Had Coolsculpting done and blown away by the price my Dr was charging! If this is being touted as an alternative to lipo then why is the cost almost the same? Two large areas @ $1500 and four @ $750 = $6000 is insane. If I understand correctly this machine only freezes the fat so I cannot understand the justification in the costs. The nurse came in the room, attached the suction and walked out the door for an hour, what am I paying $6000 for? At least with lipo the Dr is actually doing work!

Answer: Cost of CoolSculpting
Hello and thank you for bringing your concerns to all of us regarding CoolSculpting treatment. In reviewing all of your noted concerns and questions, I found the comparison of your experience with CoolSculpting and value placed on the surgeon work (performance), a good reminder and message about the invaluable element of customer service and care. It is certainly true that the cost of a surgical procedure can be comparable to the non-invasive CoolSculpting option. While we carefully consider the expenses of business (all the costs to provide any service), we do our best in our practice to create pricing structures that will be fair and realistic to our patients.
As answered previously, all practices have expenses, maybe some higher than others, but we look for common ground on pricing these effective non-surgical treatments such as CoolSculpting. In any market, you may find variable costs, but should be close in proximity.
All of the treatments today are expensive, surgical and non-surgical, and the most important thing we can provide is sincere, honest and careful direction in treatment recommendations to help you achieve outcomes you're grateful to obtain.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this topic of concern as you're not alone when it comes to concerns about cost of treatment.
Best of luck to you!

Answer: Costs for Coolsculpting
Thank you for your question.
The price is adjusted per office but every office has to be able to pay for the machine as well as all of the disposable costs associated with this treatment. Sometimes when you have multiple procedures performed, the cost will be lowered.
The best part about this treatment is the result without having to go under anesthesia.
