Zeltiq is FDA approved and has measures for safety. It is the only well documented cooling fat reduction method with resutls and safety. Best, Dr. Emer.
Zeltiq is the only device company that has FDA approval for the process of fat freezing. CoolSculpting is what they have branded the procedure. They also own a global patent on the technology which was discovered by Harvard scientists. There are several other "imposter" devices that claim to do the same thing as CoolSculpting. However, their effectiveness and safety cannot be guaranteed.
The real issue is safety. Zeltiq's coolsculpting machine has safety checks built in to protect your skin and tissues during the procedure. Zeltiq's coolscupting process is FDA approved and the other machines are not.

Great question. You really need to ask the practice and make sure you understand how they are quoting the procedure. Some will call it an "area" but treatment will require two "applicators" (or cycles, or treatments, etc). In our practice this treatment usually costs $1400 for a new patient, or...
I think you might actually be good candidate for liposuction and fat transfer to the chest. From you photos I'm not convinced the issue is a skin issue. I think it's more of a fat distribution issue. As long as you are exploring options you should add fat transfer to your research.
I am not certain which particular fat freezing machine you are considering using, but I would only use whatever skin protection that the manufacturer of the machine recommends. Using a home made skin protection pad could result in damage to your skin.
In my opinion, cryo sculpting will not change the cellulite you have on your body. There are some new studies that show that cryosculpting can slightly tighten the skin. This is primarily in the abdominal area. If you are interested in treating the cellulite, the gold standard is Cellulaze laser...
