CoolSculpting
What part of your body do you want coolsculpted? I do not know anyone who has done this but I am skeptical. From what I have read it only gets rid of 25% of the fat in the area treated.

I do not get the impression it would help anyone with loose skin. It doesn't help to melt (or freeze?) fat that doesn't have nice taut skin over it.

I think it may work for small areas of fat. There are growing reports of cases where the fat in the treated areas actually increases and it is felt these cases are under-reported. I have seen 2 in my practice in patients done elsewhere. One study indicates it may occur in 1 out of 138 patients.

My concern with it for weight loss patients is that it would do nothing to help tighten the skin, which is really the main issue after weight loss !
