CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat freezing treatment that targets stubborn fat cells beneath the skin by delivering precise and controlled cooling to the area, helping to reduce fat. The treatment lasts 35 minutes per session. Depending on the area of treatment, you may be able to complete your treatment in one visit however, this is determined at your consultation. The treatment requires no surgery. You will only feel an intense cold / numb feeling which won’t feel uncomfortable as your body adjusts. After your CoolSculpting treatment, you can return to normal activities, unlike other fat removal methods.
CoolSculpting is FDA approved in the following areas of the body:
- Abdomen
- Thigh
- Bra Fat
- Double Chin
- Flanks/Side
- Upper Arms
CoolSculpting treatment uses applicators that vary in size and shape depending on the area being targeted. The available applicators are Advantage plus, Cool Advantage, Advantage Petite, Cool Mini, and the Coolsmooth Pro. This might sound like a lot of options, but in safe hands, an expert will be able to explain to you your treatment plan and how the applicators are used for your specific body goals. Before starting any treatments, you will have a consultation. This is where you can see if the clinic provides all applicators that the practitioner would require for your goals. These applicators have different prices and areas that they can and cannot treat.
Depending on the area and your ultimate goal, the number of CoolSculpting treatments you require can vary for every client. It is essential to understand that the treatment is not a substitute for weight loss, diet, and exercise. An ideal candidate would be someone close to their ideal weight and looking for a boost to their current physique. These factors can help reduce body fat and achieve your body goals. Approximately three months post-treatment, you can expect a 25-30% fat reduction. If you want to improve this area further, the practitioner can assess the next step that would be most safe and effective. When opting for CoolSculpting, keep in mind that there needs to be enough fat in the area for the applicator to createsuction on the targeted area and treat the fat cells.
After your CoolSculpting treatment, you may notice results from the treatment within a few weeks after your treatment. This is a great sign, but it does take three months after your treatment to see optimal results. This gives enough time for the body to dispose of the dead fat cells and adjust. Find a clinic that has experience and client results to hand so they can work closely with you to understand your goals and achieve the best results from your CoolSculpting treatment. If the clinic provides other treatments, this can be helpful if you are looking for a more defined and toned look that you cannot achieve from diet and exercise alone.
