Is there a new 'coolmax' applicator with the updated applicators?

Hello and thank you so much for your question. I think it’s a very
important question as the majority of information on Google is representative
of older applicators such as CoolCore and CoolMax


The most up to date versions of applicators are as follows:
CoolAdvantage  - with triple adjustable
shapes, the latest version of CoolCore, Coolcurve and Coolfit applicators. The
new and latest CoolAdvantage Plus is the latest applicator and replaces the
original model of CoolMax. CoolAdvantage Plus is far superior to the previously
used Coolmax, both in patient experience during the treatment and in post
treatment results.


The advantages of the up to date versions include the
following:


·       
patient and area selection, no longer is it
important to have ‘grabbable’   or pinchable
pockets of fat as the new applicator uses less suction. In comparison, the Coolmax
applicator had two cooling plates and suction was used to ensure contact with
the plates. The new applicator is in a way a cooling ‘cup’ thus ensuring a much
larger treatment area and far less suction. As a result, this gives a virtually
painless procedure with better results.


·       
less swelling immediately post treatment and
faster resolution of soreness/pain -less pain post treatment. Lower abdomen
treated with CoolMax is the area most affected with Late Onset Pain Syndrome,
which would be starting 4-5 days post treatment. Patient will experience
‘shooting’ stabbing’ pain in the treated area at times requiring medical and
prescription pain killers. With new CoolAdvantage Plus we are observing a far
less percentage of late onset pain, if any.


·       
time difference 45 minutes vs 60 minutes.


As a doctor working at the Dr Rita Rakus Clinic I specialise
in Non-Invasive Body Contouring and I ensure the following steps are taken:


The first step is a complimentary face to face consultation
with myself to ensure we eliminate any potential contraindications and
establish most recent patient medical history. Then a thorough examination and
decision as to a treatment plan and areas to be treated. 


Secondly,  I explain
the treatment in detail including all the steps and the experience, as you have
read depending on the area treated patient may have different levels of
discomfort ranging from virtually painless to mild discomfort.


Then lastly the treatment itself, followed by review in 6
weeks and 12 weeks.


We also use Z wave acoustic wave to enhance the results. However,
within the clinic we have several machines offering different body contouring
treatments so if Coolsculpting weren’t a suitable option we can determine the
most suitable treatment for you.  


I hope this is information has been helpful

The new applicators help shorten treatment time and keep patients more comfortable during treatment as well. Because an area can be treated in just about half the time compared to prior applicators, you're back to your regular schedule faster too. Definitely make sure to verify with your practitioner which applicators they're using, as the newest ones truly are superior. Good luck!
