CoolSculpture

CoolSculpture is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of your body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas.

The demand for fat sculpture treatments is at an all-time high; it’s called stubborn fat for a reason, after all! As we age, our metabolism slows down, meaning fat accumulates faster around our waists, stomachs, legs and arms.
Excess body fat pockets can be a problem for both men and women, and no matter how much effort you put into healthy eating and exercising, it’s often virtually impossible to loose that stubborn extra fat.

This procedure involves no surgery, no incisions, no needles and no anesthesia. There is no need to take pills or supplements after this treatment and there is no recovery time, meaning you can return to your normal life right away!

While everybody can use CoolSculpture, it has proved to be more effective at treating smaller pockets of fat, as opposed to people with larger amounts of fat to lose. CoolSculpture works in many parts of the body including stomach, flanks, waist, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms and calves.

How does it work

Research has shown that fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than other tissues in our bodies, and therefore that prolonged and controlled tissue cooling can naturally and selectively reduce fat cells without surrounding damage.

We use an applicator to evenly distribute cooling, removing stubborn fat cells. The applicator lowers the treatment, effectively freezing and killing the fat cells beneath the skin. Because of the temperature control, no other cells in your body or skin are affected, making it completely safe. The frozen fat cells crystallize and die, and are then absorbed. Your body transports the fat cells to the lymphatic system, where your liver processes them as waste. The cells are then released naturally, never to return again.

After a treatment, up to 28%-30% of fat cells are destroyed. You will see noticeable results as your new body shape appears between one to three months after treatment. As long as you maintain diet and exercise, these results should be permanent.

Once the natural body discharge process is initiated your body will then break down the fat cells continuously over the 6 to 12 weeks.

Will it hurt?

Patients have said they found the cooling uncomfortable initially, but they become accustomed to the sensation after the first 10 minutes. The level of discomfort depends on the tissue stretch – the less tissue is pulled, the less the discomfort.

Since the procedure is non-invasive, you can expect minimal discomfort! Side effects following the treatment are also minimal. You may experience some symptons that may last for up to a few days or a few weeks. They may include temporary redness, numbness, tingling, swelling, bruising and some pain.
