Can CoolSculpting (freeze the fat) or another noninvasive procedure be used to eliminate shoulder fat?

Question

I don't have a lot of shoulder fat but I would like my shoulders to be skinnier. What noninvasive procedure would be the most effective for someone who just simply wants skinnier shoulders, since lipo may not be the best option for shoulder fat? Please list some procedures, I like spaghetti strap shirts.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is not designed for shoulder treatments. Perhaps schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Sincerely yours,

Thank you for your question.   CoolSculpting is not designed to treat the shoulder area, but rather the abdomen, flanks and thighs.  In addition to CoolSculpting, we offer a non-surgical, radio frequency treatment called Exilis Elite that helps to reduce fat in areas of the body, such as shoulders, knees, arms, as well as the face, which can be difficult to treat with other non-surgical methods. Typically, 3-4 treatments are required spaced about one week apart. Exilis requires no downtime and takes approximately 45-60 per session.   Best of luck to you.

There is a trend for contouring of the arms and shoulders, and I have found the best results are with laser or ultrasound shaping of this area.  Noninvasive devices work very little in this area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There is no adaptor yet devised by coolsculpting for shoulder fat.  The company is working on new adaptors and something may be coming out in the future to help you.
