Contour your body by freezing unwanted fat away with no surgery and little to no downtime.
COOLSCULPT CERTIFIED PRACTICE
CoolSculpting® is an FDA approved, patented brand of cryolipolysis, or fat freezing. It is an in office, non-surgical procedure that, like liposuction, reduces fat cells, but without needles,
incisions, scars, or anesthesia! Using equipment developed by Harvard scientists, we gently
cool areas of unwanted fat to improve contours. Patients often spend procedure time reading,
listening to music, or simply relaxing.
Unlike with diet or exercise where the fat cells are reduced in size, with CoolSculpting®, once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good
• CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling (Cryolipolysis) to target, freeze, and kill only these fat cells.
• In the weeks to follow, these fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body.
• CoolSculpting results are long-term, as treated fat cells are gone for good.
What is the CoolSculpting Procedure?
The CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, FDA-approved, to gently and effectively reduce excess fat in targeted areas of your body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. What makes the CoolSculpting Procedure different is its advanced cooling technology that targets and eliminates fat cells, without damaging the surrounding tissue structures. Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, such as plastic surgery, the CoolSculpting Treatment is non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions. There is no need for anesthesia and there is no recovery time. It is an in-office, fat reduction non-surgical procedure that, like liposuction, reduces stubborn fat cells, but without needles, incisions, scars, or anesthesia! Using equipment developed by Harvard scientists, we gently cool areas that need the fat removal to improve contours. Patients often spend procedure time reading, listening to music, or simply relaxing.
How does the CoolSculpting Procedure work?
The CoolSculpting Procedure works by means of a scientific principle called “Cryolipolysis™ invented by Drs. Manstein and Anderson at Harvard Medical School.” During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of your body. When fat cells are exposed to cooling during the CoolSculpting Treatment, it triggers a process of natural removal, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The result is a reduction in fat bulges that is visible in most patients in two to four months. If you’ve considered liposuction, you may be a candidate for CoolSculpting. We prefer CoolSculpting over liposuction because we’ve been able to reduce fat cells while keeping smoother skin contours. It is a safe body contouring treatment. It avoids the risks of surgery and anesthesia and costs much less. The intense cold on the treatment area destroys fat cells resulting in weight loss. However, your body needs time to remove the fat cells. It takes two to three months to see the results. The following ‘after’ photos were taken three months after the procedure.
Is there downtime after the CoolSculpting Procedure?
There could be mild bruising in some patients, but there is no recovery time after the Procedure. You may resume your normal activities on the same day as your procedure. Some find it best to wait a couple of days or a few weeks before starting to exercise if you have any residual discomfort in the treatment site. Going back to normal activities immediately will depend on how you feel after the cosmetic treatment area, since many patients feel skin sensitivity in the next couple of days. We recommend a healthy diet in addition to the fat freezing procedure to achieve the ideal weight.
Am I a good candidate for the CoolSculpting Procedure?
Ideal candidates for the fat reduction procedure are within a healthy range of body weight, but have fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise. They are seeking reduction for specific areas of fat, but are not considering a surgical procedure. The fat freezing technology is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity, and it is not a substitute for invasive methods like liposuction. During a consultation, your provider can talk with you about whether you are a good candidate for the CoolSculpting Procedure.
Will I benefit from additional CoolSculpting Procedures?
A follow-up visit should be scheduled with your doctor two to four months after your procedure to assess your cosmetic improvement and consider whether you can achieve greater fat reduction from an additional CoolSculpting session. We will analyze your results before we determine how many sessions you need since each Coolsculpting patients need a unique customized treatment plan.
