Coolsculpt experts: 2 vertical coolfits for abdomen? (Photos)

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.

My best,

Thank you for your questions and for sending photos to review. However, reviewing photos is not the best way to decide which hand piece is best. For the abdomen most women have a fat pattern that is in a diamond shape and therefore the CoolCore hand piece is usually the best option. Once again, I would suggest having the consult in person, however I feel your clinician is on the correct path.

We would need to examine your fat distribution and pinchability in person to determine which applicators would be most appropriate for you. Looking at your pictures alone I would agree with your CoolSculpting rep that the diamond pattern would give you the best coverage. Best wishes.
