Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. coolsculpting works on subcutaneous fat.

this is a great question and it has been studied well. There is no data to support that CoolSculpting elevates serum triglycerides. An explanation that has been proposed is that the freezing in Zeltiq that kills the fat cells, does not liquify the fat into the surrounding tissues unlike that which might occur with the use of other devices which uses different energy sources.
Several studies have shown no increase or decrease in serum fat and triglyceride levels after Coolsculpting.
CoolSculpting has not been shown to improve triglyceride levels. CoolSculpting works on superficial fat and not visceral fat.
Coolsculpting does not affect blood triglyceride levels. Measurements ot triglycerides in various trials and in several countries have shown no change in triglyceride levels after Coolsculpting treatment.
