Cool sculpting verse "smooth sculpting"??

Thank you for your question. There are many applicators that can be used for different target areas. Newer applicators can be used to areas that cannot be suctioned into applicators. It should be just as effective. Regards, 

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a very safe procedure. However, all treatments have potential side effects, although with Coolsculpting they are very unlikely to occur. Your treating physician should discuss all potential side effects and expectations before your procedure. I hope this helps!
