Can cool smooth be used on the inside and top of knee?? {cool sculpting applicator} (photos)

CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool. Knees can be a challenge with any modality. CoolSculpting has a specific applicator that has been used in this area with good results.  We have had good experience with the skin snapping back.  Each individual is different.  See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate.  Moreover, would also consider seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who can give advice on both CoolSculpting and Liposuction.

Rather than the CoolSmooth, which is mainly used for the thighs, the CoolMini applicator can be used on the knee area in appropriate candidates. Your physician should have many different applicators with the CoolSculpting device to find just the right fit. Please visit a board-certified dermatologist for a consultation to see if CoolMini is a good choice for you.

Thank you for
your question. There are only a few target areas that can be addressed with CoolSculpting. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a
CoolSculpting consultation. This way, you will be able to explain your concerns
and find an option that fits your desires. An in-person assessment is always
best.
