Best non-invasive fat removal for inner thighs?

I have a significant fat pocket on my inner thighs and I'm wondering what works best for that area- coolsculpting, or an ultrasound therapy?

Coolsculpting inner thighs

Coolsculpting is a great option for the inner thighs.  I even like it more that liposuction sometimes because the fat reduction is slower and allows time for the skin to retract.

Vanquish is an FDA-approved non-invasive body shaping, skin tightening and fat reduction treatment requiring no surgery. The treatment is designed to sculpt and reduce problem areas resistant to diet and exercise. Vanquish effectively destroys stubborn fat in the upper and lower abdomen, love handles, back, saddle bags, inner thighs and upper arms. Some patients report a notable difference after just 1 treatment but final results are as far as 8 weeks after the last treatment.

CoolSculpting has proved to be a very safe and effective method for eliminating unwanted pockets of fat in these areas. The best results are achieved on those who are good candidates for the procedure. An ideal candidate is someone who is at or near their goal weight who finds they still have pockets of stubborn, unwanted fat that don't respond to diet or exercise. It's important that you consult with a CoolSculpting specialist to determine if this treatment is right for you. And if it is, there's a good chance it will achieve the result you're looking for.

The new CoolFit applicator is wonderful for inner thighs, and very effective.  Consult a board-certified detmatologist or plastic surgeon who has all the newer applicators for an evaluation

Non-Invasive Fat Removal For Inner Thighs

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
The Coolsculpting company has come out with an applicator for the inner thigh that can be very effective. It is important to have a consultation with a Board Certified Dermatologist with plenty of experience not only with Coolsculpting treatments but treating the inner thigh with Coolsculpting to see if you are an ideal candidate.

Yes, having a significant pocket of fat is important but the location and size of the pocket determine whether or not a Coolsculpitng treatment is most appropriate.

In my office I often treat inner thighs with a Liposonix treatment. Liposonix uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to destruct the fat. The liposonix head is shaped like a square and so treatment goes by square vs the Coolsculpting applicator. I find that I can better contour the inner thighs with the Liposonix technology as I can customize what area gets treated vs whatever fits into the Coolsculpting applicator.

It is best to consult with a Board Certified Dermatologist regarding your treatment.
