CoolSculpting® uses cold temperatures to disrupt and break apart fat cells in areas where people often have trouble getting rid of resistant fat. This body contouring treatment can improve your overall shape with no invasive procedures and little to no downtime.
What CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® uses a technology called cryolipolysis, which means using targeted cold temperatures to disrupt fat cells so the body can remove them. Used for body sculpting and contouring, it can have dramatic effects of stubborn areas of fat that have not responded to weight management programs.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting® applicator pads create a temperature that has no effect on skin or other tissue, but causes the membranes of fat cells to denature. The body’s disposal system will clear away this debris, leaving the area more toned and slimmer.
The treatment is FDA-approved and demonstrated to get rid of up to 25% of fat in the treated area after just a single treatment. Once fat cells have been broken up and removed, they will not grow back, making CoolSculpting® a great solution for people who have certain areas of fat that they cannot diet or exercise away.
CoolSculpting® has been FDA-approved to target fat cells in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Under the chin and jaw
- Thighs
- Flanks
- Bra fat
- Back fat
- Arms
- Under the buttocks
One thing these areas have in common: a resistance to fat loss and stubborn fat that hangs on through all efforts to get rid of it with weight management. CoolSculpting® can create a contoured shape in areas where losing fat causes extra difficulties.
How Long Does CoolSculpting® Last?
Because the fat cells removed by CoolSculpting® do not grow back, your results can last indefinitely. However, significant changes in weight can affect your overall body fat composition. The best way to keep your lasting results: maintain a reasonable weight management program.
What is CoolSculpting® Like?
A CoolSculpting® treatment uses an applicator placed on your skin to induce the cold temperature needed to eliminate fat cells. You may feel pulling and tugging on the skin, a pinching sensation, and cold or tingling during the procedure, but will not need numbing medication. The procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated and whether you choose to have treatment on more than one area.
How Much Does CoolSculpting® Cost?
According to the manufacturer, customized CoolSculpting® plans will cost anywhere from $2000 to $4000 for the entire course of treatment, depending on how many treatments you need. While some people may be satisfied with just one session, some people will require two or more sessions to see their maximum results.
Is There Any Downtime with CoolSculpting®?
After CoolSculpting®, you can return to your regular activities with no downtime. The skin may be mildly red or sensitive for a few hours, but you can do anything you would normally do.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?
Since CoolSculpting® requires no invasive procedures and causes no damage to normal tissue, most people are good candidates. People who have medical conditions making their skin sensitive to cold should not undergo this treatment.
