Cool Shaping vs. Belkya®: Which is Better?
CoolSculpting® fat removal or “cool shaping,” as some patients call it, and Belkya® work differently. Cool shaping with fat freezing uses cold to freeze fat cells, which are then broken down and flushed out of the body. Belkya® contains deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that breaks down dietary fat. This injectable is only designed for double chin fat or submental fat, unlike CoolSculpting® or cool shaping, which can be used on multiple areas of the body.
Both Belkya® and cool shaping break down fat for good and it cannot return after it has been dissolved. Both treatments are effective for reducing stubborn fat, but Belkya® may require multiple sessions for optimal results, while cool shaping typically requires fewer sessions and may be better suited for larger treatment areas. CoolSculpting® can only reduce pockets of fat below the chin that can fit into the applicator so it may not be as effective if there is too little or too much fat for the applicator to apply suction to. Belkya® can work on pockets of fat that may be too small for CoolSculpting®. Both treatments have varying side effects and recovery times.
