Can Zeltiq CoolSculpting Be Used on 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.

I am very impressed in some patients, with the results of Zeltiq but I am not aware of studies that have been done on fat reduction on the calves with CoolSculpting.  Currently there is no applicator that specifically is designed for the calf. I would question the possible side effects on the lower extremity that are not a concern on the outer thighs, abdomen, love handles, etc. such as exacerbation of varicose veins or sensory or motor nerve problems. I am awaiting results of pateints treated with CoolSculpting of their lower legs before I recommend such.
