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

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.

You can “stack” CoolSculpting treatments on the same area on the same day if you wish, but this may increase your risk for side effects such as bruising and swelling. This is actually an off-label use of CoolSculpting, which is designed to have treatments spaced by about two weeks apart. If you decide you would like to try this method, please do work with a board-certified dermatologist who has training and expertise in CoolSculpting. 

We often perform coolsculpting on two different areas of the abdomen on the same visit.  Depending on the contour of your stomach many patients need both the upper and lower abdomen treated and prefer to do this on the same visit.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with coolsculpting for the best cosmetic results.
