What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that can help patients meet their body goals. It uses controlled cooling to reduce stubborn fat areas that are difficult to lose, even with diet and exercise. Treatment areas include belly, thighs, arms, love handles, back, and even double chin. Results develop over 2–4 months as treated fat cells are gradually eliminated, and are long-lasting once those cells are gone. It is not a weight loss treatment.
A cooling applicator is applied to the area you would like to “lose fat”. As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, patients typically feel a strong cooling sensation. This should soon dissipate. With some applicators, patients may feel some pulling as suction is applied. After the treatment, patients may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for approximately 2 minutes.
What CoolSculpting Helps With:
- Stubborn belly fat
- Thighs
- Arms
- Love handles (flanks)
- Back
- Double chin (submental fat)
Post-Treatment Care - CoolSculpting
The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically patients can return to normal activities immediately. Often, patients return to work directly after their CoolSculpting treatment. This will vary between people and may be dependent on treatment area. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and staying active is recommended. Although CoolSculpting does eliminate treated fat cells, the untreated fat cells can still grow. Staying hydrated is also recommended.
