contouring works by delivering electromagnetic energy directly into layers of muscle through an applicator placed over the treatment area - typically your belly, buttocks, or thighs. the treatment bypasses skin and fat (which are poor conductors of magnetic energy) and stimulates muscle fibers directly, according to research in the <\/span><a

thirty-minute treatment. although the result might be comparable to performing thousands of crunches in one session, you will not feel the same pain or have days of soreness afterward. treatment intensity can also be adjusted to the patient's comfort level.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as soon as your treatment is complete, you'll leave the office and resume your regular

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cooltone strengthens the muscle fibers instead. so, while you won't increase the size of the muscles, you will tighten and tone them, which will improve their physical shape.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cooltone stimulates muscle contractions, which help build and tone muscle tissue. building muscles has been documented to increase a person's metabolism, resulting in an increased metabolic rate. during this time, you may be burning fat faster than before.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possible cooltone

does cooltone cost?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the price of cooltone treatments will vary depending on the location. each practice sets its own prices.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the cooltone cost of four sessions one provider in new york city is approximately $3,400, or $850 per session. however, another cooltone provider, also in nyc, offers treatments at $600 a session and 20% off four sessions bringing the total to less than $2,000.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compare that to a provider in illinois who charges a maximum of $400 per session, but prepaid packages can bring that price down to $250 per session.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how many cooltone treatments are needed?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">based on several treatment providers, most people start with six sessions. they are scheduled for two sessions per week for a total of three weeks. but, not everyone responds the same way, so technicians will work with each client to create a personalized treatment plan.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can you use cooltone at home?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">performing cooltone at home is not recommended, since it requires skill and technique that\u2019s taught to technicians. properly trained, certified personnel can perform the procedure safely and effectively. however, there are personal electronic stimulation devices sold for use at home.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cooltone vs. emsculpt<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\"

cooltone and emsculpt stimulate muscles and the machine cost is similar, but emsculpt reduces fat, while cooltone only tones muscle. emsculpt is currently fda-cleared to treat arms, calves, abdominals, buttocks, and thighs, whereas cooltone is fda-cleared for abs, thighs and buttocks. emsculpt is also unique among body sculpting procedures in that it primarily stimulates muscles rather than reduces fat.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the emsculpt machine works by focusing high-intensity electromagnetic energy to trigger supramaximal contractions. this type of contraction is not possible with voluntary muscle contractions.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we also have to mention that emsculpt isn\u2019t too happy with cooltone, as

, any important research connecting the procedure to weight loss. finally, we came together with the facts to give you the bottom line.\r\n<h2>what is coolsculpting elite?<\/h2>\r\ncoolsculpting elite is an fda-approved, targeted fat loss treatment. \u00a0the process uses freezing temperatures, is non-surgical, and non-invasive to remove body fat. but how does it work, what are the side effects, and who would benefit from coolsculpting?\r\n\r\nthe discovery of the concept behind coolsculpting came about accidentally. dieter manstein, md, and r. rox anderson, md, noticed children who ate popsicles tended to have dimples. they concluded the popsicles froze and eliminated small pockets of fat.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

effect of killing some percentage of the fat cells in the area. after the coolsculpting session, the fat cells will be dead. however, the person receiving the coolsculpting treatment won\u2019t notice any difference yet. this is because the body still needs to flush out the dead cells, and that process takes time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

