How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
This distinctive procedure, developed by renowned Harvard scientists, employs a precise cooling technique to eliminate fat cells beneath the skin. Known as cryolipolysis, this process crystallizes fat cells through controlled cooling, safely eliminating them without harm to adjacent cells or tissues. The result is a more toned and sculpted appearance.
Benefits of a CoolSculpting® Treatment
CoolSculpting® is a proven and non-surgical solution for removing unwanted fat in areas that cannot be fixed by diet and exercise alone. This fat-freezing procedure effectively reduces fat in stubborn areas, taking one to three hours to complete with no incisions or needles. It is painless and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately after treatment. The best part is that the results are permanent; once the fat is destroyed, it is gone for good without harm to your skin.
CoolSculpting® vs. Other Treatments
CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive and nonsurgical procedure that uses cryolipolysis technology to target, freeze, and kill fat cells. Emsculpt Neo is a nonsurgical treatment that targets excess body fat but also improves muscle definition and tone, offering additional cosmetic enhancements. Liposuction is a surgical technique skillfully performed by Dr. Lee B Danial to sculpt and eliminate unwanted fat, resulting in an enhanced physique that complements your healthy lifestyle.
What To Expect Before A CoolSculpting® Treatment
During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your objectives with one of our Certified Advanced Estheticians and seek clarification on any concerns you may have regarding the procedure. Additionally, we will provide recommendations to facilitate a thorough assessment of the areas that can be treated to effectively align with your goals.
What To Expect During A CoolSculpting® Treatment
During the CoolSculpting® procedure, a cooling applicator will be strategically applied to target and freeze unwanted fat in problem areas. CoolSculpting® is typically utilized for small, isolated regions of adipose tissue, such as love handles or muffin tops.
What To Expect After A CoolSculpting® Treatment
After a CoolSculpting® treatment, patients can immediately resume their routine. However, depending on the individual, there may be temporary discomfort such as redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, itching, or tingling.
In each treated area, patients typically experience a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat. Results usually appear within two to three weeks, but significant changes may take up to three months. For complete results, it may take up to six months, as the body needs time to naturally eliminate the treated fat cells.
CoolSculpting® results are long-lasting, but patients should maintain their contouring results with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Is CoolSculpting® a safe and effective alternative to surgical liposuction?
CoolSculpting® has been proven to deliver promising results with a lower risk of complications compared to traditional liposuction. Moreover, it offers a non-surgical option for achieving the desired body shape without any needles, incisions, or downtime.
Who is a suitable candidate for CoolSculpting, and what areas of the body can it target?
CoolSculpting® offers an ideal treatment option for both men and women with stubborn pockets of body fat resistant to diet and exercise. It is an alternative to surgical fat reduction, with minimal recovery time. This innovative treatment targets the arms, bra rolls, flanks (love handles), abdomen, inner thighs, and knees.
Are there any specific BMI or weight restrictions for individuals considering CoolSculpting®?
It is generally advised that patients should strive to achieve or be near their ideal body weight before undergoing treatment. This is primarily because CoolSculpting® is intended for targeted fat reduction purposes, as opposed to being a method for weight loss.
What are the common areas of the body where CoolSculpting® is typically used?
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges on a wide range of body areas, including under the chin and jawline, abdomen and flanks, along the bra line and back, underneath the buttocks, thighs, and upper arms.
How does CoolSculpting® differ from other non-invasive fat reduction treatments, like lipolaser or radiofrequency devices?
CoolSculpting®, a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, sets itself apart from other popular treatments like lipo laser or radiofrequency devices through its unique and advanced technology. Unlike other treatments that use heat or light to destroy fat cells, CoolSculpting® uses a patented cooling process called cryolipolysis. This process targets the fat cells specifically, freezing them and eventually causing them to die naturally and be eliminated by the body. Because of this precision, the results from CoolSculpting® are more accurate and long-lasting. Additionally, CoolSculpting® requires no anesthetic or downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities post-treatment. CoolSculpting® is a safe, FDA-approved option for those seeking a non-surgical fat reduction, offering a better alternative for patients looking to avoid invasive surgery or extensive recovery time.
What can I expect during a CoolSculpting® treatment session, and is it comfortable or pain-free?
Our highly skilled technicians in Eugene will carefully apply the CoolSculpting® applicators to the designated areas. Throughout the treatment, you may experience a mild pulling or pinching sensation; however, rest assured that it is entirely bearable and comfortable. The session duration varies based on the number of areas undergoing treatment and may require hours for multiple areas.
What results can I anticipate after completing a CoolSculpting® treatment program, and how long do they last?
Within two weeks of treatment, many patients notice a significant difference in the volume of fat in treated areas. However, It takes two months for the full results to become apparent. The fat cells that were frozen during treatment are permanently eliminated.
Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with CoolSculpting® treatment?
CoolSculpting® is a safe, low-risk procedure with minimal side effects. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary numbness or tingling, which resolves independently.
Can I resume regular activities immediately after a CoolSculpting® session, or is there any downtime?
CoolSculpting® in Eugene offers a significant advantage – zero downtime. Patients can effortlessly resume their regular routines right after treatment.
Is CoolSculpting® treatment covered by insurance, or is it typically considered an out-of-pocket expense?
CoolSculpting® is classified as an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance, thus rendering it an out-of-pocket expense.
Can CoolSculpting® be combined with other fat-reduction therapies or treatments?
Consider Emsculpt Neo as one option. It utilizes radiofrequency and electromagnetic energy to burn fat and build muscle. Alternatively, the Emsculpt Classic employs electromagnetic pulses to trigger muscle contractions and tone muscles. These treatments can complement CoolSculpting® by targeting different body areas and contributing to the desired look.
Are there any age restrictions or specific considerations for individuals seeking CoolSculpting® treatment?
CoolSculpting® has received FDA approval for individuals 18 years of age or older. While age is not a determining factor, certain health conditions may affect your eligibility for the treatment.
Can CoolSculpting® help with weight loss, or is it primarily for body contouring?
CoolSculpting® is primarily for body contouring and best suited for individuals in good overall physical and mental health. They should have already achieved their ideal body weight but are still dealing with stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise
Are there any limitations to CoolSculpting® in terms of the amount of fat that can be targeted in a single session?
During each session, it is possible to reduce the number of treated fat cells by approximately 20%. Subsequent treatments augment the outcome, effectively eliminating an additional 20% of the treated fat cells per session.
Can CoolSculpting® be used to target multiple areas of the body during a single treatment session?
At The SpaSide at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we offer DualSculpting, an advanced technique that utilizes two simultaneous CoolSculpting® machines, resulting in a shorter treatment duration. By effectively doubling the treatment capacity, we can target two areas concurrently, allowing you to attain your desired outcomes sooner and with fewer overall treatment sessions.
