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.
