→DIY CoolSculpting Questions and Answers
* '''Is there any corresponding skin tightening?''' In my experiment, there was not enough fat loss to make a difference to skin tension. Overall, CoolSculpting and DIY CoolSculpting are unlikely to produce the dramatic overall fat loss that would lead to sagging skin.
* '''Is 'DIY CoolSculpting' the same as the real thing?''' No, the DIY approach of applying ice is different to CoolSculpting, which uses a single session applied for a shorter period.
* '''Does 'DIY CoolSculpting' work the same way as Commercial CoolSculpting?''' It's hard to know for sure, but I believe the underlying mechanism is the same. DIY CoolSculpting could be burning more calories to keep the body warm, but that would produce an overall [[Weight Loss]], not a spot reduction. Another mechanism, such as increased blood flow, could be behind the spot reduction, but that does not seem likely. Commercial CoolSculpting uses colder temperatures than removes heat at a constant rate<ref name="CryoNovel"/>, where this DIY CoolSculptinguses the constant temperature of the ice, so the DIY version may not be as effective <ref name="CryoNovel"/>. However, the DIY can be applied far more frequently than the commercial approach.
