In recent years CoolSculpting has established itself as one of the most popular and most effective methods of fat reduction and is now valued by patients around the globe. No wonder, since the treatment is straightforward and brings lasting results – but not everyone is suitable.
On this page we should like to explain to you, on the basis of simple criteria, whether CoolSculpting is the right method for you.
CoolSculpting is ideal for people who ...
... are close to their ideal weight: CoolSculpting is a method of body contouring, not of weight loss. It is most effective for people who are less than 11 kilograms away from their ideal weight.
... have firm, localised fat deposits: CoolSculpting is outstandingly suited to the removal of stubborn fat deposits that persist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Typical treatment areas are the abdomen, the flanks, the thighs, the upper arms and the back.
... have realistic expectations: while CoolSculpting can permanently remove the fat cells in the treated region, it cannot prevent you from putting on weight again in other regions. It is therefore important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle after the treatment too.
... have patience: the results of CoolSculpting are not visible immediately. It can take up to three months until the final results are visible.
CoolSculpting may not be suitable for people who ...
... are severely overweight or obese: CoolSculpting is not primarily intended as a weight-loss method. People who are aiming for significant weight loss should consider other methods.
... wish for a skin tightening: CoolSculpting cannot tighten existing excess skin, as it is not a method of skin tightening but reduces fat deposits beneath the skin.
... meet certain health conditions: people who suffer, for example, from cryoglobulinaemia or Raynaud’s disease may not be suitable for a CoolSculpting treatment. (rare)
... are pregnant or breastfeeding: women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only consider CoolSculpting again after their pregnancy.
... have unrealistic expectations: CoolSculpting is not a miracle cure and not every person will respond to the treatment to the same degree. It is important that you have a realistic idea of what the treatment can achieve.
Are you (severely) overweight and would you like to lose (a lot of) weight?
Unfortunately CoolSculpting is then - as a first step - not the right method for you.
What is recommended is nutritional advice or a change of diet, ideally paired with endurance training. After you have successfully lost a few kilos, problem regions usually remain, for example on the abdomen, that are resistant even to the change of diet and the training. It is precisely here that CoolSculpting helps and often ends the "long ordeals" of patients who have invested a great deal of time in diet and training without achieving visible success.

Summary
CoolSculpting is an effective method for reducing stubborn fat deposits that persist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. However, it is not the right method for severely overweight people, for example.
