Freeze Sculptor Machine v Cool sculpting - what is the difference between these two machines?

Question

I am interested in trying cryolipolysis to remove some stubborn fat. While browsing through some places I noticed some call it cool sculpting while others call it fat freezing. I called one specific spot and they explained they used the freeze sculptor machine and not the cool sculpting machine. I've have only heard of reviews from cool sculpting. but what is the difference between these two machines? Also why is freeze sculptor a lot less.

I am glad you asked this question. CoolSculpting is the only machine using cryolipolysis to freeze fat that is approved by the FDA. It has an extensive track record of both safety and success in the U.S. and across the globe. With those credentials, I only offer CoolSculpting to my patients and encourage those interested in body contouring to only work with providers that perform CoolSculpting. I also encourage you to look for a board-certified physician that specializes in nonsurgical body contouring to ensure the best possible results.

CoolSculpting is the Gold Standard and the only device approved in the US to use freezing for fat reduction.  The other device is probably a knock-off from China that is not a legitimate treatment here in the US.  As it is probably a lot cheaper I would be suspicious of any clinic offering this treatment.CoolSculpting really works and the side effect profile is extremely rare.  We have 4 devices in our Orange County dermatology office and have been using it for over 10 years!   Coolsculpting is the first device Allergan (the makers of Botox) has purchased which also gives it a lot of credibility.

I would only recommend using CoolSculpting for a treatment of cryolipolysis.  This device is the original and is the only device FDA-approved for use in the United States.  The other devices cost less because they are produced in foreign countries and are not FDA-approved for use in the United States.

CoolSculpting is the only device that has been FDA-cleared to use cold temperatures to freeze fat cells. Any other machine is a knock-off and has not been FDA-cleared. Their safety and efficacy have not been evaluated. Proceed at your own risk. I would recommend finding an experienced physician who uses an actual CoolSculpting machine and has been certified by the company. Best wishes.

CoolSculpting uses cold to freeze fat cells for permanent elimination. This FDA-approved technology has a worldwide patent that means nobody can reproduce it. The reason why the Freeze sculptor machine you are inquiring about is much cheaper because it does not work. You can purchase a sculpt machine online for approximately $3000 !
