One provider has proposed 8 regular cycles plus two cool max primarily on my abdomen and upper back to be done on the same day. The other provider generally doesn't do more than 4 - 6 cycles on one area on the same day. How much is too much? Is there an increased risk for nerve pain with so much done on the abdomen at once?
Answer: Coolsculpting and Results versus Hi Definiton Liposuction See that many applications of coolsculpting can give you a hi definition body shape with VASER HI DEF. I suggest you see an expert in body shaping. Yes there is little downtime with coolsculpting but it can never give you what a VASER HI DEF procedure can give you in terms of skin tightening, cellulite improvement and body shape. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Safe to CoolSculpt All Day! We have had several patients have 10 areas treated in one day with no issues at all. It is rare for patients to experience severe discomfort after the treatment, and we have not found that having multiple areas treated at once increases the discomfort at all. The only problem with doing that much at once is sitting still for such a long period of time! We do allow for some extra time in between sessions for the patient to stand up and move around a bit before we start treatment in the next areas. Make sure when you are scheduling that you ask for a few minutes in between to stretch your legs!

Answer: CoolSculpting for fat reduction in my NYC practice often uses more than one applicator, new CoolAdvantage is faster Depending on the individual's anatomy, multiple applicators may be used on the same day. Some times the applicators purposely overlap to some extent and that may make the sensitivity, that is temporary, slightly greater. It is more of a function of time, and patient's patience, to determine how many applicators can be done in one day. In our NYC practice we have multiple CoolSculpting machines and can offer our patients dual side treatments such as the love handles and saddlebags (outer thighs) at the same time to cut down the time. Some of my patients who require six applicators on the abdomen can have two at the same time provided the treated areas are far enough apart that the applicators are able to effectively treat the area without being obstructed by the second applicator.Our practice is fortunate to be the first in NYC to have CoolAdvantage which is a new applicator for CoolSculpting that treats a larger area, in just slightly more than half the time of the former applicators, and with greater comfort. This helps lessen the total treatment time.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice. The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.

Answer: That's a lot of Coolsculpting! That's a long hard day of CS. Multiple and overlapping treatments on the abdomen seem to predispose to neuropathic pain. Multiple SculpSure treatments are often better tolerated. At some point, liposuction is more efficient economically and time-wise, if you're a good surgical candidate.

Answer: How many cycles can be done at once? Thank you for your question. There is no limit as to how many treaments can be done in one day. It is based on preference and can be spread over a few appointments as it is sometimes easier and more comfortable for the patient. If you are unsure as to which treatment to go with, try asking each for an explanation behind their treatment plans. A third opinion may help you feel less confused as well. All the best. Regards,
