So we’re talking about reducing treatment time with applications like Cryolipolysis. And so traditional treatments with the older types of CoolSculpting machines are associated with longer treatment times up to 60 minutes. And the newer protocols on the newer machines are much reduced. They’re about 35 minutes long. And so these newer machines have been shown in several studies to have equivalent safety and efficacy with greater patient preference. And actually I think the results, especially with the newer version of the machine are even better. What’s happening now is there’s a couple different versions of this device. And this is like having multiple versions of an iPhone. Think of an iPhone one versus an iPhone14 coming out. There’s going to be some nuances and updates that better the product.
And it’s happened with CoolSculpting. With the older treatment protocol patients would have the temperature wouldn’t get quite as cold. The suction wasn’t quite as much. And the other difference is it took more time. The other issue with this is there seemed to be higher incidences of issues. Issues of numbness tingling, and the dreaded PAH or paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. That’s the treatment that Linda Evangelista had.
So the benefit of these newer protocols is it seems to have decreased incidences of PAH significantly. Treatment times are way, way reduced. And patients seem to like it better and are seeing results faster. It’s really a combination of things. When people think of CoolSculpting, they always emphasize the cool, but an important part is the suction element of this.
Having that suction, having that contact, having that fat get sucked up. The vacuum effect seems to be really an important component of that and the newer design and the CoolSculpting Elite. So for patients who are looking at this time for treatment, it’s a really important protocol.
With our older machine, it would take longer times for treatment. We’re talking five to six hours. With our CoolSculpting Elite, and we can do multiple machines for treatments, patients are getting in and out of our office in record time. It’s about 42% reduction in time, but because we’re doing multiple treatments, it’s really about 85, 90% reduction.
So a normal six hour treatment, which would be 60 minutes per treatment. Now we’re doubling that, and sometimes tripling with the third applicator. So that’s going down to three hours. Plus the treatment times themselves are faster. So it’s like an hour and 30 minutes, to an hour and 40 minutes. So, we’re really saving patients time. It’s much more comfortable. Much more preferred. And has better results. So treatment time is super important and using the latest updated version of CoolSculpting, that’s gonna be the most important thing.
