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!

Thank you for your question. Yes, an aesthetician can perform the consultation and treatment as long as the individual has received the proper training and certification. Regards,

We have a licensed aesthetician who administers the CoolSculpting treatments. However, for the initial consultation each patient first meets with one of our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons or licensed Physician Assistants to discuss the CoolSculpting procedure in detail, undergo a physical exam, and discuss any alternative treatments they might be interested in. We find this to be the most effective protocol for our patients. 

I recommend seeing a board certified doctor for body contouring procedures. Keep in mind, for best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert, but yes if the provider is certified and the aesthetician trained it is legal. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, an aesthetician can perform the consults, and complete a patients treatment as long as they are over seen by a certified practitioner, and completed required Coolsculpting training.  Make sure the office is a certified Coolsculpting pratice with plenty of experience performing the actual treatments.  Hope this helps you in determining which practice is best to meet your needs.  

Hi leannejh- As long as your provider is CoolSculpting Certified, works at a certified practice and has been to CoolSculpting University, then the aesthetician can certainly perform your CoolSculpting treatment. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that can be performed by most medical providers as long as they have been properly trained and have extensive experience in body contouring. Don't hesitate to ask your provider for real patient before & after photos to see their capabilities and ask to see their certification. My Best, Dr. Basile
