Sixteen CoolSculpting treatments and counting - do some people have cryo-resistant fat cells?

Question

Hello. I've had sixteen CoolSculpting treatments performed on my lower abdominal area over the last twelve months. Appointments were spaced appropriately. However, I haven't noticed any difference. How is this possible? Do some people have cryo-resistant fat cells?

Hi! Thanks so much for this question. I am so sorry that Coolsculpting has not warranted your desired results after numerous sessions. In terms of your question,  Cryo-resistant fat cells often refers to fat cells that are resistant to the effects of diet and exercise and can be difficult to reduce through conventional weight loss methods. This in turn often makes these specific areas treatable with Cool Scultping. With you having already completed several cycles to the treatment area, I would encourage you to first contact the establishment you received treatment from to address your concerns and discuss if other options are available!
