How many times can you do one area of freezing the fat?

Question

Janet Allenby, DO · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question. There is not a specific number of times you can treat one area. It is based on what your specific needs are. When you consult with a local provider in person they should be able to give you an estimate of how many times you will need to treat a specific area. Good luck!

As long as there is still adequate "pinch-able" fat in the treatment area, there is no specific limit to how many CoolSculpting applications one can receive. 
As a general rule, one can expect 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area per application. The number of applications a patient would need depends on how much fat is in the area to begin with, and how dramatic of a change the patient is looking for. We often recommend waiting at least 3 months in between applications on the same area, so we can fully assess the results of the first treatment and adjust the placement of the applicator if need be.

CoolSculpting, which destroys fat cells by freezing them, can be done as many times as needed to a particular area.  I would say the range for most people is between 1-3 sessions, but some people do have more.

Michael Kerin, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for the question.
CoolSculpting can be done on the same area as many times as you like, provided that there is adequate fat in the area to treat.  In general, this means you need to have pinchable fat in the area.  Remember, with each treatment you will lose 20-25% of the fat, so as the amount of fat treated decreases, you get less of a noticable effect.
Best of luck,

Hello and thank you for your question. It all depends on the area that you desire to be treated. Most people in our practice need at least two treatments to each area of the body they are having Coolsculpted. Many patients see a better result with multiple treatments done. I recommend setting up a consultation with a certified Coolsculpting provider to get assessed and determine what the best Coolsculpting treatment plan is best for you. Best of luck!
