Is cryolipolysis a good treatment for excess fat above the knees, or thighs?

CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis technology to eliminate fat cells from the body. With each CoolSculpting treatment, fat can be reduced up to 25%! The approved areas for this procedure include the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and underneath the chin. CoolSculpting has been used for additional areas, such as the arms and above the knee, off-label. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon near you to see what procedure is best for you to meet your aesthetic goal. Good luck!

I'm in the US and the only cryolipolysis device I would trust is Zeltiq's Cool Sculpting. With that being said it's a nice option for fat reduction if you do not desire surgery but is not as good as surgery. There is an approved applicator for the inner thigh and the outer thigh. The cool mini is sometimes used around the knee area but honestly out results aren't optimal compared to liposuction. Best of Luck. 

Thank you very much
for your question. Yes, CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to essentially ‘freeze’
away fat cells. The noninvasive technique can be used on almost any area of the
body, including the inner and outer thighs, and above the knees. I suggest that
you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced
in CoolSculpting. At this appointment, he/she will determine if CoolSculpting
can provide your desired results.

Hi,

Cryolipolysis sounds like a good option for you. Like all fat removing techniques, it is best for focal areas of fat excess where the skin is good and will retract nicely. It is usually simpler and less expensive than liposuction. Regards, Dr Steve Merten

Cryolipolysis is the same technology that is used in Coolsculpting treatments. Coolsculpting is a way for patients to reduce fat in a  non-surgical procedure. The most common areas that are treated are abdomen (upper/lower), flanks, inner/outer thighs, arms and chin. That being said, any area treated should be an area of pinchable fat. I would suggest having a consult with a certified Coolsculpting office to discuss your options.