noreferrer\"><em>plastic and reconstructive surgery<\/em><\/a> - coolsculpting is shown to remove up to 25% of fat from targeted areas in people who underwent the treatment. this means that while coolsculpting can remove fat, it's not going to remove all fat or dramatically alter your body.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-coolsculpting.png\" alt=\"coolsculpting\" width=\"1606\" height=\"1060\" \/>\r\n<h2>the process of coolsculpting<\/h2>\r\nfrom a scientific standpoint, cryolipolysis is the process by which fat cells are killed by applying controlled cooling, usually in the range of -5 degrees celsius to 5 degrees celsius (41 to 23 degrees fahrenheit).\r\n\r\nthis causes cell death in subcutaneous fat while not harming the skin. no nerve damage was observed in people who received coolsculpting treatments in a clinical study.\r\n\r\nonce the fat cells die, the body\u2019s natural clean up processes kick in.\r\n\r\nthe immune system cleans the dead cells out of the fat layer, and the liver metabolizes them. once the process finishes, the remnants are excreted with the body\u2019s regular waste.\r\n\r\nthe process of removing and excreting those dead cells generally takes two to three months, though in some cases has been reported as happening a little faster or slower.\r\n<h2>what does coolsculpting do?<\/h2>\r\nthroughout a coolsculpting elite treatment, a technician places the targeted fat area between two cooled surfaces with a wand. those surfaces are cooled to near-freezing or freezing temperatures. the technician works the wand over the targeted area over about an hour for a typical session.\r\n\r\nsome have reported seeing visible results in as little as three weeks, though most see results in two to three months.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/does-this-product-really-work.jpg\" alt=\"does coolsculpting work\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/>\r\n<h2>does coolsculpting work?<\/h2>\r\ncoolsculpting is proven to work, though it's not a miracle treatment, and there are limitations, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4598345\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lasers in medicine<\/a><\/em>. coolsculpting currently earned a \"c+\" rating with the bbb.\r\n\r\nproponents of coolsculpting emphasize that the treatment is best suited for people who have areas that stubbornly store fat even when targeted with diet and exercise. for instance, some people maintain a bit of belly even when the rest of their body sheds fat. others store fat in their thighs or rear ends, while others have stubborn excess fat in their chins or upper arms.\r\n\r\nin these cases, coolsculpting has the potential \u2013 though it's not guaranteed \u2013 to get rid of that fat and make a noticeable visual difference in a person's appearance, according to the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc5236497\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">international journal of endocrinology metabolism<\/a>.<\/em>\r\n\r\nit is important to know that some people are more likely to be helped by coolsculpting than others. like the thickness of a person's skin, certain factors can make the treatment more or less effective, as people with thicker skins tend to see less benefit from coolsculpting.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting proponents also emphasize that coolsculpting removes fat for good, but that it does nothing to prevent more fat from forming in the future. if a person gets a coolsculpting treatment and then lives a lifestyle with a calorie-rich diet and little to no exercise, it's entirely possible \u2013 in fact, likely \u2013 that the fat will reform in the areas targeted by coolsculpting.\r\n\r\naccording to the journal dermatologic surgery, the bottom line is that coolsculpting is a legitimate treatment that has shown demonstrable results in a clinical setting. the results take weeks or months to show themselves, and the fat reduction is up to 25% on average.\r\n<h3>what does a coolsculpting treatment feel like?<\/h3>\r\nat first, the area being targeted by the coolsculpting wand will feel intense cold. this will last for the first few minutes. after two to three minutes, that intense feeling will dissipate, and within five to ten minutes, the area should feel numb.\r\n\r\ndepending on the individual coolsculpting wand used, patients may feel a slight pulling sensation due to light suction.\r\n\r\ngenerally, past the first five to ten minutes, the feeling is not particularly bothersome. some people undergoing coolsculpting treatments even manage to sleep during the procedure.\r\n\r\nwhen the treatment is finished, some people feel a tingling sensation in the coolsculpting procedure area for a few minutes. this should go away in a relatively short time, and most people can resume their everyday routines without further interruption.\r\n<h2>potential coolsculpting side effects<\/h2>\r\nwhen receiving a coolsculpting procedure, the skin in the area targeted will feel cold at first, though not excessively to significant pain. within a minute or two, the site should go numb, and a person receiving the procedure shouldn't feel anything.\r\n\r\nas coolsculpting isn't an invasive procedure, there are no needles or blades to cut the skin. according to\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc5396277\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lasers in surgery and medicine<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>this procedure is non-invasive.\r\n\r\nafter a coolsculpting procedure, a person can usually go about their day as usual. this marks a clear advantage over procedures like liposuction, which are invasive and require substantial recovery time.\r\n\r\nin the immediate aftermath of the treatment, some people report some cramping, tenderness, and itchiness in the area targeted by the coolsculpting procedure. sometimes the site will be slightly bruised and slightly inflamed. these symptoms should vanish within days.\r\n\r\na study by the <a class=\"editor-rtflink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19296153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>aesthetic plastic

to use.\r\n\r\nin the weeks after receiving a coolsculpting treatment, it's common to observe a loose stool or diarrhea. this is as a result of the body flushing out the dead fat cells.\r\n\r\ndiarrhea, if observed, should not be excessive or enough to cause worries of dehydration. processing the dead fat cells has not been observed to harm the liver, as stated on <a

