How Much Does CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Cost?

While cost should always be a factor in your decision, there are many factors that you should evaluate first.Do the doctors and staff evaluate me for being a proper candidate; educate me on this procedure as well as the alternatives?Do they have the alternatives available or is this the only procedure they have?Is the doctor on site?Is it a procedure they believe in? have they had it done themselves?Is the doctor Board Certified in a Cosmetic Specialty?Can I see pictures of the doctors patients?Once you are satisfied with these answers and feel comfortable with the doctor and facility then price should enter the picture.At Accents Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa in Sterling Heights, Michigan the procedure is offered for $600 for a small area and $1200 for a large area.We also offer several packages like our special Hot and Cold package where we freeze the fat with CoolSculpt and tighten the Skin with Exilis!

Coolsculpting reduces fat in most (but not all) patients by traumatizing the fat with cold thermal energy (freezing it). It's not as effective as liposuction, but Coolsculpting doesn't require anesthesia. In appropriate candidates, Coolsculpting is used to treat specific areas, like the abdomen and flanks (love handles). Areas can be treated more than once. Usually one site costs $750 for one session. Most doctos will add discounts when multiple sites are treated or multiple sessions are used. As always, seek out an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience to see if you are a good candidate. Good luck.

Hi there, the best way to see how much your CoolSculpt procedure will cost is to have a consultation to see how many applicators would be needed to achieve your aesthetic goal. The pricing is nearly the same everywhere. Best, Andrew Smith, MD 

Coolsculpting costs are fairly uniform across providers as the provider costs are similar.  Your ultimate cost will depend on the areas you want treated and how much treatment is needed to achieve the desired result.  This can vary as some larger areas, such as the abdomen, may require more treatment then say the thigh or chin.  Coolsculpting costs depends on how many cycles one might need.  The abdomen for example usually requires a minimum of two cycles, but may require more.  I recommend a consultation with a reputable physician to truly assess your needs.

A very common question we get asked is.... how much does coolsculpting cost. Unfortunately coolsculpting doesn't have one set cost.  It depends on how many treatment areas you need for your problem area of concern. For expample, some abdomens will need 4-6 treatment areas in one setting, and another person may only need 2-4, thus their cost would be less. The best thing to do is find a reputable, certified coolsculpting facility near you and schedule a consult to get educated about coolsculpting see if you are a great candidate and get a price quote based on your needs. 

The cost of coolsculpting is going to be relatively consistent wherever you go. 
It is incredibly important, however, that you pay attention to who you are seeing for this procedure, as it is really about the planning and assessment, not just putting the device on. Are you consulting and having your procedure planned with a nurse, a doctor, aesthetician? 
 Like many things in life, you will get what you pay for to some degree, and outcomes are truly variable depending on how the procedure is planned and performed.  A small difference in price can mean a huge difference in the results that you get. 
To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon.

Thank you for your question! CoolSculpting prices vary by several factors.  These factors include the area that is being treated, how many cycles are desired, and facility in which the treatment is performed. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a certified CoolSculpting technician to formulate your treatment plan and gather all necessary information.  Good luck! 

The price is pretty similar everywhere as Zeltiq will not allow it to be lowered beyond a certain number. It will depend on the area you wish to have treated and how many cycles are needed. This ranges a lot. Look at the before and after section, several of the photos have the area and the number of cycles they had done. Estimate that each cycle is about 750 in my office(certainly there are packages that will be less for volume discounts which vary). Keep in mind going bargain hunting with your body is not a good idea. It is the only one you have, trust it only to a certified plastic surgeon who performs the full range of cosmetic body treatments so that if CoolSculpting is not right for you, they can discuss all the other options you may have so that you get the results you are looking for. Good luck and thank you for asking!

Pricing for fat reduction with CoolSculpting depends on what you are asking. Patients  typically want to know how much it will cost to treat an area, however, that can mean something different for every patient. Each time we place an applicator on an area that has excess fat, it costs $700-1400 depending on which applicator is used. There are five different sizes; Mini, Petite, Six inch (cooladvantage), Eight inch (coolmax), and Coolsmooth. The real question to ask your ABMS Plastic Surgeon is how many times an applicator needs to be placed on the area in question to meet your goals. Often times laser liposuction is more cost effective than Coolsculpting. Good luck 

 One should consider the following facts while choosing the coolsculpting cost.
1. Does the price include a coolsculpt consultation with a qualified, experienced and board certified physician? Can your physician get a detailed health history and examine you personally before recommending the total number of treatments or alternatives?
2. How long has the facility performed coolsculpting? Does the facility use the newer  applicators? 
3. Do they offer Dualsculpting and other complimentary procedures such as Z wave treatment to enhance the coolsculpt results and reduce the post procedure  discomfort?
4. Is the facility  invested in meeting your long term aestheic goals or is it offering deep discounts on a single procedure?
5. Is the facility similar  to an assembly line or will you receive personalized care?
We were the first physician practice to offer Coolsculpting to the Northshore area of Boston,MA. We have two machines and new applicators, I have personally personally performed over a thousand procedures.We are certified Coolsculpt practice and graduates of coolsculpting University. All of the above factors are included in our pricing. 
 

As several surgeons have already mentioned, Coolsculpting pricing is carefully monitored and set by Zeltiq so that pricing does not vary widely. It also depends on what the individual patient desires. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical option to surgery (liposuction) that results in 25% reduction of fat in the area. It, like liposuction, is not a weight loss procedure. Similar results in certain areas can occur with Coolsculpting with repeated treatments. Most patients choose Coolsculpting over liposuction because Coolscupting does not require any anesthesia, requires no needles, and has no downtime. As long as patients understand that Coolsculpting will not result in large volume fat reduction, it can be a great alternative to surgery.
