Can an aesthetician do the consultation and treatment for CoolSculpting?

Thank you for your question. In order for a practice to offer the CoolSculpting® procedure, at least a primary staff member must become certified by the CoolSculpting® manufacturer, ZELTIQ. Thus, I recommend visiting a plastic surgery center with a medical spa and consulting with a certified CoolSculpting® technician to evaluate your needs and help determine the best approach for you.

Coolsculpting can be performed by a well trained esthetician or nurse as long as it is performed under the supervision of a physician. There is a Coolsculpting university to train appropriate operator, but choose a location that is under the supervision of a physician who will approve of the final plan for your treatment.

Hello,Thank you for your question. While it is encouraged for a doctor to do a consultation, it is ok if someone else does. It is important to ask her what trainings she has had through CoolSculpting, and how long she has been treating people. It is very common for someone other than the doctor to actually attach the machine. Again as long as this individual has experience, it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
