LPG Cellu M6 Infinity vs CoolSculpting
Two leading body contouring technologies, two very different philosophies. One freezes fat cells, the other stimulates natural fat release. Here's the honest truth.
CoolSculpting and LPG Infinity are both popular non-invasive body contouring options — but they work through completely opposite mechanisms. CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) freezes and kills fat cells, which your body then eliminates over 2-3 months. LPG Cellu M6 Infinity uses patented mechanical stimulation to naturally trigger fat release and collagen production without destroying any tissue. As a clinic that chose LPG Infinity for our practice, we want to give you an honest, balanced comparison so you can make the best decision for your body.

Pros & Cons
The Full Picture
Every treatment has trade-offs. Here's an honest look at both.
LPG Cellu M6 Infinity
Pros
- Treats cellulite AND fat — CoolSculpting only treats fat
- Tightens skin simultaneously (collagen production)
- Comfortable, relaxing treatment (like a deep massage)
- Zero side effects — no numbness, bruising, or pain
- 145+ published scientific studies
- Lower per-session cost with comparable total program cost
Cons
- Requires more sessions (8-14 vs 1-3)
- Results are more gradual
- Requires ongoing maintenance treatments
- Less dramatic fat reduction per session
CoolSculpting
Pros
- Fewer sessions needed (1-3 per area)
- Fat cells are permanently destroyed
- FDA-cleared for multiple body areas
- One-and-done approach for some clients
Cons
- Does NOT treat cellulite at all
- Does NOT tighten skin (may leave loose skin)
- Uncomfortable during treatment (intense cold)
- Risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (fat grows instead of shrinks)
- Numbness and bruising for 1-2 weeks
- Higher per-session cost ($600-$1,200 per area)
Our Expert Recommendation
We chose LPG Infinity for our practice because it addresses what most of our Orange County clients actually want: cellulite reduction AND body sculpting AND skin tightening — all in one comfortable treatment with zero side effects. CoolSculpting is effective for targeted fat elimination, but it can't treat cellulite (which 90% of women have) and doesn't tighten skin. If your primary concern is a specific fat pocket with no cellulite, CoolSculpting may work. For comprehensive body reshaping, LPG Infinity delivers a better overall result.

FAQ
LPG Cellu M6 Infinity vs CoolSculpting — Common Questions
Everything you need to know about choosing between lpg cellu m6 infinity and coolsculpting.
After evaluating both technologies, we chose LPG Infinity because it addresses three concerns in one treatment: fat reduction, cellulite smoothing, and skin tightening. CoolSculpting only addresses fat. Additionally, LPG has zero reported side effects, while CoolSculpting carries risks of paradoxical hyperplasia, prolonged numbness, and bruising. We want our clients to be comfortable and safe.
While CoolSculpting has a higher per-session cost ($600-$1,200 per area), you need fewer sessions (1-3). LPG costs $150-$300 per session but requires 8-14 sessions. Total program costs are often comparable ($2,000-$4,000), but LPG also treats cellulite and tightens skin — delivering more comprehensive value for a similar investment.
For most clients, yes. LPG Infinity provides effective fat reduction PLUS cellulite treatment and skin tightening that CoolSculpting simply cannot offer. However, if you want permanent destruction of fat cells in a very specific area and don't mind potential side effects, CoolSculpting is an option — just not one we offer at our clinic.
CoolSculpting can cause numbness lasting weeks to months, bruising, swelling, and in rare cases, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (the fat in the treated area actually grows). LPG Infinity has virtually no side effects — treatments feel like a deep massage, and you can resume all activities immediately.