doctor before having any procedure, even a non-surgical one. this is true for coolsculpting as well.\r\n<h3>lawsuits<\/h3>\r\ncoolsculpting has had its fair share of a couple of lawsuits due to its fda clearance and side effects.\r\n\r\naccording to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

 was involved in another lawsuit in 2018, according to ap news. a woman who received coolsculpting treatments was not informed of the potential side effects and experienced a rare \"plumping\" effects on her body.\r\n\r\naccording to the new york post, a defective coolsculpting device put the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组

rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">.<\/a> an individual undergoing the coolsculpting procedure suffered from third-degree burns and scarring. though a faulty device is in play, it is believed that the center performing the procedure also put ice on the treated area after completion, which is against protocol.\r\n\r\nin 2020, a new lawsuit against coolsculpting was developed concerning its negative side effects as a punitive class-action suit, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/mylawadvocate.com\/coolsculpting-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lou law<\/a>.\r\n\r\naccording to usa today, supermodel linda evangelista filed a lawsuit for $50 million in damages against zeltiq aesthetics in 2021. she claims she was \"brutally disfigured\" and unrecognizable after the procedure.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/this-or-that-alternatives.png\" alt=\"coolsculptingalternatives\" width=\"2822\" height=\"1446\" \/>\r\n<h2>coolsculpting alternatives<\/h2>\r\nthere are many ways to lose weight, though most involve modifications to the diet or dietary supplements. coolsculpting is unlike all of these because it kills fat cells rather than causing the body to burn them for energy.\r\n\r\nprobably the closest alternative to coolsculpting is liposuction. in both cases, they are procedures that attempt to get rid of fat cells externally rather than inducing the body to use them as an energy source.\r\n\r\nhowever, liposuction and coolsculpting have several significant differences.\r\n\r\nliposuction can remove dramatically more fat than coolsculpting generally does, as the liposuction procedure directly removes fat. coolsculpting relies on the cold to kill fat cells, but can't target specific fat cells or kill all of them. in cases where a person wants to remove all or nearly all fat in an area, liposuction is the better alternative.\r\nwith that said, liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure in which a surgeon cuts into the body. there are far more risks involved when you breach the body's integrity, and liposuction is undoubtedly in that category.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting is non-invasive and non-surgical. this means several things. first, there are far fewer risks of the body having an adverse reaction, developing an infection, or other negative surgical outcomes. second, the recovery time of coolsculpting is much faster than for liposuction.\r\n\r\nwhen weighing coolsculpting vs. liposuction, there are pluses and minuses to either. coolsculpting is safer and less of an inconvenience, while liposuction is a more powerful weight loss option.\r\n\r\nupdate: the makers of coolsculpting have released a new procedure called cooltone. <a href=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/cooltone-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cooltone<\/a> claims to tone abdominal and gluteus muscles, among others. you may also want to check out <a href=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/emsculpt-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emsculpt<\/a>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-the-real-cost.png\" alt=\"coolsculpting cost\" width=\"2658\" height=\"846\" \/>\r\n<h2>what is the cost of coolsculpting?<\/h2>\r\ncoolsculpting costs around $2,000 to $4,000 for the average person. this covers coolsculpting treatments applied to multiple parts of the body.\r\n\r\nif you\u2019re only looking to target a single area of the body with one treatment, that cost may be anywhere from $500 to $1,200. usually, you\u2019ll be paying either by the hour or for a whole coolsculpting plan as a single amount.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting costs can vary significantly both between individual vendors and also by region. it\u2019s always a good idea to get a price quote if you\u2019re considering coolsculpting. most coolsculpting facilities are happy to consult with you and develop a plan that fits your budgetary needs and fat-loss goals.\r\n<h2>coolsculpting directions<\/h2>\r\nthe process of coolsculpting is simple from the patient\u2019s end and requires very little in the way of effort or special instructions.\r\n\r\nduring the procedure itself, the patient sits or lies still while the technician applies the coolsculpting wand. a patient can read, use a laptop or mobile device, or most other portable and sedentary activities. the technician (and the wand) do all the work.\r\n\r\nonce the procedure is finished, a patient can go back to their daily routine, just as though nothing had happened. and in the days, weeks, and months after a coolsculpting treatment, there\u2019s no special instruction or series of steps needed to be followed.\r\n<h2>coolsculpting elite benefits<\/h2>\r\nthe benefits of coolsculpting are simple - a reduction in body fat, according to the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc5954866\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journal of obesity<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nit is important to remember that any fat cells killed by coolsculpting are gone for good. those particular cells will never return. however, if your lifestyle after receiving coolsculpting treatment would result in weight gain, you may end up with fat in the areas previously targeted by the coolsculpting.\r\n\r\nthere are no additional benefits known with coolsculpting treatments aside from the fat reduction.\r\n<h2>coolsculpting results<\/h2>\r\nfor most people receiving coolsculpting treatments, there will be a modest but noticeable reduction in body fat in the area targeted by the coolsculpting.\r\n\r\nthis is not guaranteed, as some people will lose a degree of body fat but not enough to make a noticeable difference.\r\n\r\non average, results should start to be noticeable within a couple of months. some have reported observing results in weeks, but this isn\u2019t common.\r\n<h2>coolsculpting weight loss<\/h2>\r\ncoolsculpting is not a primary weight loss technique.\r\n\r\nif you\u2019re looking to lose significant weight, your best bet is to change your diet and exercise routine to put yourself into a calorie deficit. this will cause the body to burn fat for energy to keep your systems running. certain dietary supplements can help with this, as well.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting will usually produce some modest weight loss as the dead fat cells leave over several months. however, it should not be used or counted upon as a primary means of weight loss for people looking to lose large amounts of weight.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting is proven fat reduction treatment. it\u2019s fda approved, and clinical studies back its effectiveness.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting isn\u2019t the answer if you are significantly obese and are trying to lose massive amounts of weight. you should turn to other solutions if that\u2019s your situation.\r\n\r\nhowever, if you have specific areas of your body where fat seems to cling despite your efforts to get rid of it stubbornly, coolsculpting should undoubtedly be in your list of options for dealing with it.\r\n<h2>coolsculpting contact information<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>address: 4410 rosewood drive, pleasanton,

