Why Choose CoolSculpting Over SculpSure?

If you are looking for a way to eliminate diet and exercise resistant fat, without surgery, you are likely considering a number of treatment options including CoolSculpting and SculpSure.

While both non-invasive body contouring systems are FDA-approved and extremely popular, there are number of reasons that patients prefer CoolSculpting to SculpSure.

So, why choose CoolSculpting over SculpSure?

Here’s everything you need to know about the advantages of CoolSculpting.

How Do CoolSculpting and SculpSure Work?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that delivers controlled cooling in order to freeze and destroy stubborn fat bulges on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, banana roll, bra line, upper arms, chin, and jawline.

SculpSure is also a non-surgical procedure that utilizes hyperthermic lasers to heat and irreversibly damage fat cells beneath the skin.

Following both treatments, destroyed fat cells are naturally cleared from the body via the lymphatic system.

Why Choose CoolSculpting Over SculpSure?

When it comes to CoolSculpting vs. SculpSure, many patients wonder: Why choose CoolSculpting over SculpSure?

In addition to being the most-studied non-invasive body contouring modality, with more than seven million treatments performed worldwide, CoolSculpting has a more established track record than SculpSure.

It first gained FDA-approval in 2010, while SculpSure entered the market two years later. CoolSculpting is also more versatile and cleared to treat more body parts compared to SculpSure.

Individuals also prefer CoolSculpting to SculpSure for the following reasons:

CoolSculpting Is Highly Customizable

CoolSculpting boasts seven different handpiece applicators that come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Accordingly, providers have an expansive arsenal of sculpting tools at their disposal to tailor CoolSculpting treatment to each patient’s anatomy, specific concerns, and goals.

CoolSculpting Is Able to Target Fat Rolls and Bulges

Because of its curved applicators and suction technology, CoolSculpting is equipped to tackle bothersome rolls throughout the body.

Comparatively, SculpSure’s flat applicators are not ideal for bulges and fat pockets and are better suited to thin, uniform layers of fat.

CoolSculpting Is Comfortable and Well-Tolerated

During a CoolSculpting treatment, unwanted fat is gently vacuumed into the selected applicator and treated with freezing temperatures.

Because the technology is designed to selectively target fat cells, surrounding skin and structures are unharmed.

Additionally, the patented cooling technology causes the treatment area to become numb within a matter of minutes.
