What is CoolSlimming and how is it different from CoolSculpting?

Question

CoolSlimming is much cheaper than CoolSculpting, so just wanted to know the difference.

CoolSculpting is the only device cleared by the FDA for fat reduction using cryolipolysis. CoolSlimming is not typically performed in the U.S. and I would not recommend undergoing this procedure since it may not have the track record for safety and efficacy the CoolSculpting offers. I also encourage you to schedule your treatment with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist that is an expert in the CoolSculpting device to ensure an optimal outcome.

CoolSculpting is the only FDA-cleared device in the US to use cryolipolysis to reduce areas of stubborn fat. CoolSlimming uses similar technology, but is not approved for use in this country. I strongly encourage you to choose a provider that offers CoolSculpting for your body contouring procedure. It is best to work with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in this treatment to ensure an optimal result as well.

Coolslimming isn't anything FDA approved.
If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish or TrusculptID to get small areas of fat reduced.  Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra, venus legacy, Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments.  You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We also combine coolsculpting with shock therapy like Z wave, EVIVE, and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I've never heard of the Coolslimming device. It's mostly likely a chinese knock off machine. The CoolSculpting device is the only FDA approved device that uses cryolipolysis to reduce fat. Its safety and effectiveness have been established through multiple clinical trials and studies. It's your body we're talking about, I would never recommend trusting it to the lowest bidder. Make sure you see a certified and experienced CoolSculpting physician for an in-person consultation and examination.

I had never heard about CoolSlimming before this, so thanks for that!  The machine is clearly a knock-off of the gold standard CoolSculpting which is the best technology for fat removal we know.  I looked up CoolSlimming and they don't even claim to do fat removal- only cellulite improvement which is actually unlikely as well.  Since Cellulite is a function of both fat as well as the connections between the skin and the underlying muscle, cryotherapy is unlikely to be a mjor aid for this.  Ii recommend that you stick with the gold standard... CoolSculpting.
