Difference Between Hot Sculpting vs CoolSculpting?

Hot Sculpting and CoolSculpting are both types of body sculpting available. The first main difference between the two is Hot Sculpting uses laser lipolysis to destroy the fat cells with heat, while CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to destroy the fat cells by freezing them.

CoolSculpting uses a suction vacuum like device to target small to medium size areas on the body, it pulls the fat into the device and it starts to freeze the fat cells. The body will then start to naturally eliminate the fat cells from the body, CoolSculpting permanently destroys around 20-40% of the fat cells that are targeted in the area. CoolSculpting provides a non-invasive procedure to destroy fat cells that is FDA-approved, and is a safe and effective procedure.

Hot Sculpting is also minimally invasive, it destroys fat cells instead by using a laser beam by heating up the fat cells. The technician uses the laser on the targeted area, heats up the targeted area to produce permanent fat reduction results. Most patients see on average 1-to-5-inch reduction in the targeted area over the course of 6 to 8 treatments.

CoolSculpting and Hot Sculpting are very similar in the aspect they both destroy fat cells by targeting certain areas to sculpt the body. This is one of the main reasons these two procedures are constantly competing against each other. They both work great to reduce areas that may have stubborn fat.

Hot Sculpting uses hyperthermic lasers which help to break down fat cells and tighten/tone the area of skin. The heat from the applicator works together with the heat from your skin to cause a beautiful smooth contouring result. Not only that, but the heat also stimulates the body to naturally produce more collagen within the skin, leaving the body with no sagging skin after the treatment, but rather a beautiful firm and lifted look.

CoolSculpting provides cooling techniques in order to freeze and simply eradicate stubborn areas of fat bulges that our patients are looking to remove. During the procedure, the fatty tissue is placed in between the two cooling plates applicator, it then slowly cools that certain area and the session lasts from 35 to 60 minutes.

In the end, it comes down to patient preference on whether CoolSculpting or Hot Sculpting is better, as they both provide similar experiences, with the exception of temperature, and they both provide fantastic results.
