COOLSCULPTING

The non-invasive fat reduction procedure, FDA approved with a good safety profile, and no downtime

What is Coolsculpting?

Many of us struggle with stubborn, unwanted fat like those not-so-lovable love handles or that double chin. CoolSculpting is a new FDA-approved body contouring technology that allows doctors to freeze unwanted fat bulges away in areas where fat can be persistent. It is an FDA-cleared and non-surgical medical aesthetics treatment that uses cooling to freeze stubborn fat cells in targeted areas and remove them naturally from the body.

The results are proven, noticeable, and lasting:
 
non-invasive fat reduction procedure
FDA-APPROVED, SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
once treated, fat cells are gone for good
 
NO NEEDLE, NO SURGERY, NO DOWN TIME
 

 

 
HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK?
 
 

The CoolSculpting treatment reduces fat by delivering freezing temperatures to fat cells under the skin, which does not harm the skin. The fat cells die (apoptosis) and are consumed within the body by macrophages. The body then processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells naturally.

 
 

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 
 

 

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING?
 

Not all overweight people necessarily need CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is designed for people who have unwanted fat in areas that persist even with weight loss through dieting and exercise. It is a good non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

 
Which are the areas that CoolSculpting can target on?
 

CoolSculpting can be used in order to treat body areas and achieve a better looking figure using a treatment plan that your doctor will create with you. Some areas commonly targeted by CoolSculpting include the stomach, thigh, love handles, chin, back and areas around the buttocks.

 
How does it feel like during treatment?
 

During the treatment, there will be applicators with gel pads pressed against the area you want to remove fat from. The applicators will apply a vacuum to suck the fat into the cup. You might feel a mild pinching sensation at this point. A controlled cooling jet is then delivered to the area. You will feel an intense cold sensation but you will get used to it after 10 minutes when the area becomes numb. You can feel free to do some activities to pass the time like using the internet, reading a book or watching a video during this.

 
What are the common side effects?
 

During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask us if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.

 
How many treatments will I need?
 

We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.  Most patients see results after one session but some treatment plans may require multiple sessions dependent on your desired results. A follow up appointment to evaluate your results and discuss additional sessions, if needed.  

 
When will I see results?
 

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

 
What happens if I gain weight down the road?
 

Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight after your CoolSculpting procedure, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas, so a healthy diet is highly recommended to keep the fat off.

 
DUALSCULPTING: Freeze your stubborn fats in half the time!
 

CoolSculpting is one of the few treatments that patients can opt to do quicker than what is normal. You can request that your doctor use not one, but two CoolSculpting machines at the same time. This reduces treatment time and allows you to resume your daily activities quicker.
