Is It Better to Use the Larger Zeltiq Head Vs 2 Smaller Ones for the Lower Abdomen?
Answer: Large vs 2 Small Handpieces This answer will vary depending on your distribution of fat at your abdomen. The best thing to do would be to get a consultation in order for your clinician to assess the area. While the larger hand piece can shorten the treatment time, it may be advantageous to take the extra time with the smaller hand piece in order to more accurately treat the area if it requires it. It really depends on your anatomy and how much fat can be suctioned into the hand pieces adequately and give you the optimal result.

Answer: One large vs two small applicators for lower abdomen To answer this would really depend on physical exam. For example a non-linear placement of the two smaller applicators may help to treat a non-linear fatty deposit. If the bulk of the fatty deposit can be pinched and drawn into a large applicator, then I usually favor this approach.

Answer: It depends on the patient and determined during a consultation It depends on the patient.We normally determine which applicator would be appropriate during the initial consultation and assessment. Each patient has different anatomy, fat distribution and different areas of concern. In most cases the large applicator is used to “debulk” the fat or when the bulge is concentrated in the center of the abdomen. The small applicators are used to sculpt or define the stomach or for the flanks.

Answer: CoolSculpting - Abdomen - When one large handpiece is better than two
With CoolSculpting, you have the two handpiece sizes (thus far) - The larger one grabs considerably more fat than the smaller one. If your abominal fat is centralized, then the one larger handpiece (or cup) is the most efficient, both from a time and cost perspective.
This eliminates any potential two-handpiece "treatment overlap" which can cause some additional tenderness and side effects. So when possible, opt for one larger handpiece.
On the other hand, if your fat is more laterally focused - outside so that the single large handpiece won't grab hold of the entire width of the area you want to treat, then the two smaller handpieces will be your choice.
A careful technician will be able to consecutively treat side by side areas without undue overlap.

Answer: Which handpieces for the abdomen when having CoolSculpting depends on your body
The only important thing is to make sure the applicator that is applied fits well and covers the maximum area possible. Even if you need the large applicator on the lower abdomen, you may need a separate treatment on the upper abdomen and a small applicator may be the only one that fits you there.
