CooLSculpting Works on the Outer Thighs
CoolSculpting helps get rid offat in any area in which it is used. In many patients, it is difficult to perform CoolSculpting on the outer thighs because the skin and fat are unable to be drawn up into the CoolSculpting apparatus.
Therefore, patients who want their thighs treated should be evaluated by a dermatologist experienced in CoolSculpting and not be disappointed if the physician does not recommend treatment. (Jonathan Crane, DO, Wilmington Dermatologist)
Zeltiq just received FDA approval for CoolSculpting of the outer thigh with the new CoolSmooth hanpiece!
Until just a few months ago, the answer would have been, no. CoolSculpting doesn’t work well on the outer thigh because the tissue is more fibrous so its more difficult to pinch it which is a requirement for the tissue to be drawn into the older hand pieces via suction.
The new CoolSmooth hand piece is a flat applicator applied to the outer thigh that doesn’t work via suction. It is a much larger hand piece and can treat a greater surface area. A single treatment cycle takes 2 hours.
We are finding that this new applicator can also be used off label in other areas such thinner abdomens where fat can’t be pinched for an even more sculpted look- not possible with the traditional hand pieces.
We are very excited with the results we are seeing on our outer thighs! More than one treatment is often needed just like the other body areas. . (Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD, Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Outer thighs
Zeltiq has just recieved FDA approval for their handpiece for outer thighs. The outer thighs have been a challenge because the contour makes it difficult to suction the skin and fat into a handpiece.
The new handpiece is flat and is attached to the outer thighs with straps and cools the tissue without the suction of the other handpieces.
The treatment time is longer at 2 hours to recieve the optimum treatment. (Michelle J. Place, MD, Danville Plastic Surgeon)
Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq on Thighs
The upper outer thighs are a very popular area for Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq. Typically, the fat bulge on the upper outer thighs can be reduced by 25% with only one treatment of Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq.
If there is skin laxity or cellulite in the area, we also treat the upper outer thighs with VelaShape after completing the fat reduction with Zeltiq. It’s a great combination treatment to create a nice silhouette.
The best way to know if cool sculpting by zeltiq and/or velashape is a good option for your outer thighs, I suggest you come in to a reputable medical office for a proper evaluation and feel comfortable with your options before spending any money. (Amir Moradi, MD, San Diego Facial Plastic Surgeon)