a quick procedure and takes about 25 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. the good thing about sculpsure is that it doesn't require any recovery time, so you can go straight back to work or your daily routine at the end of your appointment.\r\n<h2>details on sculpsure and weight loss<\/h2>\r\nsculpsure is not a weight loss approach. instead, it is a targeted sculpting approach that targets the fat cells directly with lasers to destroy them.\r\n\r\nit is body contouring, so it is best done at the conclusion of a diet and weight loss regimen when you have reached your target weight and want to eliminate fat on the stubborn areas that are difficult to target with exercise.\r\n\r\nit is best for people who are close to their ideal body weight - as within 30 pounds of their ideal weight. if you\u2019re much heavier than this, you likely won\u2019t be able to see the results you would if you were smaller.\r\n<h2>what\u2019s the difference between fat loss and weight loss?<\/h2>\r\nthe number of fat cells stored in our bodies generally remains constant throughout our adult life. as we lose weight, the size of the fat cells become smaller, but they don't actually decrease in number.\r\n\r\neven with diet and exercise, many people have difficulty losing weight in these trouble areas.\r\n\r\nafter the treatment, the fat cells are permanently destroyed and will not return.\r\n<h2>how to use sculpsure<\/h2>\r\nyou must find a sculpsure clinic in your area. you will first have a consultation where you meet the practitioners and discuss a treatment plan.\r\n\r\nyour treatment plan is completely customizable to your needs and goals. you will definitely have more than one treatment to achieve your desired results.\r\n\r\nthe number of treatments you will require is different for every patient, but you will see the best results with a series of treatments.\r\n\r\ngenerally speaking, you will wait at least six weeks between treatments, and undergo at least two.\r\n\r\nwhen your treatment begins, you will feel a cooling sensation to keep the skin comfortable during the treatment.\r\n\r\nthe cooling will be on over the course of the entire treatment while the laser cycle on and off raising the temperature of fat cells.\r\n\r\nmany patients report feeling a deep warmth or tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment which is generally well tolerated.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-does-it-work.png\" alt=\"how does sculpsure work\" width=\"1377\" height=\"1067\" \/>\r\n\r\nafter the 25-minute treatment is finished, you are allowed to resume your daily activities because there is no post-treatment downtime.\r\n\r\ndepending on the licensing rules in your state, the licensed sculpsure practitioner may be a doctor, a physician\u2019s assistant, a nurse practitioner, a nurse, or an aesthetician.\r\n\r\nwhen you arrive for your consultation, you need to be prepared to discuss your medical history, and the medications you\u2019re currently taking.\r\n\r\nto minimize the chance of bruising, you may be told to avoid blood thinners and pain medications like aspirin or ibuprofen in the few days prior to having a sculpsure treatment.\r\n\r\nfat necrosis and nodule formation were a problem during experimentation to determine settings, but it was determined that those were a result of overtreating patients.\r\n\r\nthese appeared when treatments lasted about 45 minutes, and do not appear to be a problem when patients are only treated for 25 minutes.\r\n<h2>what areas can be treated with sculpsure?<\/h2>\r\nsculpsure is fda cleared to reduce fat in the belly, back, thighs, under the chin, and the love handles.\r\n<h2>potential sculpsure side effects<\/h2>\r\nthere are minimal sculpsure side effects. you may feel slight discomfort on the skin during the treatment.\r\n\r\nthere may be a bit of redness afterward. it may lead to stiffness, and bruise in the treated areas.\r\n\r\nyour licensed practitioner may recommend that you massage the secure areas in the weeks after your procedure to help along the recovery\/healing process and minimize the side effects.\r\n<h2>sculpsure product warnings<\/h2>\r\nthis fat melting procedure is not safe for pregnant women. not everyone is a candidate. this is why it is important for you to go to a consultation with a trusted practitioner.\r\n<h2>any sculpsure lawsuits?<\/h2>\r\na consumer fraud class action lawsuit was filed against cynosure inc., alleging the claims that it made regarding its sculpture machine marketed to help patients lose up to 24% fat in just one treatment are false and misleading, according to a report published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigclassaction.com\/lawsuit\/cynosure-nationwide-class-action-over-sculpsure.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">big class action<\/a>.\r\n\r\naccording to the proposed lawsuit, the body contouring system is effectively useless.\r\n\r\ncynosure claimed that patients need no pain medication or anesthesia because sculpsure is virtually painless since the procedure can be done hands-free without a doctor needing to be present according to the complaint.\r\n\r\naccording to the clinic filing, patients seldom achieved the results after multiple treatments. much less so with just a single procedure that cynosure claimed would suffice.\r\n\r\nthe claim alleges physicians have to increase the power to such a high level to, even have a chance of achieving results. and the complaint alleges that patients are caused intolerable pain and physicians have to remain nearby during the entire procedure to monitor the patient's comfort.\r\n\r\nin august 2019, the lawsuit was rejected since all patients have to sign agreements containing this information before getting the procedure done, according to <a

