I am 5'6" and 127lbs and tend to carry weight below the waist. I used to have athletic yet lean calves, but since pregnancy 2 years ago my calves are huge and fatty. I managed to get all other areas back in shape, but my calves are resisting the weight loss and I can't zip my boots or wear certain jeans. I think there is plenty of flesh/fat for the applicator to grab, but I can't find much information on Zeltiq for the calves. Will Zeltiq help?
Answer: CoolSculpting not for calves CoolSculpting works well for areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, inner thighs and sometimes arms. The calves are usually not treated because the area is not pliable enough to be effectively pulled into the applicator by the suction in order to be treated with the cooling panels. You may consider liposuction instead. It is always a good idea to consult with a physician to see if you are a good candidate for particular treatments.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Cool sculpting treatment of the calves This is not a FDA approved treatment area.Body reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula inserted into your body. All treatments are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes the fat. Don’t hesitate to give us a call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process. The discomfort from treatment does resolve. Taking over the counter tylenol or naproxen resolves this in the majority of cases. If you have swelling that is persistent then a waist binder is helpful.

Answer: Zeltiq CoolSculpting Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. However, I would not suggest using CoolSculpting on calves.

Answer: Coolsculpting - not for calves
The reason that you've not heard about Coolsculpting for calves is that it is not typically used in this area. The reason is that that the flesh of the calves is typically quite firm (not soft and squishy). It would be difficult to get the flesh into the applicator. It you truly do have excess fat (and not large calf muscles), you might consider liposuction.

Answer: Cool sculpting (Zeltiq) for Calves?
Thank you for the question.
It is probably a little early in the development of applicators for cool sculpting to be performed on the calf areas. Generally, this area does not demonstrate enough pliability/mobility to adequately fit in the suction applicators currently available.
I'm sure this technology will improve/expand quickly so please be patient.
Best wishes.
