CoolSculpting has had a lot of press lately. Here is our two cents on the technology: It works but is it risk free? No, like any procedure it has risks. Key is to make sure each patient is aware of the risks so can make an informed decision. It works but is everyone a good candidate? No. CoolSculpting does not work on visceral fat. It does not help loose skin or cellulite. It works but is it weight loss? No, CoolSculpting is not a method for weight loss. The ideal candidate is targeting stubborn fat that is hard to get rid of with diet/exercise. It works but is it going to completely get rid of my fat with one treatment? No. CoolSculpting is typically AT LEAST two treatments and each person’s starting point and desired outcome is unique. It works but can I go to anyone with a device and expect similar results? No, experience and credentials matter! If you wouldn’t go to just anyone to buy your hair, why would you go to just anyone to do a medical procedure on you? Even if considered aesthetic, it is a medical treatment. With any treatment, the key is to make patients aware of the risks and befits so each patient can make an informed decision. Fortunately we haven’t had any major complications (besides with some discomfort, soreness, feeling swollen, etc) with CoolSculpting within our practice over the past 10 years but doesn’t mean they can’t happen. I personally love CoolSculpting and it has done wonders for my stomach after 3 babies. I understand the risks but it doesn’t outweigh the benefits for me and given what I’ve seen within our own office, I’m not too concerned with the likelihood of experiencing any extreme adverse outcome. *This video was shot prior to all our new Elite machines.
