Is There a Weight Requirment Max and Min?

Basically, if you are between 0-15 pounds within your ideal weight you should just need one treatment.  If you are 15-25 pounds you may need 2 treatments and then over that you may need 3 treatments. This is a good way to judge how many treatments you may need to get optimum results. The pinch test that is used is anywhere from 1 inch to a softball size amount of fat in the area that you want to treat. Hope this helps.

Diet and exercise are important to decrease fatty accumulation and healthier than do treatments to artificially reduce the fat while maintaining excessive calorie consumption and not exercising.  However, there are many patients who do try to exercise and watch their diet but can't reduce a bulge. CoolSculpting can help reduce the fat in certain areas but will not provide as good a result as liposuction.  LIposuction usually is not be done on obese patients because of the medical risk and if CoolSculpting is done, even a series of treatments a few months apart, the 20% reduction in volume that can be seen in many patients by ultrasound examination at the four month time, may not be seen clinically as a significant reduction in someone who is dramatically overweight. The safety profile of CoolSculpting is excellent.
