What Is CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a procedure that has been cleared by the FDA for reducing fat. It works by using controlled cooling to crystallize and destroy fat cells, specifically targeting them while leaving surrounding skin and other soft tissue structures unscathed. This method does not require lasers, vacuum devices, needles, or surgery to achieve the desired sculpted curves.
It is important to note that CoolSculpting® is not intended for overall weight loss. Rather, it is designed to target those stubborn pockets of fat that persist despite strict diets and rigorous exercise programs. The fat cells break apart during the process and are removed by the body as waste. With each treatment, the bulges of fat at your waist, thighs, and other treatment areas will diminish, leaving a flatter, more toned appearance.
Unlike dieting, which only shrinks fat cells, CoolSculpting® eliminates up to 25% of fat cells in a specific region. This means that once the targeted fat cells are gone, they are gone for good.
What Is a CoolSculpting® Treatment Like?
To schedule your first session, you will first need to have a consultation with Dr. Grossman. During this consultation, Dr. Grossman will explain the CoolSculpting® process in detail, discuss your goals and expectations with you, and help you choose which areas to target for treatment.
Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated. Once the CoolSculpting® devices are placed on the treatment areas, you can simply relax as the system does its job. You may feel a slight cooling sensation on your skin as the process begins, but most of our patients report no discomfort and often use the time to text, read, or nap.
After the session, you can resume your daily activities, including work, without needing any recovery time.
How Long Before I See Results?
You should not expect overnight results from CoolSculpting®. However, you may notice changes in your body within three weeks; the most significant changes usually occur after two months. Your body will continue eliminating fat cells for four to six months after the treatment.
If you plan on showcasing your new curves during a vacation or special event, we suggest scheduling your CoolSculpting® treatment in advance. Nevertheless, you can undergo the procedure anytime that suits you.
