Incredible Results without Surgery

Despite adhering to diet and exercise, numerous patients struggle to eliminate love handles, belly fat, and other stubborn areas. For those seeking non-invasive alternatives, especially those not ready for extensive surgery and the associated downtime of liposuction, what options are available?

We are delighted to introduce CoolSculpting®, an innovative technology for fat removal. CoolSculpting® stands out as a non-invasive solution that effectively and permanently eliminates fat. The technology operates on the principle that fat cells are more susceptible to cold than the surrounding tissues. During the procedure, an applicator is affixed to the targeted area, extracting energy and cooling the underlying fatty tissue. Exposure to extreme cold prompts the fat cells to undergo apoptosis (controlled cell death), leading to their gradual elimination and resulting in a permanent reduction of the fat layer.

What is the process for performing CoolSculpting®?

Throughout the procedure, an applicator is meticulously applied to the designated treatment area, causing a sensation of cold and pressure. Notably, the process requires no anesthesia or pain medications, allowing most patients to engage in activities such as reading, listening to music, watching television, or even resting during treatment. Resumption of daily routines, including work and exercise, is possible immediately following the procedure.

While some patients may experience temporary redness, numbness, or bruising, these effects are typically short-lived. Each treatment yields a substantial 20%-26% reduction in fat within the treated area. For those seeking further fat reduction, additional procedures can be pursued. Importantly, the results are enduring as long as weight maintenance is upheld, given that this procedure permanently eliminates fat.

CoolSculpting® is most effective for stubborn pockets of fat that remain unresponsive to a balanced diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. Commonly treated areas include love handles, upper and lower abdomen, mid-back, and the bra line.

Which body regions can undergo CoolSculpting® treatment?

This procedure has received FDA approval for addressing fat cells in the abdominal and flank regions, commonly known as love handles. Additionally, other areas such as back fat and medial thighs can be treated off-label.

How does the recovery phase typically feel?

The treated area may exhibit tenderness to the touch after fat cells have been frozen, accompanied by mild bruising and swelling. Some patients may experience temporary numbness and tingling for a few days following the procedure. Managing these symptoms can be facilitated by engaging in only light activities.

At what point will the results become noticeable?

Most people notice results in about six weeks, with continued improvement occurring over a few months.

Is it necessary to undergo multiple treatments?

That depends on the amount of fat that needs to be removed and the patient’s individual goals.

Who is not a candidate for CoolSculpting®?

Individuals with obesity may be required to achieve a substantial weight loss before undergoing this procedure. Patients with abdominal hernias should consult their surgeon regarding any ongoing treatments or medications, ensuring the exclusion of conditions that could potentially lead to complications.

Is the final result permanent?

CoolSculpting® eliminates fat cells permanently, necessitating sustained results through the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle by the patient. Individuals who discover that diet and exercise alone fall short of achieving their desired shape may find CoolSculpting® to be a safe and effective alternative to liposuction in numerous cases.