fact that sculpsure raises the temperature of the fat cells. while coolsculpting aims to freeze them to kill them. treatments with sculpture take about 25 minutes , where as coolsculpting can take anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour.\r\n\r\nmultiple body parts can be done in a single coolsculpting session. both are fda cleared to remove fat cells, but coolsculpting is approved for more parts of the body.\r\n\r\nwith coolsculpting, the treated areas must be kneaded or massaged before the patient can leave, but both treatments have no recovery or downtime, and patients can return to their normal activity levels immediately after the treatment is finished.\r\n\r\ncoolsculpting uses cryolipolysis. according to a study published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/cryolipolysis-for-noninvasive-body-contouring-clinical-efficacy-and-pa-peer-reviewed-article-ccid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>clinical, cosmetic, and investigational dermatology<\/em><\/a>, \u201ccryolipolysis has been proven to be a very safe method for body contouring and is accomplished with only minimal discomfort.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-coolsculpting.png\" alt=\"coolsculpting\" width=\"1606\" height=\"1060\" \/>\r\n\r\n\"expected side effects are temporary erythema, bruising, and transient numbness that usually resolves within 14 days after treatment. with a prevalence of 0.1%, the most common complaint is a late-onset pain, occurring 2 weeks post-procedure, which resolves without intervention.\r\n\r\n\"although no procedure has been accepted as the gold standard for noninvasive body contouring as yet, cryolipolysis is considered to be both safe and efficient with a high patient satisfaction rate\u201d.\r\n\r\nwhile sculpsure heats the fat cells to the point where they will die, the applicators placed on the skin are designed to keep the skin cool and comfortable during the procedure.\r\n\r\nsculpsure requires no suction or massaging. there are risks associated with each procedure, so that\u2019s why it\u2019s important to talk to your practitioner about your options and your health to make sure you choose the one that is best for you.\r\n\r\nneither procedures require surgery or needles, so there are no scars. there is also no need for either local or general anesthetic. redness and bruising are more likely with coolsculpting, but the swelling is more like sculpsure.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\"
