The main approaches are cooling, heating and injection. CoolSculpting cools fat to the point where fat cells are damaged and cleared over following weeks. truSculpt and SculpSure use heat toward the same end. Kybella is an injection of deoxycholic acid, used under the chin, that disrupts fat cell membranes.
All of these are contouring treatments for a localized area on someone who is near their usual weight. They are not a treatment for obesity and they do not replace medical weight management. If what you are actually looking for is weight loss, the relevant page is the GLP-1 one, and the relevant conversation is with a prescribing clinician.
What to ask a provider
- How many cycles or sessions for the area I care about, at what total cost?
- What happens if the result is uneven?
- Am I actually a candidate for this, or am I closer to a different conversation?
