CoolSculpting® vs. FunSculpting® in Wisconsin: A Comparison of Body Contouring Procedures
Thinking about reducing stubborn fat in Wisconsin? You've likely heard of CoolSculpting® and FunSculpting®—but how do they compare? Both are body contouring procedures designed to help you achieve a slimmer silhouette, but they work in distinct ways. Let's explore the key differences so you can make an informed decision about which procedure might be right for you.
CoolSculpting®: The Non-Invasive Fat Freezing Procedure
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis (fat freezing). This process targets and destroys fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates over time.
FDA Clearance: Approved in 2010 for non-surgical fat reduction.
Procedure: A specialized device cools targeted fat cells to a temperature that triggers their breakdown.
Treatment Areas: Abdomen, thighs, flanks, back, arms, chin, and other areas.
FunSculpting®: A Minimally Invasive Fat Removal Procedure
FunSculpting® is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure performed under local anesthesia. It allows for precise fat removal and body contouring during the procedure.
FDA Clearance: Cleared in 2013 for minimally invasive fat removal.
Procedure: A small cannula is inserted under the skin, using oscillating technology to break up and remove fat cells from the targeted area.
Treatment Areas: Abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, chin, and areas requiring detailed sculpting.
Safety Comparison: What to Expect
Both CoolSculpting® and FunSculpting® are FDA-cleared and considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced provider. However, they have different potential side effects:
CoolSculpting® Risks: Temporary numbness, swelling, and bruising are common. In rare cases, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (an unexpected increase in fat) may occur.
FunSculpting® Risks: As a minimally invasive procedure, FunSculpting® involves small incisions, which carry a small risk of infection, bruising, or swelling. Because it's performed under local anesthesia, it avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia.
It's important to discuss your individual risk factors and concerns with your provider during a consultation.
Pricing: Understanding the Investment
The cost of both CoolSculpting® and FunSculpting® varies depending on several factors, including the provider, location, and the specific treatment area.
CoolSculpting®: Prices typically range from $600 to $1,500 per treatment. Multiple sessions are often recommended to achieve optimal results, and package deals may be available. Typical final costs are $600 to $6,000
FunSculpting®: Because FunSculpting® often achieves desired results in a single session, costs at Blue Wolf range from $3,000 to $6,500. Link to Blue Wolf Transformation Pricelist
A personalized consultation is the best way to determine the exact cost for your individual needs.
Results: What to Expect and When
The timeline for seeing results differs between the two procedures:
CoolSculpting® Results: Full results from CoolSculpting® typically become visible over 2-3 months as the body gradually eliminates the frozen fat cells. Some patients may choose to have multiple treatment sessions to achieve their desired outcome.
FunSculpting® Results: Many patients see noticeable improvements immediately following their FunSculpting® procedure. Results will continue to refine over the following weeks as any swelling subsides. See examples of Blue Wolf Transformations results HERE.
Your provider can help you understand what results you can realistically expect from each procedure.
Which Body Contouring Procedure is Right for You?
Choosing between CoolSculpting® and FunSculpting® depends on your individual preferences, goals, and lifestyle.
Choose CoolSculpting® if: You prefer a completely non-invasive treatment and are comfortable with a gradual timeline for seeing results.
Choose FunSculpting® if: You desire more immediate, noticeable fat reduction and body contouring with a minimally invasive approach.
