Is There Any Weight or Size Limitation to Get Coolsculpting for Inner Thighs?

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

CoolSculpting is amazing technology when used properly.  It would take a consultation to determine whether you would benefit from inner thigh treatment.  The amount of fat, shape of fat distribution, and quality of the skin are factors that should be considered. 

Coolsculpting will reduce the fat in the small treatment areas only without any weight loss.  It is for bulges, not bulk.  With this expectation you may be very happy with the results even at a heavier weight if the bulges are disproportionate.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation.
