Am I a candidate for Coolsculpting? Can I combine it with other treatments to tighten loose skin after first treatment? (Photo)

You appear to be a good candidate for CoolSculpting of your abdomen. Based on your photos, you do not appear to have an issue with excess skin, so I'm not sure that you would need any skin tightening. I would recommend having the CoolSculpting treatments first and then you could determine if there is any issue with excess or loose skin afterwards.

Hi Beautiful818397

CoolSculpting can help you achieve your goals faster, stay on track and see changes that you can achieve with diet and exercise alone. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Coolsculpting combined with Skin Tightening is an excellent option to address stubborn fat on the abdomen. It appears by your photo that you are in good physical condition and that the minimal amount of stubborn fat should respond to a couple of Coolsculpting sessions spread over the abdomen and flanks. We often combine Coolsculpting which targets fat with Emsculpt which targets both fat and muscle for increased tone. Our Radio Frequency-based skin tightening devices can also be incorporated into the treatment plan for additional skin tightening.

Thank you for sharing your question and photos.
You seem a great candidate for minimally invasive procedure as Cryolipolysis, and yes skin tightening (radiofrequency, microneedling....) can probably improve your result.

You should be able to achieve your desired results with Cool Sculpting. Adding skin tightening modality, such as NuEra Tight after Cool Sculpting will aid in optimizing tightening of the skin. We usually recommend it after 30-60 days post CoolSculpting.

Hello and thank you for your question. I think you would be a great candidate for CoolSculpting. I would try that first then if you have nay issues with loose skin then address that afterwards. Go for an in person evaluation to discuss your concerns and options. Best of luck to you.

We are now lucky that we live in a time where we have lots of options were truly noninvasive that reduction in body contouring in skin tightening

Coolsculpting is still a great option but I find it’s one of the older ones and there are some new interesting options that I think work better in general for several reasons

1. Step deformities. Some patients that had cool sculpting Experience Raging at the edges of wire coolsculpting was. This is because cooling that’s not premier evenly throughout and only cools in the area where the applicator was applied. So you will lose fat where the application was And as a result get a depression in that area. Doesn’t happen and everybody but there are definitely patients that experience this. We don’t see this with radiofrequency or heat assisted lipolysis - evolve, vshape, juvashape, among others

2. Targets only fat and has no effect on muscle or skin tightening. Looking at your pictures You don’t have a lot of fat there that’s clearly visible. As such you may actually benefit from muscle stimulation as well! EMsculpt or evolve tone/ trim
Would likely for this reason to be a better option for you

3 Efficacy. Coolsculpting has up to 25% reduction in sight with the treatments. Newer generation radiofrequency assisted fat removal system set up words of 35% reduction in thought based on clinical studies.

For the above mentioned reasons I do find that there are better technologies out there than cool sculpting when it comes to noninvasive body contouring. You may want to see a clinic that has both types of devices And see their thoughts on the matter. I think you will find that most of those clinics well recommend going with the latest generation radiofrequency devices. Especially if they can stimulate muscle contractions at the same time

Happy to help and good luck
