CoolSculpting vs. Cryoskin: Exploring the Differences
CoolSculpting vs. Cryoskin: Exploring the Differences
At WestEnd MedSpa, we offer a variety of non-invasive body contouring treatments to help you achieve your ideal look. Among the most popular options are CoolSculpting and Cryoskin—two advanced technologies that use cold therapy to target and reduce fat. While both treatments are effective for body slimming and contouring, they differ in their approach and results. In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between CoolSculpting and Cryoskin, helping you make an informed decision about which treatment is right for you.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive treatment that freezes fat cells to eliminate them from the body. This FDA-approved procedure works by applying controlled cooling to target stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. The cold temperature causes the fat cells to crystallize and break down, and over time, your body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
CoolSculpting Benefits:
Clinically proven results: CoolSculpting has been extensively studied and proven to reduce fat by up to 25% in treated areas.
Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Targeted fat reduction: CoolSculpting is ideal for treating localized fat areas.
CoolSculpting Treatment Areas:
CoolSculpting can be used on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, under the chin, bra fat, and love handles.

What is Cryoskin?
Cryoskin, on the other hand, is a cryotherapy treatment that combines cooling and heating to achieve fat reduction, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction. Cryoskin uses a three-step process: cold therapy to target fat cells, followed by a brief warming phase, and then a final cooling stage. This technique is not only effective for fat reduction but also helps with toning and smoothing the skin.
Cryoskin is also FDA-approved and typically requires less treatment time than CoolSculpting. The combination of cold and warm therapy stimulates circulation and collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity in addition to reducing fat.
Cryoskin Benefits:
Fat reduction and skin toning: Cryoskin addresses both fat loss and skin texture.
Quick treatment time: Most Cryoskin sessions last between 20-30 minutes.
No downtime: Just like CoolSculpting, Cryoskin is non-invasive with no recovery time needed.
Cryoskin Treatment Areas:
Cryoskin can be used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and face for skin tightening.

Which Treatment is Right for You?
Both CoolSculpting and Cryoskin offer excellent results for non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring. However, the best option depends on your individual goals:
Choose CoolSculpting if you are primarily focused on targeting stubborn fat in specific areas and don’t mind longer treatment times.
Choose Cryoskin if you want a more multifaceted approach that combines fat reduction with skin toning and cellulite reduction in a shorter amount of time.
Whether you opt for CoolSculpting or Cryoskin, both treatments provide effective, non-invasive solutions for achieving your body contouring goals.
