About CoolSculpting
Who Is A Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
Anyone who has one or more stubborn areas of fat that they are looking to get rid of to enhance their desired contour.
What Can I Expect During My Treatment?
During the treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. The applicator delivers controlled cooling to the fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to freeze. The freezing temperature, typically around -11°C to -12°C (12°F to 10°F), selectively targets fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. Patients describe a cold and tingling sensation during the course of the treatment.
What Should I Expect After My Treatment?
It is common for the treated area to feel bloated and look swollen in the first few days and weeks after CoolSculpting. You may experience a temporary dulling of sensation that can last for several weeks.
How Long Until I See Results?
It typically takes 6-8 weeks to see the full results of CoolSculpting as the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Some people may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results.
CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction: Which Is Better?
CoolSculpting and liposuction are both ways to reduce body fat. However, their similarities end there. Whereas liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure that requires cutting, stitching, and anesthesia, CoolSculpting is a relatively simple treatment that relies on sub-zero temperatures to permanently freeze, kill, and eliminate fat cells. Liposuction surgery takes 1-2 hours, and recovery is usually a few days at least. Side effects may include blood clots, anesthesia reactions, and infection. On the other hand, CoolSculpting sessions take about 1 hour, and side effects are minimal; you may experience mild bruising or skin sensitivity, but severe reactions are uncommon. Of note, CoolSculpting can eliminate up to 25% of your fat cells, and liposuction can remove up to 11 pounds of body fat.
