CoolSculpting vs Lipocontrast

Home » Blog » CoolSculpting Fat Freezing

The development of non-surgical methods to target stubborn areas of fat is continuously growing and multiple new treatments are launched each year.

A common discussion point for many patients who come to see us about CoolSculpting treatment is how it compares to Lipocontrast treatment.

What is Lipocontrast?

Lipocontrast is a body contouring treatment that is based on advanced Cryothermal technology that works by heating, cooling, and then reheating fat cells. The triple thermal shock then effectively kills fat cells in the targeted area, leaving some immediately reduced and others to be broken down over 2-3 weeks. Approximately 80% of the final result will be visible within 20 days.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting, also known as fat freezing or cryolipolysis is a treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy only the fat cells being treated. The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, and results are seen within 8-12 weeks. Find out more about CoolSculpting.

What is the difference between Lipocontrast and CoolSculpting?

The main difference between Lipocontrast and CoolSculpting treatment is that Lipocontrast uses a mixture of heat and cooling to treat the fat cells, whilst CoolSculpting only uses cooling.

CoolSculpting is performed at -11 degrees celsius and Lipocontrast only goes down to 3°C for 40 minutes

CoolSculpting is the only FDA approved treatment for removing fat cells permanently and this is why we only offer this procedure in our clinics.

Does CoolSculpting or Lipocontrast really work?

If you are the right candidate, both treatments have the potential to achieve good results. It should be noted, that in our clinics, CoolSculpting treatments have shown very impressive results and is the safest and most effective fat reduction treatment with over 17 million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide.
