Question : I was wondering about cool sculpting? I am about 20lbs overweight. Even when I weighed less I have always had a gut and and a fat chest. Seems like I only put fat on in these areas. Wondering if cool sculpting could help with these and how much does cool sculpting cost?

Brief Answer:
Regarding Cryolipolysis

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.

Cool sculpting / Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells from the adipose tissue layer under the skin, specially from stubborn areas like belly, thighs, arms and chest.
Cost of treatment would depend on the number of sessions that one would require which in turn depends on the amount of fat that needs to be shed. You may drop in at a center near you for an estimate.
