Michelle chan376,
The Zimmer Corporation manufactures a medical grade cooling device that assists in both skin cooling and pain control for dermatological procedures. The Zimmer does not have the ability to create any changes and/or reductions in the fat layer. CoolSculpting on the other hand uses cryolipolysis to cause fat cell death resulting in non-invasive body contouring. In regards to the most efficient and successful non-invasive body contouring treatment, it is my feeling that CoolSculpting is the current gold standard.

Hi,Zimmer is a cooling device which uses forced cooled air to make other procedures more comfortable.  Zimmer air cooling does not do the same thing as cryolipolysis from Coolsculpting.  Coolsculpting is a patented process in which cooling is achieved through a metal cooling cup which brings the fat down to a specific temperature to achieve cryolipolysis.Warmly,Dr.Liu

They are different companies and machines but similar technology . Coolsculpting has been available with longer studies and safety record. It reduces 20-25% of the subcutaneous fat. Most physicians do not have experience with both systems because there is no need for an office to purchase 2 systems that are similar. I don't know what a Zimmer treatment would cost especially in Malaysia but in the USA we have a saying " you get what you pay for "

Hello and thank you for your question.I will try and assist you.Zimmer is a company and they have different devices.They have a cooling device, which we use to assist with patient comfort after treatments, like laser. It is a device that cools the air, but has nothing to do with fat reduction. CoolSculpting uses the term cryolipolysis to describe their fat- reduction treatment. Zimmer have another device that we use after CoolSculpting, which uses ultrasound to assist in breaking down the 'butter-stick' that results after the CoolSculpting treatment and improve the rate of seeing results, but this is an aid to CoolSculpting treatments, and is not a fat-reduction treatment.So, to the best of my knowledge, no Zimmer devices are fat-reduction treatments. So you cannot compare them with CoolSculpting, which is a fat-reduction treatment.I hope this helps.Mark
