What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is the ultimate solution to get rid of fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise alone. You’ll have a slim and sleek figure from this fat-freezing and fat reduction process in just a few weeks. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring treatment with the ability to reduce body fat by roughly 15- 20% in a designated treatment area. Treatment areas of fat reduction on the face are the jawline (submandibular) and under the chin (submental). For the body, CoolSculpting treats the abdomen, flanks, back or bra fat, thighs, under the buttocks, and the upper arms.

How It Works

Saying farewell to stubborn fat is effortless with our soothing CoolSculpting procedure. Using FDA-approved cooling technology, an applicator is applied to your targeted area, focusing on eliminating the underlying fat cells. When fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, the cells are damaged. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting technology delivers precisely controlled cooling to effectively target the fat cells under the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen) and subsequently expire. With time, your body naturally processes the fat and disposes of these dead cells, revealing a more sculpted you. Leaving you with both measurable and visible results.

Relax by reading, checking emails, or even taking a nap during the treatment. Experience the change as your body naturally processes and eliminates fat cells over the weeks and months following the treatment. CoolSculpting produces proven, visible, and enduring results, ensuring you look and feel fantastic from every angle.

Where does the fat go?

The frozen fat cells become crystallized, then die. The dead fat cells then are naturally processed/eliminated by your body. Some patients wonder if the results are permanent. CoolSculpting results are long term because those fat cells, and that fat bulge, are gone for good.

Who are the best candidates for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting body contouring treatment is best for people who want to eliminate excess fat in specific areas of the face and body. Keep in mind, it’s not a weight loss solution, like gastric bypass as a weight loss surgery. People who choose CoolSculpting often want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, should be in good health, and near their ideal body weight.

How long until the results?

After a CoolSculpting treatment, the changes in the body will be seen in as little as a few weeks. More dramatic results will be noticed at the two month mark, and for a few months after the treatment, as the body flushes away unwanted fat cells.

What is recovery like?

The best part of CoolSculpting is that there is little to no downtime. There may have a bit of redness or soreness in the treated areas, but most people resume their normal activities right away.

We also recommend that you use ALASTIN Skincare TransFORM Body Treatment. This daily skincare treatment will help firm up and tighten any skin and is perfect for a post treatment beauty routine.

Will I need supplements?

After your CoolSculpting treatment, no special supplements are required. You won’t need to change any of your lifestyle habits because it’s not a diet and exercise program. Many people do feel more motivated to take good care of themselves after a CoolSculpting treatment. They look better, they feel better, and they want to keep their reshaped body healthy.

Maintenance after the initial treatment?

It’s a good idea to wait a few months after the first treatment to see the results. If you need a second session, we’re happy to schedule that for you.

What are the chances of PAH? Tell me more.

PAH is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This is an adverse side effect that happens in 0.005 % of patients, or about 1 in 20,000. It’s where hard bulges of raised fatty tissue form in the treatment areas and aren’t flushed away. Based on data from the manufacturer, it’s something that is very rare and unlikely to happen.
