Ultrasonic Cavitation/Radio Frequency before or after Coolscultping?

Question

I'm curious to know if it'd be best to have ultrasonic cavitation either before CoolScultping or afterwards to enhance my results. Either way I'd like to do both I am just curious which order would be best and how close together I can have them. I'd also be interested in knowing if it'd be best to have RF (such as BodyFX or iLipo) either before CoolScultping or afterwards to enhance my results. Thanks!

Hello CureEOSwon and thank you for your question! Ideally you would want to get ultrasonic cavitation or radio frequency after Coolsculpting.  It's not uncommon to be left with some skin laxity after Coolsculpting and radio frequency is a great way to tighten the skin in that area, in addition to destroying fat cells with RF heat.  Ultrasonic Cavitation can also be done after to help boost the results of Coolsculpting and improve fat reduction.

Martin Ray, MD · Answer

Ultrasonic cavitation should be considered after CoolSculpting as it can assist in improved results breaking up the frozen cells. Ultrasonic cavitation may prove superior to post treatment massage. There is also a recent study suggesting that ultrasonic cavitation could reduce the risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.

Both may be done after CoolSculpting to help with skin laxity after reducing the fat. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
