CoolSculpting
Coolsculpting Coolsmooth applicator--just for thighs?
The CoolSmooth applicator can also be used on the abdomen as well. It is a flat applicator that does not suction your tissue in. Applicator options vary and your provider will select the appropriate one based on the treatment area, typically taking around an hour or more and secured to the area with a foam template and straps. It freezes your fat just like the other applicators do and there is also a post-treatment massage. It is best to come in for a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for the treatment and if CoolSculpting can address the dent that you are concerned about.
Clinical Context
A dent and a soft fatty bulge aren't the same problem. CoolSculpting applicators, including CoolSmooth, work by cooling fat cells, and suction-based cups need enough pinchable tissue to pull in. A sunken area can come from uneven fat loss after weight change, scar tissue from prior surgery, or simply how fat sits over muscle in that spot. Your surgeon can examine the area and tell you whether CoolSculpting is likely to help or whether another approach fits better.
