My Coolsculpt advantage applicator got disconnected after 30min and she didn't restart treatment, saying it's effective after 15min anyway. But I find this sketchy. What's the point of a second treatment EVER? Surely patients come back to re treat the same area because the second time around, more fat cells are frozen?? Ie. extended coolsculpt sessions provide extended fat freezing. And therefore by giving me an incomplete session, she's short changed me? Nb. It's the new Coolsculpt machine

Answer: Should be fine 30 mins should be fine- the repeat treatment is to get another reduction of 20-25% of that particular area- results take 4-12 weeks to show

Answer: CoolSculpting problem The new CoolSculpting machines require 35 minutes. The fact that you got 30 minutes is within the margin of error and probably is not a situation where you got "shortchanged". Having said, that my office probably would have offered a discount on the second procedure but because of safety reasons certainly would not have repeated the procedure over the same area after the dislodging of the handpiece.. With regard to your question about second or even third sessions, it really depends on how much you are trying to lose in a given treatment area. The fat cells killed per session are about 20%. I believe that second sessions are extremely effective in many cases. We use combination therapies with radiofrequency and ultrasound used in conjunction with CoolSculpting. I would recommend that you speak with your practitioner about your concerns. Adrienne Stewart MD FAAD
