Allergan Aesthetics equipment: what to know before you buy
Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, is best known for Botox Cosmetic and Juvederm; its equipment line is CoolSculpting. Our catalog covers CoolSculpting Elite, the current cryolipolysis system, with a full profile. Its running cost is prepaid treatment cards for every cycle, and its main safety question is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, so price both before you compare body-contouring quotes.
Three checks before you buy
- Price treatment cards per cycleEach cycle uses card credits, and patients often need several cycles per area. Get Solo and Dual card prices and volume terms in writing.
- Plan for paradoxical hyperplasiaIt is rare, but correction needs surgery. Build it into consent, follow-up and a referral path before launch.
- Check used-system supportBefore you buy used, ask Allergan whether it will sell treatment cards and provide service for that system.

Elite runs two applicators at once and launched with seven C-shaped applicators. A 2024 FDA record added the S180 applicator and Wi-Fi.
How common is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia?
