Coolsculpting Costs...Who Sets the Price?

Zeltiq designed an effective technology to safely reduce fat without surgery. This has a significant dollar value to our patients. The equipment is expensive for the practice to purchase, there is a computer chip that allows the physician to treat each cycle, but that chip is expensive and is disposable so the physician has to purchase multiple chips to allow for treatment. Furthermore, there is a costly expensive for the physician to purchase each of the new applicators as they are manufactured. There are now five applicators that physicians can choose to purchase to allow for the best fit and to allow more patients to be candidates for the treatment. Lastly, there is an expensive service contract that most practices purchase each year to maintain the equipment in good condition and for repairs should they be necessary. All these factors illustrate why physicians can't discount the fee for CoolSculpting to any significant extent. 

In our NYC practice, we don't charge more for the larger applicator even though it costs more for us to use it. We offer discounts for multiple applicators, as many of our patients are candidates to have several applicators per zone to truly sculpt their physique and we wanted to make it as affordable as possible. We also discount for second treatments.

 

Hello and thank you for your question!  Coolsculpting pricing is an individualized plan per patient Treatment Plan.  During your consultation, your provider will customize a treatment plan specific to your needs after assessing your body.  Applicators range from small to large and pricing is based on which applicator is being used along with the number of applicators being used.  I hope this helps and good luck to you!

The cost of Coolsculpting
depends on how many areas you are having treated. Each area can vary from
$600 to $750 dollars. You should speak to your practitioner about how
many sessions you will need on each area as well so that you have realistic
financial expectations.
My best,

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!
