CoolSculpting is a non-invasive alternative to traditional fat-eliminating procedures, such as liposuction. Everyone can benefit from CoolSculpting treatment to address problem areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
As an FDA-cleared form of fat reduction, CoolSculpting treatment targets stubborn fatty tissue, and the patented process freezes and damages excess fat cells.
The body can then eliminate the damaged fat cells from the body over a period of several weeks. Most patients are able to see a noticeable difference in their body in about two to four months after treatment and CoolSculpting generally does not require any downtime, and patients usually return quickly to their normal daily routine after leaving our office.
Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they'd like to get rid of. The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Request a one-on-one consultation with us to determine if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. Most people require a minimum of two sessions in order to meet their goals.
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), your body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good.
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.
To prolong and protect your tan add a gradual self-tanning moisturizer to your daily routine. We do offer a moisturizer specifically designed to complement the VersaSpa experience. For best results always use products that are specifically designed for pre and post sunless tanning. Over-the-counter products may interfere with the overall sunless tanning process.
Highly chlorinated water can decrease your tanning results.
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen and thigh. With over one million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask us if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Oftentimes, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session is over.
You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months, but your body will continue flushing out fat cells for up to four to six months after treatment.
Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.
