a Cellfina treatment, the fibrous bands that cause the uneven appearance associated with cellulite are carefully cut and released. To help you determine whether Cellfina is the best course of action for you, book a consultation with a Cellfina Technician at a reputable plastic surgery practice.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately CoolSculpting does not address Cellulite. You may want to look into a treatment like Cellfina for that. Good luck!

Unfortunately Cool Sculpting does not help with Cellulite. It is FDA cleared for saddlebags in a certain presentation which I can't tell from your photos. If what you desire is truly cellulite improvement this is not the right procedure. Best of Luck

A combination approach for Cellulite is needed to get the most improvement. The best treatment for cellulite is Cellfina. I recommend Cellfina in combination with Sculptra or renuva, and body treatments like Exilis Ultra/Venus Legacy, Cellutone/z wave. A VASER HI DEF procedure can be done for more contouring. See an expert for a formal evaluation. There is no cure but you can get good improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your message! CoolSculpting is a great option to help with stubborn pockets of fat that do not go away with diet and exercise alone. It may help a bit with cellulite but it is typically not the best treatment for cellulite, which can be difficult to get rid of. I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment!

Kent V. Hasen, MD · Answer

While CoolSculpting is an excellent treatment for targeting areas of excess fat, it does not address cellulite or textural issues in the skin.  Our patients see nice results with Cellfina or Morpheus8 to address textural concerns.  Cellfina is best for discrete dimples or puckers of the buttocks, while the Morpheus is more effective on linear areas of dimpling.  I would suggest a consultation with an experienced provider who can determine what treatment modality will best fit your treatment goals.

Unfortunately Coolsculpting is not designed to treat cellulite.  We have Cellutone and Exilis to treat cellulite.  Cellutone reduces cellulite on the abs, back, arms and legs.  Exilis tightens skin and reduces fat on the face and body.  Both are noninvasive with no down time.  Thanks for your question and good luck.
