What is Coolsculpting™?

CoolSculpting™ is a technique designed by the company Zeltiq™. The procedure is used to ice away love handles and your lower abdominal pouch. CoolSculpting™ uses a non-surgical device that causes fat cell loss without any surgery. The concept of CoolSculpting™ was first discovered in children.

CoolSculpting™ uses an external device into which the skin and fat component is inserted by suction. The procedure takes one hour per area treated. Each session involves chilling the fat without any surgery whatsoever. There is no downtime and the procedure is painless. While results vary in each case, the patient can expect the fat layer to be reduced by 20 to 40%. The average fat loss during testing was about 20%.

CoolSculpting™ does require some patience as the results are not seen instantly. It will take about three weeks to start seeing results. This is because your body is getting rid of the fat through its own natural process. Your body could be flushing fat and you could see changes for up to four months. The most dramatic results can be seen around two months after treatment.

CoolSculpting™ by Zeltiq™ can help you to look better in your bathing suit, jeans, or any tight clothing. This procedure is perfect for anyone who is close to his or her ideal weight but needs a little help with certain problem areas. You no longer need invasive liposuction to rid your body of a muffin top, love handles, or back fat. Contact our office to see if CoolSculpting™ is right for you.
