Glycerine and water soked pads

Question

if i soak pads in glycerine and water solution , then use between fat freezer machine and skin , will it still prevent damage to the skin

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

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.

The gelpads have been designed to protect the skin from the cold temperature. What advantage would there be in making your own gelpad?

Michael L. Workman, MD (retired) · Answer

Hello, I'm not sure what fat freezer machine you are referring to, but for CoolSculpting, Zeltiq provides special made gelpad that goes on between the skin and the applicator. It is very important to use the gelpad provided by the company in order to protect the skin from frostbite. The gelpad can only be used once and during the application process, if it were to tear, the provider will need to put on a new one.
