Best non-invasive treatment for upper arm fat?

Question

Hello! I have looked up Coolsculpting, Sculpsure and truSculpt, and cannot decide which non-invasive treatment would be best to reduce upper arm fat. Which one is the most effective? Which one acts fast? Which one is the least painful? How often should I get them, if multiple treatments are required? Thank you very much.

Hello, Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is the number 1 non invasive fat reduction treatment. They recently release a new hand piece specifically for the arms. You may need more than one treatment on each arm, but that can't be determined until you've had your in person consultation. The full results will be seen in 2-3 months. There is some mild discomfort but with the new advantage hand pieces, the pain has been drastically reduced. It is imperative that you have a consultation with a local physician to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

Hello drarry4ever,You listed 3 often mentioned options, but CoolSculpting is the leader, by far, in the non-surgical fat reduction arena. Treatments take 35 minutes and are not painful. Many patients require 2 treatments 8 weeks apart to achieve the best results, but this depends on your anatomy.Best of luck,Oscar A. Aguirre, MDUrogynecologist & Cosmetic Surgeon

Coolsculpting is the best researched and most effective non-surgical fat loss solution on the market today in my opinion.  I have seen very impressive results in upper arm treatment with it.  Good luck!

Hi drarry4ever- CoolSculpting is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive fat reduction procedure available with over 4 million treatments done worldwide. CoolSculpting is also the first and only procedure cleared to treat the arms, with an efficacy of 20-25% reduction in just 1 treatment. Depending on what your goals are, if you have enough fat in the area and want a greater reduction (possibly 50% or 75% reduction) then you may consider additional sessions to reach your desired goal. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a CoolSculpting Certified provider who has the newest applicator designed specifically for the arms. My Best,Dr. Basile

We have done many arm treatments with our Coolsculpting units. It usually takes 2 treatments. My opinion is that Coolsculpting is the best of your non invasive options. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD

There are quite a few non-surgical fat reduction devices on the market today, which means you will likely hear varying opinions as to which one is best based on the device the provider offers. It is important to know CoolSculpting is the only non-invasive fat removal technology cleared by the FDA to address the upper arms. 
I chose to carry CoolSculpting at my practice, because it has been proven to be effective and safe with little discomfort and no downtime. It is also the most performed fat reduction treatment in the U.S.
I frequently treat the arms with CoolSculpting and my patients have been very happy with their results. Any of the non-surgical options you mentioned will take time for the final result to be seen. As far as whether or not you will need multiple treatments, it's impossible to say without an evaluation of the area. 
Best of Luck!

We believe coolsculpting is an effective treatment to reduce upper arm fat. Since patient results vary, more than one session on each arm may be needed. For larger volumes of fat, we can also use the Vanquish Flex HD reduce upper arm fat. I just posted a picture of a patient who had her upper arms treated--and this was one session on each arm.
