Choosing Which Body-Shaping Solution is Best For You
Most people have at least one or two things they don’t like about their appearance. Don’t feel bad if you look in the mirror and see multiple areas of your body you want to change. You’re not alone. More importantly, there are things you can do to improve problem areas without surgery. Whether you have an extra roll of belly fat or stubborn saddlebags that never seem to go away, body contouring can help.
ICOONE Laser and CoolSculpting are two cutting-edge body contouring treatments. They can each help shape your silhouette without using sutures or scalpels. So, what’s the difference between the two? And is there one option that’s better for your needs than the other? Find the answers to these questions and more in this ICOONE Laser vs. CoolSculpting guide.
ICOONE Laser OVERVIEW
The ICOONE Laser device uses microstimulators as part of its patented Roboderm® technology. The microstimulators rotate in various directions to stimulate the skin, a process known as Multimicroalveolar Stimulation (MMAS). This stimulation benefits the body in various ways, such as improving lymph drainage and contouring the body non-invasively.
Many people turn to ICOONE Laser treatments to improve their silhouette’s appearance without going under the knife. The ICOONE Laser device uses suction rollers to massage the lymphatic system while improving circulation. It also uses LED and laser light to firm and tighten the skin. The unique function and design of the device allow it to penetrate deeply into the skin and lymphatic tissues. As it penetrates the deepest subcutaneous tissue layers, it helps reduce fat deposits, boosts circulation, and allows the body to drain trapped liquids.
ICOONE Laser Benefits
As one of the top treatments for rejuvenating the skin, contouring the body, and enhancing overall wellness, ICOONE Laser is a popular solution. Patients choose ICOONE Laser for benefits including:
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite
- Stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce bloating and water retention
- Improves circulation and oxygenation throughout the body
- Tightens loose skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production
- Contours the body by using suction to reduce the appearance of fat deposits
Many patients find it particularly helpful to receive ICOONE Laser treatments after liposuction or weight loss. Sometimes, liposuction and weight loss can reveal lumpy or misshapen areas of the body. The appearance of these areas may be improved with ICOONE Laser treatment.
WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS OF ICOONE LASER TREATMENTS?
ICOONE Laser treatments are very gentle and completely noninvasive. The treatments themselves are not painful. Some people describe the suction-cup sensation as unusual but relaxing. You might feel slightly warm during treatment, but it shouldn’t hurt. Although ICOONE Laser treatment side effects are uncommon, some patients may experience minor redness or swelling in the treatment areas. These symptoms usually disappear on their own.
HOW MUCH DOES ICOONE Laser Laser COST?
Cost is a significant factor when considering body sculpting treatments. On average, ICOONE Laser price per session typically ranges from $350 to $500. However, at Blue Water Spa, we offer competitive pricing with discounted bundles ranging from $1,500 to $3,000. The number of ICOONE Laser treatments will vary for each individual, but most achieve optimal results with 5-10 sessions.
COOLSCULPTING OVERVIEW
Like ICOONE Laser, CoolSculpting can help contour the body in a non-surgical manner. However, the technology behind ICOONE Laser and CoolSculpting is different. While we don’t offer CoolSculpting at Blue Water Spa, you should know all your options before committing to a treatment. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to reduce the appearance of adipose tissue and shape the body.
The working principle behind cryolipolysis is that it’s much easier to freeze fat cells than other cells. Once the fat cells are frozen, the body conveniently disposes of them. Next, it sends macrophages (a type of white blood cell) to consume the frozen cells. This process can take up to a few months to complete. For this reason, it can take weeks or months to see optimal results from CoolSculpting treatments.
CoolSculpting Benefits
In clinical studies, more than 86% of patients who received cryolipolysis treatment (such as that used in CoolSculpting) experienced improvements in subcutaneous fat1. The procedure is clearly effective at reducing fat deposits and helping to achieve a more sculpted physical appearance. Here are some of the most notable benefits CoolSculpting provides.
- Tightens and sculpts the body
- Requires no incisions
- Improves the appearance of common “problem areas”
- Reduces fat deposits
- Requires no recovery time
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. However, when combined with a healthy lifestyle, it can help improve the shape of your physique. It can also reduce the appearance of stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS OF COOLSCULPTING TREATMENTS?
Few side effects are associated with CoolSculpting treatments. Some people may feel a gentle tugging or pulling sensation during the procedure. Others describe a pinching or stinging sensation accompanied by intense coldness. After the treatment, additional side effects can include:
- Muscle soreness or tenderness
- Numbness or tingling
- Bruising or swelling
- Redness
One rare but possible side effect is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, which occurs when the targeted fat cells get bigger rather than smaller. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia can only be resolved with surgery.
HOW MUCH DOES COOLSCULPTING COST?
On average, the cost of this fat-reduction procedure can range from $600 to $1,000 per treatment session. A complete treatment on an area includes multiple sessions and averages $3,200. Factors such as the treatment area and size, number of treatments, applicator type and quantity, and geographical location can all influence the total cost of CoolSculpting.
While our facility does not offer CoolSculpting, we provide you with information on all the different types of body contouring options available. We do offer Emsculpt NEO body sculpting that is similar to CoolSculpting but provides more effective results. This cutting-edge technology melts fat and builds muscle simultaneously.
CHOOSING WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Finding the best solution can be challenging because both body contouring treatments are effective. ICOONE Laser may be a better choice if you want to contour the body while stimulating lymph movement and flow. It also works quite well for reducing puffiness due to water retention in the body.
CoolSculpting may be the right choice for you if you are a healthy weight but can’t seem to get rid of stubborn fat pockets. Whether you have a bulky stomach, back, or thigh, CoolSculpting can gently improve your physique. It does this by helping your body eliminate excess subcutaneous fat after each cooling cycle.
THE SOLUTION FOR SKIN CONCERNS & BODY SCULPTING
If you want to improve skin texture concerns like scars, stretch marks, or cellulite, ICOONE Laser will be a better treatment option. This is because CoolSculpting is designed to spot-reduce fat by eliminating fat cells. It does not target the connective tissues that cause skin texture imperfections such as cellulite or stretch marks. With ICOONE Laser, you can improve skin elasticity and firmness, reduce loose skin, and treat scars.
COMPARING COSTS OF BODY CONTOURING
The cost of ICOONE Laser vs CoolSculpting treatments can differ substantially and also impact your decision. Both the size of your treatment area and the number of treatments received can impact your final bill. However, ICOONE Laser price may be an enticing option if you are looking for a more affordable option. The average cost of an ICOONE Laser session is somewhere between $200 and $500, while the average cost of a CoolSculpting session ranges between $2,000 and $4,000.
