Hello - I went to Ideal image for a consultation for coolsculpting. I'm 5'5 and 145 pounds. To do upper and lower abdomen she gave me a quote with 8 applicators - I'm assuming she quoted me with the smaller applicators - each being 35 minutes and all in one sitting. I haven't seen any reviews with this many applicators - does this seem right?
Answer: CoolSculpting The number of and type of applicators used together with your fat distribution will determine the number of applicators that are required. CoolSculpting has various applicators and every patient must be carefully assessed on their individual requirements and advised accordingly so please seek the advice of a top CoolSculpting specialist in your area.

Answer: Is it reasonable to have 8 Coolsculpting treatments in the abdominal area at Ideal Image? It is very important for you to understand the concept of how the Coolsculpting treatment areas are decided, it is based on the amount of fat, thickness of the fat in the abdominal area, and not your height and weight.

Answer: Abdominal contouring with multiple #coolsculpting cycles Hi. 8 is not an unusual number for upper and lower abdominal contouring. Depending upon the size of your upper and lower abdominal fat pockets under the skin, the small applicators may not be long enough and hence require more with overlap (common when there are curtaining of tissue). The largest applicator called the CoolMax is the equivalent of 2 cycles so they may be suggesting it be applied 4 times total. The other possibility is that the thickness of the deposit is such that a second round of treatments is being recommended (2 rounds of 4 cycles with the smaller applicators). In any case, the price is usually dependent upon the total number of cycles thought to be necessary. Wouldn't hurt to get a second in person examination elsewhere...good luck!

Answer: CoolSculpting: How many applicators? Thanks for your question. For the majority of individuals, the total would be 4 small applicators, 2 above the navel, and 2 below, forming a diamond shape. I would need more information and to see you in person, or at least some pictures, to truly know what is required for you. We generally recommend that our CoolSculpting patients treat twice for best results. So, it is possible that if you were asked to treat twice, your total would be 8 applications(4 each time). Additionally, if you were also treating your love handles, that would add 2 more applicators. And, some patients are wider in the hips, and require the CoolAdvantage Plus applied twice on the lower abdomen. Each CoolAdvantage Plus treats 2 areas in one applicator, so that would also provide 2 extra areas. Honestly, I would recommend that you contact your provider and ask for a detailed explanation of what applicators are going to be used and where they will be applied. Also, make sure that you are clear on how many treatments they are recommending overall. Good luck with everything. CoolSculpting works, so enjoy your journey to a new you!
