CoolSculpting and weight loss: What's the maximum amount of weight can you lose from one session?

It's very important to remember that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. It's a non-surgical procedure that helps you sculpt areas of stubborn fat in the body when you're already at or close to a healthy ideal body weight. You will see better results if you are able to lose that excess weight through diet and exercise beforehand and use CoolSculpting to treat the stubborn areas that don't respond to these lifestyle changes, like love handles, bra bulge, and the area known as the "paunch." 

Hello, Thank you for your question. An ideal Coolsculptong candidate will be within 30lbs of their ideal weight. CooLSculpting will not cause you to loose weight, but you will loose 20%-25% of the fat in the treatment area. While most do see results after their first treatment, many do need more than one session for a complete correction. Please consult with a local provider in person to determine what you need. Best of luck! 

As mentioned by others, CoolSculpting is not a weight reduction procedure, it is a nonsurgical fat reduction procedure which results in 25% less fat each time the area is treated. And like surgical liposuction, CoolSculpting works best in patients who are at or near their ideal weight. CoolSculpting is very effective in removing those areas of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise like liposuction does. I recommend that you have a physical exam with a plastic surgeon who is experienced and knowledgeable about these procedures and can help in supporting you in a safe weight reduction method prior to surgery or nonsurgical options.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure, not a weight loss procedure.  The fat cells are frozen then eliminated by the body.  Once they are gone, they're gone for good.  After fat cells are eliminated, you have less of an opportunity to store lipids in the area where CoolSculpting has been applied.  You may gain weight and lose weight, but you do not regrow those fat cells in the area where CoolSculpting has been applied.  The best option for weight lose is with diet and exercise.

Coolsculpting is not considered a weight loss treatment. It's a non-invasive treatment that targets stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise and is for those who are within they're ideal weight range. You typically lose 20-25% of the fat in the area treated, each time you treat it.  I have done it to myself and my staff.  It is truly effective and has no down time.
Best of Luck,

Thank you for the question.  Coolsculpting is not a weight loss treatment and as a matter of fact your weight will not change significantly after a coolscupting treatment.  It removes fat in stubborn and targeted areas by 20 - 25% in those areas, but this does not lead to any significant weight loss even though it may appear you have lost 10 or 15 pounds by reducing fat in stubborn and hard to lose areas.  Hope that helps.  
Best,
