PHYSIQ 360 vs Coolsculpting: Which One is Right For You?
Are you looking to sculpt your body without surgery? Both PHYSIQ 360 and CoolSculpting offer non-invasive ways to reduce fat—but how do they differ, and which one suits your goals best? Here's a detailed comparison:
1. How They Work
CoolSculpting relies on cryolipolysis—a controlled cooling process that freezes fat cells, which your body eliminates naturally over time
Typically treats one or two small pockets per session, lasting about 35–60 minutes.
Common post-treatment sensations include numbness, redness, and possible bruising
PHYSIQ 360, on the other hand, uses PURE BEAM™ heat energy via superluminescent diode matrix (SDM) to cause fat-cell apoptosis, while offering optional electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) in the same session using proprietary STEP technology .
Treats multiple areas simultaneously (up to four applicators), with sessions typically 30 minutes long
The heating feels like a warm massage; EMS mimics gentle muscle contractions
2. Fat Reduction & Visibility
CoolSculpting achieves a permanent fat reduction of about 10–30% per treated area, with results visible over several weeks to months
PHYSIQ 360 also permanently removes fat cells and offers 20–30% fat reduction when used in a full series, often faster and with muscle tone included
3. Muscle Toning & Skin Effects
CoolSculpting focuses solely on fat freezing—no effect on muscle tone or skin.
PHYSIQ 360 combines fat reduction with muscle re-education thanks to EMS—and many patients experience added skin tightening, making results look more sculpted
4. Comfort & Downtime
CoolSculpting can cause numbness, bruising, and occasional tugging sensations; rare side effects include paradoxical fat growth (PAH) in 0.1–1% of cases
PHYSIQ 360 is warm and soothing, with no numbness or bruising and no downtime required
5. Best Fit Depends on You
Choose CoolSculpting if your top priority is targeted, permanent fat removal in isolated areas and you're okay with potential numbness and side effects.
Choose PHYSIQ 360 if you want comprehensive body shaping—fat reduction + muscle tone + skin tightening—in a single, comfortable, no-downtime treatment
⭐ Final Thoughts
Both treatments effectively remove fat permanently, but PHYSIQ 360 stands apart by offering additional muscle strengthening and skin improvements with a more comfortable experience and efficient multi-area sessions.
