Coolsculpting reduces the subcutaneous fat. There is no research supporting loosing subcutaneous fat will decrease the amount of insulin you take. Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Your question is very insightful! You are correct that the reduction of weight and abdominal fat has been shown to decrease insulin resistance and improve levels of hemoglobin A1C. Unfortunately, the fat that influences blood sugar and insulin release is the intra-abdominal fat, the fat that is under the abdominal muscles and around your internal abdominal organs. CoolSculpting can only treat the fat layer just beneath the skin, subcutaneous fat. CoolSculpitng is not intended for weight loss, it is intended to shape and sculpt the body Good luck!
I have not seen or heard of any type of correlation between CoolSculpting and a reduced need for insulin in type 2 diabetes. CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure and there is little to no weight loss from the treatment.

Hello and thanks for your question. While both treatments give an adequate result, Coolsculpting has a 20% higher approval rating and is considered the gold standard by many. The CoolSculpting treatment is ideal for those at a stable weight with small to moderate areas of stubborn...
