I want to get coolsculpting around my knees and I also want to do laser treatment of the same area for spider veins. Should I do the coolsculpting first and then the laser treatment or vice versa? Do I need to separate the 2 treatments by any length of time? I'm just treating small purplish spider veins, no large varicose veins.

Answer: Coolsculpting and spider vein treatment for legs? In my practice, we really need to evaluate the patient to see what type of fat reduction treatment is best. Sometimes it is coolsculpting or Vaser lipo. But there are also slimming/tightening options of ThermiSmooth (non invasive radiofrequency) and skin tightening options of ThermiTight (minimally invasive radiofrequency). We often think that layering these techniques gives the best result. We encourage "Fire and Ice" with ThermiSmooth (heat), immediately followed by Coolsculpting, immediately followed by acoustic massage for the best results. The leg veins should probably be evaluated afterward for most of our patients.

Answer: Coolsculpting & Spider Vein Treatment--Add Radiofrequency, Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, VASER, ThermiRF I recommend getting a formal evaluation to determine the right timeline for you. It may be best to have Coolsculpting first. It will take 3-6 months for final results with Coolsculpting. Keep in mind, for best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed and some people need more than one treatment. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
