Will Cool Sculpting (Zeltiq) Address Skin Laxity?

The only area Coolsculpting will help treat any skin laxity or to help tighten the skin is only submental tissue, which is typically under the chin. The cool mini applicator is used to treat this area. Although the procedure time is longer than other treatment areas it does have impressive results. Fortunately, cool sculpting does not create further skin laxity for any treatment area either. 

CoolSculpting is only FDA cleared for fat reduction. As the CoolSculpting reduces the fat in that area, your skin may have more laxity. If your skin has good elasticity you may see your skin contract slightly.

Thank you for your question! CoolSculpting kills 20% to 25% of the fat cells in the treated area but does not correct or address excess loose skin or loss of elasticity or firmness. There are however treatments that can be used in combination with CoolSculpting to address this. In our clinic we marry a treatment using CoolSculpting Cryolipolysis for the reduction of fat and the CORE V-FORM to restore collagen to improve the skin's overall elasticity and firmness. I recommend scheduling an in person consultation with a CoolSculpting specialist or preferred physician in your area for a physical evaluation and the opportunity to discuss a custom treatment plan that will deliver the best results for your specific areas of concern. By meeting for a consultation, you will know what other types of treatments can be combined to address the skin's elasticity to achieve your desired results.
