Why is a laser treatment, ultra sound and radio frequency good after the CoolSculpting?

Question

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

At our center, we
use Zimmer Z-wave radial pulsed therapy after CoolSculpting to
optimize results. Depending on the condition of the patient's skin,
we might also add in further skin tightening with Ultrasound
(Ulthera) or Radiofrequency (Thermage or Thermi 250) to tighten the
skin if necessary.  Laser is used less frequently, but could also
help to tighten loose skin. The interesting thing however is that
usually the skin tightens with just CoolSculpting alone. The other
devices generate heat in the tissues, which triggers skin tightening.
Zimmer Z-wave helps
smooth out the remaining fat and tissue after CoolSculpting, leading
to more uniform results. Its actions are similar to a manual massage,
but greatly enhanced. We have found that CoolSculpting is more
comfortable when combined with Zimmer Z-Wave and post-procedure
bruising is decreased. Final results are also about 50% better than
in patients who opt for CoolSculpting alone. Please consult a
board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a candidate for
CoolSculpting with Zimmer Z-Wave.

Coolsculpting only melts fat cells and it does it slowly. One treatment melts 25 % of fat cells. After coolsculpting treatment your fat is gone, but the sagging skin is still present and that is treated with laser treatment, ultra sound and radio frequency. It tightens the skin and improves overall appearance of the treated area. It tightens the skin after the stubborn fat is removed. Good luck!

At our offices, we often recommend that our CoolSculpting clients have an Ulthera Ultra Sound treatment for skin tightening.  The Coolsculpting procedure will destroy the fat cells in the treatment area and thus permanently remove pockets of fat.  But, if there is skin laxity, a skin tightening procedure can be very helpful in presenting the most aesthetically appealing results. There are a variety of skin tightening treatments on the market, we have found that Ulthera is the most effective.

Coolsculpting only melts fat cells and it does it in slow and noninvasive manner. One treatment melts 25 % of fat cells. After coolsculpting treatment your fat is gone, but the sagging skin is still present and that is treated with laser treatment, ultra sound and radio frequency. It tightens the skin and improves overall appearance of the treated area. In short, it tightens the skin after the stubborn fat is removed. Good luck!

Laser treatments are recommended as a good pair with CoolSculpting to help tighten the skin after the fat has been removed. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the right treatment plan for your particular case.
