My Doctor Recommended I Get Two Coolsculpting Treatments Done on the Same Day on Lower Abs?

Thank you for asking this question! And YES it works!


I am very busy with Coolsculpting in my practice. I have found that the best results occur with the stacking method. I have had it done on my lower abdomen, and the results are unbelievable!




Stacking essentially means treating the same area twice at the same visit. I have found that with the second freeze I am able to recruit more fat and KILL it! My analogy is - if you want something to really be dead than you shoot it twice!




I strongly encourage my patients to "stack" their procedures for the best results.




Best of luck,

There have been cases in which the physician treats the exact same area twice, the second application follows immediately after the first. This stacking procedure has not been studied to compare the final results with someone who has two treatments separated by a month to four months. I also do not know if there is a greater prevalence of extreme skin sensitivity after the double stacking than the two treatments separated by time.

CoolSculpting is generally performed in "cycles" with each cycle taking an hour and covers one area. 60 minutes is required for the tissue to reach the correct temperature to cause the fat to shrink. Typically, separate cycles are needed for the upper and lower abdomen (each an hour), and each flank requires separate hour cycles. Two treatments can be done on the same day, and the time between treatments varies based on the areas treated.
