CoolSculpting Q & A
What is CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is an effective, non-invasive fat reduction procedure. CoolSculpting helps to remove extra fat cells from beneath the skin. If you want fat reduction without surgical intervention, CoolSculpting could be a great option for you. It works by basically freezing your fat cells which can then be removed from the body by the liver.
What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges under the chin and jawline areas, thighs, abdomen, and flank. It can also treat bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, and the upper arm area.
Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
If you have a stubborn pocket of fat that won’t seem to go away, CoolSculpting may be for you. It is not a weight-loss treatment, so if your main goal is to lose weight then this will not be your best treatment option. CoolSculpting should not be performed on anyone with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. You should also discuss any allergies or recent surgeries with your doctor before treatment. CoolSculpting is suitable for both women and men.
Does CoolSculpting hurt?
At the beginning of the procedure, you may feel some discomfort. These can range from mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, and stinging to aching and cramping at the treatment site. These feelings will subside as the area becomes numb. Most clients have no problems from pain during this procedure.
What is the downtime after CoolSculpting?
Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately upon finishing your treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
How many sessions you will require will vary from person to person. A larger treatment area, such as the thighs, can take more sessions than a smaller area. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your desired results and give you an idea of how many sessions you will need.
How long before I see the results?
It can take up to 3 months to see the full benefit of your CoolSculpting treatment, though for most patients results begin to appear within a few weeks.
How long will my results last?
Because CoolSculpting is actually ridding your body of pesky fat cells your results should last indefinitely. This doesn’t mean you can’t still gain weight in the treated areas. You can gain weight in the targeted areas after treatment.
