There are a number of procedures available that can help target stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to traditional diet and exercise. Two of the more popular are CoolSculpting and SmartLipo. But how do you decide which is right for you? We’ve got the answers.

How Much Fat Can I Lose?

CoolSculpting is ideal for targeting small to medium problem areas. SmartLipo may be a better option for dealing with larger deposits, where a CoolScultping procedure just may not be enough.

How Much Downtime Can I Expect?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, which requires virtually no downtime. SmartLipo is considered minimally invasive, and most patients require 3-4 days of downtime before resuming normal activities.

How Fast Can I See Optimal Results?

Ideally, a CoolSculpting regimen includes a series of treatments spaced out over a series of weeks. SmartLipo typically only requires only a single treatment.

How Much Will It Cost?

Budget is a factor for many clients. It’s important to consider total cost when comparing your options. However, because each case is unique, it’s difficult to determine the costs without a thorough evaluation from your practitioners. Your specialist should provide a free consultation that explains and compares all your options with you.

The Bottom Line: Which procedure is best?

Both CoolSculpting and SmartLipo can provide great results in eliminating unwanted fat deposits, to help you achieve your ideal look. Consult with your medically trained experts at Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Center (Summit NH and Englewood NJ offices) to discuss your unique situation and determine the optimal course of treatment to meet your needs.
