Zeltiq CoolSculpting
4.8 /5 (1 Reviews)
Medical device company Zeltiq™ is the name behind the one-of-a-kind body contouring procedure, CoolSculpting™. FDA approved for fat reduction in 2010, Zeltiq's CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses "cryolipolysis" to eliminate small excess fat deposits on the waist, hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen.Cryolipolysis is an innovative new method of fat reduction involving "fat-freezing". During a CoolSculpting procedure, unwanted fat areas are pressed inbetween two cooling plates for 1-3 hours. During this time, fat cell lipids literally freeze to death, causing fat cells to harmlessly break down and become reabsorbed by the body.
It's recommended that most Zeltiq patients undergo two or more CoolSculpting treatments to achieve the best results. Per treatment session, CoolSculpting can cost anywhere from $600-$900. Product claims state that on average, CoolSculpting patients can experience a 20% reduction of their body fat layer post treatments.
CoolSculpting is currently the only FDA approved body contouring method to use cryolipolysis. Other popular non-surgical body sculpting treatments rely mainly on thermal laser energy (Zerona), tissue stimulation (VelaShape) or injectable solutions (LipoDissolve, Mesotherapy) to break down unwanted body fat.
