I was looking at CoolSculpting for the tummy even despite the bad press lately. I presume there is less of an art to that?

Hi, yes technically you’d think all you have to do is clap the machine onto the offending wobbly bits and switch it on…. but strangely enough (as with all aesthetic procedures, even the ones that involve technology) there is always an art to it. Really good technicians know which patients will get good results, exactly how to approach each treatment area, how many sessions may be needed to, say, remodel a spare tyre (from the sides, as well as from the front; each treatment only freezes a chunk of tissue at a time, so areas need to be carefully overlapped to give a smooth result).

So, find a really good practitioner, then you have the best result of a really good outcome rather than an ok one.

And yes, despite the bad press it is still a great treatment.
