What is CoolSculpting®?
Coolsculpting@ is an FDA approved procedure. Targeted cooling, or Cryolipolysis(TM), safely eliminates stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. While the fat cells freeze and die, the surrounding skin and tissue are spared from injury. The body then gradually eliminates the dead fat cells over time. The most dramatic results typically occur around 3 months, though some patients report noticing a difference after a few weeks.
Am I a Candidate for CoolSculpting?
Typically, good candidates for CoolSculpting are of a healthy weight but just have a few extra pounds of fat that they want to get rid of. Additionally, patients who are good candidates for CoolSculpting also don’t smoke, aren’t pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, and are generally healthy. During your initial consultation, your CoolSculpting specialist will be able to determine whether or not CoolSculpting is right for you.
How Long Does It Take to Freeze Fat?
Session times vary depending on what and how many areas you are treating that day. Treatment cycles take anywhere from 35-75 min to complete. In order to know exact times, a free detailed consultation will be performed prior to treatment.
How Much Does CoolSculpting® Cost?
Each person’s body fat presents differently, therefore a hands-on evaluation with our CoolSculpting® specialist is necessary to determine cost of treatment. Our consultations are no pressure and completely free!
It used to be that liposuction was the only type of body contouring procedure that was available to patients. However, times have luckily changed and there’s a new non-invasive, FDA approved procedure that can help get rid of stubborn, unwanted fat: CoolSculpting
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting technology works by freezing targeted fat cells and killing them. Once the fat cells have been frozen, your body will naturally eliminate them over the process of several months; leaving you with a slimmer looking physique.
What Should I Do to Prepare for Treatment?
The good news about CoolSculpting is that there really isn’t much you have to do to prepare for treatment. On average, we encourage patients to quit smoking several weeks before treatment and to not take any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen for at least 24 hours before the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?
The biggest benefit of CoolSculpting is that it gives patients real results every time. And, because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure you won’t have to worry about any sort of surgery or recovery time. Additionally, because CoolSculpting destroys the fat in the body, it permanently gets rid of it.
How Long is Each Cycle? How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Each cycle takes about 35-75 minutes depending on the area that’s being targeted. The amount of sessions needed will be discussed with you during your consultation. Treatment times vary based off of applicators used. During the first treatment, only about 20-25% of the fat will be affected and so it may require multiple treatments.
