Is CoolSculpting the only fat freezing treatment that works?

CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved cryolipolysis treatment. It has been proven effective during clinical trials and continues to produce marvelous results in the real world. It’s a highly sophisticated technology that not only freezes your fat cells without damaging other tissues, but also keeps track of your skin temperature to keep it comfortable and safe. The CoolSculpting system has many different applicators to treat variously sized areas. I’ve been working with CoolSculpting for more than five years. When I combine it with Zimmer Z-wave radial pulsed therapy, I can remove up to 35% of fat in a single treatment while creating beautiful and uniform results. If you try a cryolipolysis device that is not FDA approved, there is also more risk of burns, injury and poor results. It’s always tempting to find a bargain, but spending money on something that you have no idea will work or not is no bargain. Please find a board-certified dermatologist who’s certified by Zeltiq to perform your CoolSculpting sessions. 

Hello Karine, Coolsculpting is very popular because, as you mentioned, it actually does work. There are now knockoff fat freezing treatments being offered at much lower prices. We have evaluated many of these devices and found that most them are counterfeit devices that do absolutely nothing. There are some other non-invasive technologies that do seem to work. Sculpture, Ultrashape, Vanquish, BodyFx are some other non-invasive technologies that work but not as well as Coolsculpting and some of them are quite painful. I would recommend not wasting your money on knockoff treatments. Make sure any treatment you get is FDA approved for fat reduction and not just skin tightening or pain management. 

It's not the only, but it's the most successful device on the market at this time and there are more physicians who are willing to put their name and reputation behind it that any other device.

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is the only FDA cleared, a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells. There are other non-FDA approved cooling treatments out there. I recommend finding an expert on the Coolsculpting website in your area. Best of Luck!

Hi and thank you for your question! 
Coolsculpting definitely has the most experience, data and studies behind it, as well as FDA approval. Many of the knockoff devices leave patients with side effects and other concerns and there are many unknown factors with having treatment with these types of machines. If it is my family or friends, I always advise to do coolsclupting, even if they are doing it at other offices. 
Best of Luck

CoolSculpting is the only FDA approved cryolipolysis (fat freezing) technology. Moreover, CoolSculpting is considered the #1 non surgical fat reduction treatment. With the highest patient satisfaction ratings, CoolSculpting is a patented technology wherein we freeze fat cells to permanently reduce unwanted fat. The CoolSculpting applicators are designed to target problem areas and evenly reduce fat bulges.

The Coolsculpting procedure is the only FDA Cleared, non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells. There are a lot of other "knock off" cooling treatments out there that haven't been cleared by the FDA.

I would proceed with extreme caution when considering other treatments that have not been cleared or approved by the FDA. Especially when you are talking about your body. Cooling to temperatures so cold (-11 Celsius) can be very dangerous if not done correctly with the correct equipment. The Coolsculpting technology is a controlled cooling environment and is very smart. If the temperature is too cold, the machine knows and aborts the treatment. If the temperature is too warm the machine knows and aborts the treatment. This doesn't happen very often but when it does our specialist can check the area being treated and check the machine for any issues. Most patients can still have the treatment done after this, but might have to wait. I don't know if the other cooling machines do this and haven't seen any studies done with them. This is why we decided on Coolsculpting in our practice. There is safety in numbers and Coolsculpting has done the most known cryolipolysis treatments to date.

Just be careful, it's the only body you have! Good luck!!!

Good morning and thank you for your inquiry, there are another machines with similar technologies but CoolSculpting is in fact the only FDA-cleared treatment that freezes and eliminates unwanted fat cells with little to no downtime. Go with a certified provider.

Karinet:
CoolSculpting is the only FDA cleared technology to reduce fat utilizing the process of cryolipolysis. There are a few international companies out there claiming they can effectively freeze the fat like CoolSculpting. I would beware of these machines. I have seen a number of patients that have undergone treatments with no results. My advice per your account is you have seen great results with CoolSculpting. Commit to furthering your results with the FDA proven and safe technology of CoolSculpting. 
Be Well
