Cryolipolysis: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Coolsculpting is an efficacious non surgical alternative for fat reduction. Cryolipolysis technology is clinically proven to reduce fat cells for good.

On average one loses up to 25% of the fat cells in the area treated with each session and it can take up to 3-4 months to see the results.

I would recommend an in person exam to determine candidacy. (Kathleen Morno, MD, Highland Park Physician)

Coolsculpting works best in someone who had a small area of fat on an otherwise fit frame.

Depending on how your body responds and your expectation 1 treatment may be enough.

CoolSculpting of the lower abdomen pooch

One treatment will reduce the thickness of the fat layer by approximately 20%. Only a certified CoolSculpting provider can do a full assessment to determine how thick the fat layer is on your abdomen and verify that only one treatment will get you the results you want.
Most of our patients have a great reduction with only one treatment. However, many choose to have an additional treatment for even further reduction after they see their great results.

The results you want to achieve are what should be considered when a treatment plan is created for you. Whether you want just the pooch reduced to flat or a really super flat abdomen with even less fat, CoolSculpting can provide that for you. (Pradeep K. Sinha, MD, Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon)

If you are able to pinch fat in your pooch, then Coolsculpting will make it better. There is never a guarantee that the pooch will be gone, but you will get an improvement. Doing two treatment sessions spaced about 6-8 weeks apart will give an even more impressive result. (Andrew Campbell, MD, Milwaukee Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Will one coolsculpting session get rid of this little pooch?

As you have a small localized area of diet and exercise resistant fat, you are certainly an excellent candidate for non-invasive treatments like Coolsculpting or SculpSure. Each of these procedures can reduce the volume of fat by about 20-25% with each treatment.

Having said that, I could not guarantee you that one session alone would give you the results you are seeking, if you want the whole area gone. You may well have to have additional sessions to obtain optimal results.

Have an in-person consultation so that an experienced office can provide you with all the relevant information. (Craig Schwartz, DO, Leawood Vascular Surgeon)

CoolSculpting Gets Rid of “Pooches”

The original CoolSculpting applicator works best on “pinchable” areas, such as the fat you have grabbed on the front of your abdomen.
Other applicators can treat other areas of the body. As for how many sessions you will need to achieve optimal results that will be decided during your in-person evaluation with a board-certified dermatologist.

In my experience, small areas need only one treatment with proper application and use of massage and/or Zwave acoustic massage. (Kimberly Butterwick, MD, San Diego Dermatologic Surgeon)

Satisfaction with a cosmetic procedure has a subjective part that is very important meaning in your eye the result might not be enough, having said that each CS session is supposed to decrease fat by 20-25% so it is possible that you might want a second session.

Since your extra fat is small 1 session might be enough as well. Again you should wait for the first 90 days and evaluate your personal response. (Parham Gharagozlou, MD, FACP, Walnut Creek Physician)
Coolsculpting and tummy pooch

Coolsculpting freezes fat cells that eventually die out. If your pouch is consisted mostly of fat, it will be helpful for you. On the other hand, it will not tighten your skin or affect your muscles.

Make an appointment with board certified physician to get advise on the treatment that would work the best for you! (Hardik Soni, MD (not currently practicing), Summit Emergency Medicine Physician)

CoolSculpting really is like “sculpting” the body. So sometimes you need multiple treatments to make sure the entire area is treated, and that you are treated in a way to enhance your curves.

3 months after your first session you will need to evaluate, to decide if you would like to treat it further. (Janet Allenby, DO, Delray Beach Dermatologic Surgeon)

CoolSculpting for the lower abdomen

CoolSculpting can be used to treat fat in many areas of the body, but it is best at treating the abdominal area. (Jill C. Fichtel, MD, Columbus Dermatologic Surgeon)

CoolSculpting should at least be considered as part of your treatment. Good candidates for CoolSculpting have isolated areas of fat resistant to diet and excercise with good overlying skin tone.

Therefore in order to make a final decision a face to face examination and discussion will be required. Getting your CoolSculpting advice from a Plastic Surgery practice has the added benefit of understanding the goals and limitations of all different approaches, non-surgical and surgical alike. (Trefor Nodwell, MD, Ottawa Plastic Surgeon)

If fatty tissue, it is likely that you will not need a series of treatments but results vary.

I suggest that you do your Coolsculpting with a plastic surgeons office so you can get a good evaluation of you problem and then craft the best solution. (Deborah Ekstrom, MD, Worcester Plastic Surgeon)
