Can a licensed esthetician perform the CoolSculpting procedure

I encourage all potential patients to ask who
will be performing their treatments. A licensed aesthetician who has completed
training to use the CoolSculpting machine and applicators can perform the
treatment when supervised by a physician. Unfortunately, the nature of that
supervision can vary. At my practice, I'm very involved in the treatment of all
new patients and ensure that all procedures are performed safely and
effectively.

It depends on the state regulations in the state. I would not recommend seeing a licensed esthetician unless this person works in the office under the oversight of a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question, amritguzman. I can speak for SculpSure as our patients choose this procedure time and time again for its efficacy and its status as the best laser fat treatment after defeating CoolSculpting and other competitors in head-to-head clinical studies. Only a physician and/or surgeon can purchase a SculpSure laser after they have been approved through proper training. All SculpSure applicators are performed or supervised by the trained surgeon. Please be sure to always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure you are receiving the top-trained and equipped doctors. Best wishes,

This will probably vary for each state. In California, there really are no regulations in who can or can't perform CoolSculpting. Nurses, Physician Assistants, Estheticians, Medical Assistants, or anyone who has been trained by the company can perform the procedure under the supervision of a physician. Naturally, your results will depend heavily on the skill and experience of the treatment provider. If you are considering having the procedure done then I would recommend having it done under the direct supervision of a physician. Hope this helps answer your question.

ce properly trained, a licensed aesthetician can perform Coolsculpting under the guidance or supervision of a physician.  Coolsculpting devices can only be owned/purchased by a physician.  Results from Coolsculpting are highly dependent on the experience of the technician and the proper placement of the applicator.  Regardless of a person's title, ask them about their experience and don't be afraid to ask questions about the procedure or the plan for applicator placement.
