I have always had extra fat on my triceps that do not go down with exercise, and have about 1 inch to lose on each arm. Would CoolSculpting or would laser-lipo be a better option for this?
Answer: Treatment of Flabby Arms The answer to your question depends on your expectations and how aggressive you are willing to be with treatments. You are a candidate for CoolSculpting the arms. However, almost everyone that gets CoolSculpting for the arms will need at least 2 treatments for optimal results. Results will be subtle compared to more aggressive treatments and you may not lose a whole inch. You may want to combine it with a skin tightening treatment such as ThermiTight to give you optimal non-surgical results.

Answer: Coolsculpting Hi, In office examination is very important to see if you are a good candidate for coolsculpting. It is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.I use Pelleve which uses radio frequency for skin tightening.

Answer: Arm options It's hard to assess skin by a photo but it appears healthy. If that's the case and you want non invasive options then i think a cool sculpting consultation is reasonable. The arms are still off label for Zeltq and may require more than one treatment. Surgical intervention is best in most cases but Cool sculpting is a nice option if you wish to avoid surgery. Best of Luck.

Answer: Coolsculpting arms Coolsculpting is an option for treating fat in the arm area. For some people they may need fat reduction followed by radio frequency for skin tightening. However, you will not know if you need skin tightening post coolsculpting until you have completed 2 treatments in the area and waited for 3 months.
