With so many body sculpting treatments available such as CoolSculpting vs. SculpSure, which is best?

We cut right to the chase and investigate these two treatment options, below.

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment that uses fat freezing technology to target and eliminate areas of unwanted body fat.

During a Coolsculpting session, the treatment area will be cooled to a specific temperature until fat cells are destroyed.

These fat cells are then depleted from your body through the normal waste removal system.

What Is SculpSure?

SculpSure uses heat temperature technology to destroy fat cells in the desired treatment areas.

Once destroyed, these fat cells are also depleted from your body through your natural metabolic system.

CoolSculpting vs. SculpSure, Which Is Best?

While both products are considered to be safe and effective to treat areas of stubborn body fat, there are a few things to consider when deciding which treatment is best for you.

The first factor to consider is pain sensitivity in your treatments.

SculpSure has been found to be slightly more uncomfortable due to the high temperature treatment sessions so if you are particularly sensitive to pain, CoolSculpting may be a better option.

Moreover, if you are looking to eliminate a large area of fat CoolSculpting generally yields a greater amount of fat removal during a treatment and may be the better option for you.

The only way to know which treatment is best for you is to seek the guidance of a board0certified physician with experience performing these treatments.
