About CoolSculpting Technology
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting works by targeting and freezing fat cells underneath the skin. Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time. This process is known as cryolipolysis, and it allows for the gradual reduction of fat in the treated area, without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Benefits of CoolSculpting
- Non-Invasive:
No surgery, needles, or anesthesia required.
- Minimal Downtime:
Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Long-Lasting Results:
Once the fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good, providing lasting results.
- Targeted Fat Reduction:
Specifically targets problem areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting is effective for treating visible fat bulges in the following areas:
- Abdomen/Stomach
- Flanks/Sides (Muffin Top/Love Handles)
- Double Chin
- Inner Thighs
- Outer Thighs
- Upper Arms
What to Expect During Your CoolSculpting Treatment
During the treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. The CoolSculpting applicator delivers controlled cooling to the fat cells beneath the skin. You may feel intense cold initially, but this sensation typically subsides as the area becomes numb. The procedure takes about 35 to 60 minutes per treatment area, depending on the size and location.
Results and Recovery
Most patients begin to notice changes as soon as three weeks after their treatment, with the most dramatic results visible after two months. The body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to four to six months after the treatment. Since CoolSculpting is non-invasive, there is minimal recovery time, and you can return to your daily activities immediately.
