Who Is a Good CoolSculpting Candidate?

Are you wondering if you’re an ideal CoolSculpting candidate? Read on to find out…

Since it came on the market in 2010, CoolSculpting has been helping individuals from around the world reduce stubborn diet- and exercise-resistant fat. It was initially touted as a non-invasive fat reduction spot treatment that evolved into an alternative fat reduction treatment to liposuction without the need to go under the knife.

For those seeking a non-invasive fat-reduction treatment with no downtime, CoolSculpting is a viable alternative. Over the past decade, it has become known as the number-one doctor-recommended fat-reduction treatment. It is the first and only of its kind to use innovative cooling technology. In this post, we answer the question of who the best CoolSculpting candidates are and more.

What does CoolSculpting treat?

The best CoolSculpting candidates struggle to get rid of that final exercise- and diet-resistant fat in certain areas of the body. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat exercise- and diet-resistant fat in nine body areas:

• Arms
• Bra Fat
• Stomach (belly fat)
• Banana rolls (beneath the buttocks)
• Back Fat
• Chin Fat (double chin)
• Jawline Fat
• Waistline flanks (love handles)
• Thighs

What is happening when CoolSculpting results appear?

During treatment, paddles are placed on the treatment areas. Controlled cooling technology is then administered. The cooling technology freezes fat cells in the target areas.

Over time, the frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body. As the fat cells are eliminated, a loss of inches can be seen in the treatment areas. The fat cells are also gone for good once naturally eliminated from the body. Cells in the areas surrounding the treatment area remain intact.

Results can be seen within one to three months. Maximum results can typically be seen within three to four months. Results may continue to be seen as cells are eliminated from your body for up to six months.

CoolSculpting results are long-lasting when a healthy lifestyle, including a good meal plan and exercise, is maintained. It is common for individuals to see a 20 to 25% reduction in fat in treatment areas after CoolSculpting.

Will I lose weight with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a fat loss treatment, not a weight loss treatment. Therefore, as you lose inches for a slimmer physique, you might not lose weight.

We are born with a certain number of fat cells, and that number stabilizes around adolescence. When we lose and gain weight, our fat cells shrink and grow in size. With CoolSculpting, the number of fat cells decreases in the treatment areas, and the total number of fat cells in the body decreases. The decrease in fat cells is what causes the reduction in size in treatment areas.

Some individuals won’t qualify for CoolSculpting. It is not a weight loss treatment. CoolSculpting can help those close to their ideal weight reduce stubborn fat in approved treatment areas.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is the latest technology in the CoolSculpting family. With CoolSculpting Elite, you get greater results in a shorter amount of time. The original CoolSculpting treatment only allowed you to get one area treated at a time. CoolSculpting Elite makes it possible for two areas to be treated simultaneously.

CoolSculpting Elite uses a C-shaped applicator instead of the classic CoolSculpting U-shaped applicator. CoolSculpting Elite’s C shape applicator allows for improved suction, faster treatment times, and more even treatment. Compared to the CoolSculpting classic treatment, CoolSculpting Elite enables treatment of up to 18% more surface area. Two areas can also be treated in half the time.

Am I a CoolSculpting candidate?

CoolSculpting works well for both men and women who are close to their ideal weight. An ideal candidate maintains a relatively healthy lifestyle, as well. Those struggling to lose those last few inches of diet- and exercise-resistant fat tend to make the best candidates.

Women who have had a baby should wait at least one year following the birth of a child prior to scheduling a CoolSculpting treatment. Also, for those who have recently lost a lot of weight, it is suggested they wait to schedule a CoolSculpting treatment until after they’ve maintained their weight for a year.

How much is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting cost varies based on several factors. Treatment area, geographical area of practice, practitioner, and number of treatments all affect the price. In general, you can expect to pay an average of $3242 for a traditional CoolSculpting treatment, according to RealSelf.

CoolSculpting costs range from $650 for a single treatment to $6835 for a full series of treatments. The arms and stomach are common treatment areas. To treat both arms and the stomach, the costs range from $1400 to $3000 and $1500 to $3000, respectively.

At DermaTouch RN, you can expect to pay around $1999 for a 150-day fat reduction membership, with additional costs for additional treatment areas.

You can also apply for Medical Spa financing through CareCredit or Cherry Financing to cover CoolSculpting treatments, so you don’t have to pay for the entire treatment out-of-pocket upfront. The healthcare financing company will determine the amount of financing you receive based on your credit history and additional factors.

Your CoolSculpting provider will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your fat loss goals and budget.
