Is there a BMI requirement in order to use coolsculpting? Is this primarily used for final shaping after a person has already lost a good deal of weight?

Answer: CoolSculpting There is no BMI requirement in order to be a candidate for CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is best used for areas of stubborn subcutaneous fat. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure. The procedure works strictly on the fat cells. The applicator is applied to the area of concern. It applies cold to the fat to freeze it. Once that fat is frozen in the area, then the body will eliminate the dead fat cells. Each application should eliminate 20-25% of the fat cells in the area the applicator is placed. It takes about 2-3 months after the last treatment to see the best results. You should visit a CoolSculpting provider to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Answer: Coolsculpting - does it cause weight loss Thank you for the question. While there is no BMI requirement Coolsculpting is not a weight loss treatment and as a matter of fact your weight will not change significantly after a coolscupting treatment. It removes fat in stubborn and targeted areas by 20 - 25% in those areas, but this does not lead to any significant weight loss even though it may appear you have lost 10 or 15 pounds by reducing fat in stubborn and hard to lose areas. It can be used as a sort of "debulking" procedure in people who are significantly overweight, but realistic expectations have to be set. Coolsculpting is not a treatment for obesity. Hope that helps.
