It's an innovative new way to freeze unwanted fat cells, which your body naturally digests. It's a non surgical fat reduction procedure specifically targeting fat cells. The procedure is a pain-free alternative to liposuction -- and there's no downtime. Fat freezing at its finest! Because the fat cells are actually frozen and shrinked, there's no possibility of fat transfer.
It's also a part of the now famous Mommy Makeover procedure, which helps women get their body back after giving birth.
If you're big on skin care, you'll definitely love it!
If you have unwanted or "stubborn" fat in targeted areas such as the chin, the arms, the belly, or the bra area, you are a good candidate.
Good candidates are men and women who already lead a healthy lifestyle and are close to their ideal body weight, but have stubborn areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Once the frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body, they're gone for good!
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in various regions of the body. When the procedure starts, you'll feel an intense chilling of the area being targeted, and that area will typically go numb within a few minutes. Aside from the cold, you'll feel some pulling as the skin is suctioned agains the machine. Feel free to read, use your phone, or even take a nap during the treatment.
They are both approved by the FDA, but CoolSculpting® is currently approved to treat more body areas. It's also the only FDA-approved, non-invasive fat reduction procedure for the chin, making it a great choice for facial contouring.
CoolSculpting® is the only FDA approved treatment that permanently kills the fat cells by freezing them to the point where they die and are excreted from the body. Zerona uses cold laser to disrupt fat cells, meaning the inside of the fat cells leaks out, but the fat cells actually remain alive can grow back if you're dieting/exercising.
They both remove targeted fat permanently. Liposuction is a surgical procedure, however, that requires sedation or anesthesia whereas CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive procedure that does not require anesthesia or sedation. Liposuction can be used to remove larger quantities of fat (up to about 11 pounds) whereas fat freezing is a safer option for those looking to remove smaller areas of "stubborn" fat. It also helps with skin tightening.
CoolSculpting® costs about $700 per area and most people treat two more more areas per session.
Every body type is different. The procedure is effective for reducing 20%-25% of fat per treatment. Some people only need one session or one treatment on a particular body type whereas other may require multiple treatments until the desired effects are achieved.
This procudure is an excellent choice if you want to eliminate stubborn fat. However, cellulite is not excess fat but an uneven distribution due to bands which can form between fat cells, causing dimpled and lumpy appearance of the skin. In that case, it might not be the perfect solution.
If the cellulite is your primary concern, we would recommend a procedure that is designed to specifically target cellulite, such as Cellfina.
You can combine treatments to get the best results. A personalized consultation will help you decide what is best for you.
It's non-invasive, so it does not leave scars. The process does use suction, however, so you may see a ring around the area for a brief period after the treatment is finished. That's the reason why this procedure is sometimes better than tummy tucks or other more invasive surgeries.
The tummy tuck procedure is dangerous, but enables fat transfer. This is why it's used as a part of a mommy makeover procedure.
You should consult your doctor but in general, it should be avoided by pregnant women, women trying to conceive, and women who are breast-feeding.
The breasts in women consist primarily of tissue. Because it's designed to freeze and kill fat cells and not fibrous tissue, it won't be very effective in breast reduction.
While it doesn't reduce the size, it does eliminate fat, so breasts will appear smoother and smaller.
Men's chest, on the other hand, are made up mostly of fat, so CoolSculpting is more effective and shows greater promise for male breast reduction.
Also, keep in mind that you can still do breast lifts, because those 2 procedures are completely unrelated and separate.
You can still undergo this procedure, even if you're waiting for your breast lift, breast surgery, or any other type of cosmetic surgery.
If you don't want to go through anesthesia, incisions, and long recovery time, CoolSculpting is the perfect fit for you.
Yes. Body contouring is a process of using surgical or non-surgical methods to reduce fat. It targets specific areas of fat, with the goal of shaping the body and giving it more lean or defined look.
There are many types of body contouring options available today, CoolSculpting being the most popular one.
Of course! It's the first and only non-surgical fat reduction technology to be FDA-cleared for tackling double chin. It is as effective and easy as for other parts of the body. You can see results after just 1 to 2 visits.
The answer is, no. You can't eat whatever you want to after you've had CoolSculpting procedure. CoolSculpting eliminates the persistent pockets of fat that exercise and dieting can’t reach, but it doesn't replace the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Look at it more like an investment, and be prepared to protect the results by maintaining a regular diet and exercise regime.
Most of our patients feel even more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment.
Thigh lift is a procedure that includes incisions in the groin or along the length of the thigh to remove excess fat and sagging skin. It is done under general anesthesia. It usually takes 10-14 days to return to your regular activities.
CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling to target and kill fat cells in your inner and outer thighs. The fat cells are crystallized and eliminated from your body naturally over time without affecting any of the surrounding area, leaving you with slimmer legs.
It involves no downtime, injections or incisions. You can go right back to your daily activities.
Besides helping with belly fat, it actually does help with lifting your arms. Your arms will look amazing: just sign our patient forms and we can start!
No, CoolSculpting wont' touch your tattoos. It doesn't help with stretch mark removal, either.
