SculpSure or Coolsculpting for arms? Do you need more than 1 area to reduce 25% of circumference of the arm? is it permanent?

Thank you for your question. It is best to evaluate you in person to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. However, it looks like you would benefit from treatment. Most patients need a minimum of 2 treatments for the arms to see optimal results. Please make sure you see and expert physician. Best of Luck!

Arms are not an FDA cleared area for
treatment with Coolsculpting. The FDA cleared areas for Coolsculpting include:
abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs and submental area (under the
chin). These are areas that have data
proven efficacy and safety. Other areas
of the body such as the arms can be treated but it is important that these
areas are examined by an experienced provider and that you as the client are
made aware that these areas don’t yet have the data proven safety and efficacy. The arms are a common area that are inquired
about. Generally we see on average a
20-30 % fat reduction following Coolsculpting with the optimal results seen at
1-3 months. The arm circumference can be
measured pre and post treatment and may decrease.

But it is only the area of excess fat that
will be treated with coolsculpting so that it is hard to predict how much the
circumference of the arm may be reduced.
However, the fat that is eliminated is permanent. Of note: the arms can be difficult to treat
as there has to be some safety precautions as to where the applicator is
placed. Also because many clients will
have some skin laxity, determining who is a good candidate for treatment can be
tricky. Coolsculpting is not a skin
tightening procedure, and it is important that this is discussed prior to
treatment.
