Cryoskin 3.0 vs SculpSure? - what is the difference in results/effectiveness in these 2 procedures?

Cryo-skins website talks about fat cells “coming up to the surface” and I don’t get it because fat cells don’t move. It is very difficult to find out about the technology and I would go with a treatment plan that has been available for 3 to 4 years with known successes. I think the only advantage would be that it is less expensive but does it work? No information. 

Sculpsure hasp roved over the last 2 years that the 25 % of the fat cells in the targeted area are gone, destroyed by the heat and slowly eliminated by the body lymphatic system. I personally find that the combination with Tempsure envi RF helps to achieve even better results. I have created a custom program for the clients, starting them off on detox nutrition , then sculpsure with personal fitness training and ending with tempsure envi.

Best of luck,

Dear Hilife,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Have you considered awake liposuction, instead of Cool Sculpting or SculpSure?You may want to look into a body contouring procedure that combines both liposuction with laser, radiofrequency (RF), or acoustic therapy to produce the best balance of fat reduction and skin tightening and smoothing for your body type and anatomy. We use a proprietary technique that we call IDEAL Liposuction. First off, all devices and instruments used are FDA-approved. These procedures are usually performed in the office, with only local anesthesia. We typically use Smart / Laser Liposuction or ultrasound to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening to maximize skin contraction; and Ultrasound, RF, or subcision (Z Wave, Venus, Cellfina) to treat cellulite. Patients go home the same day as surgery, do not need any narcotics postop for pain control, and can return to light exercise and work two days after their procedure. In my practice, we select the appropriate treatment for each patient based on their skin quality, amount of fat and surgical goals. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

Best,
