CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is done in a physician’s office

CoolSculpting fat reduction, distributed by Zeltiq, is not a device that can be used at home.

It is an FDA-cleared device and should be used under physician direction.

Gel dressing is applied evenly by an assistant over the area to be treated and the device is then applied to the skin area.

The skin and subcutaneous fat compartment is sucked into the machine and held these two or three inches in the device for one hour while two electrically-controlled cooling plates freeze the fat. (Ronald Shelton, MD, Manhattan Dermatologic Surgeon)

Coolsculpting At Home Benefits For Fat Loss

I did not realize there was a ‘home version’ of the Zeltiq coolsculpting device. This is an FDA approved medical device that must be used under the direct care and supervision of a physician. (Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)

At Home CoolSculpting Device

There are many imitation CoolSculpting machines on the market. I am not familiar with any for home use, but none of these machines are FDA-approved. Any such machine for home use would either not be effective or would cause complications.

I would stay away from these types of devices. (Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS, Sherman Oaks General Surgeon)

While there are a lot of wanna-be Coolsculpting devices on the market, I would stick to the real deal if you don’t want to waste your time and money. (Sheila S. Nazarian, MD, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting for home use

You are setting yourself up for a disaster. There are reports of imitation machines causing burns. It is too sophisticated a machine to be affordable for home use. You will either get no results (this is best option) or get burns, or have a divot where the machine was attached.DON’T DO IT. (Steven F. Weiner, MD, Panama City Facial Plastic Surgeon)
