Are you tired of trying to hide those love handles or other areas where you tend to store excess fat? If you live a healthy lifestyle, but just can’t get rid of those stubborn pockets of fat with diet and exercise alone, CoolSculpting Oregon can help provide you with the boost you need to achieve your ideal body. This non-invasive body contouring procedure is designed to smooth out those bulges and stubborn areas of fat using an innovative fat-freezing technology. We can perform the procedure on the abdomen, hips, thighs, flanks, and other smaller areas to create the sculpted look you’ve always wanted.
CoolSculpting as a Liposuction Alternative
Many men and women bothered by love handles or excess fat around the flanks consider liposuction to achieve a more defined waistline and sculpted look. While liposuction can be very effective for trimming down the waistline and getting rid of those bulges around the flanks, not all patients are thrilled about the idea of surgery. If you only have a few inches of excess fat and are in relatively good shape, CoolSculpting may be enough to slim you down and help you achieve your ideal body shape.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical in-office procedure that can be performed without anesthesia. There is no pain or recovery time involved because the fat is treated from the outside, using a special device that targets the underlying fat cells without harming the surrounding skin or tissue. You can return to your regular schedule right after your session and can expect to see full results about 16 weeks following your treatment.
What to Expect with CoolSculpting in Oregon
The area around the midsection can be effectively treated by a certified plastic surgeon with CoolSculpting, but you may need more than one treatment to achieve the results you want. Most patients can look forward to up to a 20-30 percent fat reduction in the treated area — if you have more pronounced pockets of fat around the love handles, you may need two or more treatments to see a more noticeable difference. The fat is crystallized and frozen, then is naturally eliminated from the body.
CoolSculpting is a breakthrough in fat reduction procedures and is safe for all patients. If you have considered liposuction to lose those love handles, but aren’t quite ready for surgery, talk to us about CoolSculpting! Schedule your consultation with Dr. Daniel today.
