Is AirSculpt the same procedure as CoolSculpting?

Question

Not sure if I spelled it correctly but I am wondering if airsculpt is the same procedure as coolsculpting?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

AirSculpt and CoolSculpting are not the same procedure; they are distinct body contouring treatments with different techniques and mechanisms.

AirSculpt is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that uses a patented technology to remove fat through a small incision. It involves a device that gently plucks fat cells out of the body, aiming to provide precise fat removal with minimal downtime and scarring.

CoolSculpting, on the other hand, is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes cryolipolysis, a process that freezes and destroys fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates these dead fat cells over time. CoolSculpting involves no incisions and is often used for individuals looking for a non-surgical option for fat reduction.

Both procedures are designed to reduce unwanted fat, but they differ significantly in terms of invasiveness, technique, and recovery time. It is essential to consider your goals, preferences, and medical history when choosing between these treatments.

There is a very significant difference between the tow procedures. Coolsculpting is completely non-invasive and attempts to decrease fat in certain areas by freezing them and hoping some die. AirSculpt is a minimally invasive form of liposuction where fat cells are actually removed by a surgeon with the AirSculpt device. Both have little down time but for most people, AirSculpt is going to get better results and more likely help you achieve your goals!

The two procedures are very different.
Cool sculpt is a non-surgical fat removal treatment that has a fairly low overall patient satisfaction.
The results are typically subtle and the treatment can be unpredictable.
I generally do not recommend coolsculpting.
Airsculpt is a trademarked term for minimally, invasive liposuction. The procedure is only offered at Airsculpt centers. This option can deliver very impressive results, but it is a surgical procedure. Airsculpt is done with patients awake as an outpatient procedure. 
I suggest having in person consultations to understand your candidacy for this procedure.
