Skeptical about CoolSculpting. Does it not work on some people's fat?

Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is FDA approved to treat 9 designated areas of stubborn body fat. There is currently no data on cryolipolysis for the fingers so it wouldn't be accurate to generalize those findings to the body. Coolsculpting applicators will reach a target temperature and maintain that degree for the duration of the treatment. To avoid frostbite, a specific skin prep protocol is followed for skin protection. Coolsculpting provides excellent results when an individualized plan is formulated with the appropriate number of applicators to cover the desired area as well as the specific number of treatment sessions. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Rubinstein, facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.
