Cool Sculpting

This FDA cleared procedure is used to treat visible bulges on nine different areas of the body. Those stubborn fat spots that simply refuse to disappear no matter how much working out you do or how mindful your diet. Using a fat-freezing technology, CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical way to sculpt problem areas such as back fat, bra fat, the jawline area, thighs, flanks and abdomen. It provides long-term results so that you no longer have to deal with ‘trouble spots’.
 
The procedure is known as cryolipolysis which works by placing a roll of fat into two panels that then cool the fat at freezing temperature. CoolSculpting is the convenient noninvasive way to naturally rid your body of fat, as when fat cells freeze, the body naturally eliminates the dead cells within about 1 to 3 months. This results in a 20%-25% reduction of fat in a treated area. It can also help to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the legs, buttocks and arms.
 
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure but is instead a tool for those already on a fitness journey to achieve their ideal physique. Losing weight does not always result in a more sculpted appearance, whereas fat reduction helps contour your body for more definition by removing resistant fat pockets. To achieve optimum sculptured success this treatment should go hand in hand with a regular fitness regime and healthy eating habits.

You can target exact trouble areas with CoolSculpting and work on these specifically to reduce fat. Our experienced aesthetician will during your initial consultation formulate a treatment plan that will work towards your unique body contouring goals.
 
Treatment involves targeting the relevant body part, which takes about an hour each. Smaller body parts such as the chin area will require less treatment than larger areas such as the abdomen and thighs, which may require a number of treatments for results to be visible. As it is a noninvasive treatment there is next no recovery or downtime so that you can even drive yourself home after treatment and carry on with your regular activities.
 
You may feel a slight numbness caused by the cooling sensation of the applicators, along with a slight pulling and pinching as the fat cells freeze. This generally only lasts between five to 10 minutes. After the procedure there may be slight itchiness and swelling which fade away quite quickly.

Results are long lasting as Coolsculpting Fat Reduction Procedure freezes the fat cells which your body then naturally disposes of. These disposed of cells do not come back. As mentioned before, the results will last as long as you maintain your healthy body weight, with regular exercise and healthy eating. But if you do gain significant weight after the treatment, then it is most likely that you will gain the fat back in the treated areas.

Even though it is a nonsurgical procedure there are some typical temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, bruising, blanching, tingling, tenderness, cramping and itching, which reduce within a short period of time after the treatment. There is also the feeling of numbness that occurs as a result of the cooling done during the treatment. This can last for a week or so or can come and go depending on the individual.
 
While CoolSculpting is safe and effective for reducing body fat in most people, there are some instances where it may not be so. If you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, then CoolSculpting is not suitable for you. It is important to give your aesthetician an accurate account of your medical history during the initial consultation, so they can give you informed advice. Let your aesthetician know if you have had any recent surgeries, a pre-existing hernia or any other know allergies or sensitivities.
