Will Cool Sculpting (Zeltiq) Address Skin Laxity?

If your skin has lost its elasticity, it will probably look even looser after you have zeltiq.   A good analogy is the abdominal skin in a pregnant woman.  If the skin has lost its elasticity, it can look wrinkly and hang down after the mother has given birth and lost weight.  If the skin is tight, it will shrink back after the baby is born.    This is why patients with tight skin get the best results with zeltiq.  People with loose skin should consider a surgical procedure to remove both skin and fat (eg tummy tuck).

Your question is a common one. CoolSculpting is not designed to tighten the skin, it is a nonsurgical option to remove 25% pinchable fat per treatment. You did not include photos, so it is hard to tell how much loose skin result after fat reduction. Some patients who are younger may have skin which will respond favorably so that the skin laxity is not severe. However, depending on the amount of fat removed, others will be left with loose skin. However, there are also patients who report that along with the fat reduction, they have noticed some skin tightening. Another option would to have SkinTyte done after CoolSculpting to help with this. I recommend that you consult with a physician or provider with experience in treating these areas, and take the time to look at before and after photos as well. 

Recently, Coolsculpting studies revealed that when the neck is treated with coolsculpting there is a significant amount of skin tightening that accompanies it.  Presumably, this should also happen to skin in other areas of the body as well.  Of course, it can't get rid of all skin laxity and we all have differing amounts of inelasticity so seeing a reputable coolsculpting provider to discuss your options is a good idea.  Going to a plastic surgery office might be best as they can offer all possible options in addition to coolsculpting.
