What is the Difference Between TruSculpt, Liposonix, and CoolSculpting?

Thank you for your question. Ultimately, which procedure you choose is up to you. As far as which one is best, it depends on the type of results you want. At my practice, I have had great results with CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is a breakthrough, non-invasive procedure that uses cooling technology to noticeably eliminate fat without surgery. Typically, each CoolSculpting treatment results in a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area. After the initial treatment is complete, you can attain further reductions with additional treatments, resulting in even more fat loss. Some patients find that just one treatment fully addresses their goals. There is little to no downtime associated with CoolSculpting as well. You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Dear miumiuftw:

Over 35 years ago, a surgical option
became available to reduce localized areas of fat in the superficial layer just
under the skin. This became known as Tumescent Liposuction. As well experienced
surgeons became better at contouring and smoothening the curves of the body,
the technique advanced from “spot” liposuction to LipoContouring or
LipoSculpture. These techniques are dependent on the skill and talent of the
surgeon using a “to and fro” arm motion with a suction cannula. Technology
added “power” behind the hand-engine with ultrasound, radiofrequency, laser and
waterjets in the cannula.

Over 10 years ago, similar technologies
using ultrasound, microwaves, radiofrequency and lasers were created to heat
the fat without burning the skin. Most of these have failed to provide a
reliable and reproducible results.Most recently, CoolSculpting, identified and
created by a team of scientists and Dermatologists developed a non-surgical
option to reduce “spot” fat once again in a reliable and reproducible method
freezing the fat cells without injuring the skin.

CoolSculpting, TruSculpt and Liposonix are all
different ways to reduce superficial fat thickness without surgery. Both
TruSculpt, using radiofrequency and Liposonix, using high frequency ultrasound
deliver heat to destroy the fat cells; again without reliability. CoolSculpting
uses cold temperatures to nearly freeze the fat, killing and permanently
reducing the fat cells.

In our practice, many patients turn to CoolSculpting for the
most reliable, consistent and effective method of permanently reducing fat. If you have smaller bulges, a series of CoolSculpting
sessions will provide up to 20% reduction of the fat which fits into the CS
applicator. If you wish a single session where up to 90% of the fat under the
skin is removed, contoured and smoothened, traditional tumescent LipoContouring
is recommended.



Please
obtain consultation from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who provides both
options so you will receive your best recommendations. I wish you the best!
