Am I A Candidate for CoolSculpting?
Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are individuals who are near their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Those seeking nonsurgical fat reduction to target specific areas of unwanted fat may also be good candidates. However, individuals with larger fat deposits or more extensive body contouring goals may benefit from traditional liposuction. Our team can evaluate each patient's concerns and determine whether CoolSculpting is the right choice for their desired results.
how is coolsculpting performed?
The areas of the body being treated will be carefully frozen to a controlled temperature for a set amount of time by the hand-held CoolSculpting device. Most patients feel intense cold and pressure at first, but then they are able to relax through the rest of the treatment. After the procedure, patients may experience redness, swelling, bruising, and other temporary side effects. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for the body to start eliminating the fat cells, but patients see clear, dramatic results around two months after the procedure.
What Can I Expect After CoolSculpting?
After your CoolSculpting treatment, your body gradually processes and eliminates the frozen fat cells, resulting in a permanent reduction of treated fat cells. Mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, but these effects are typically temporary, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment. While CoolSculpting results are not immediate, you may begin noticing subtle changes within 3–4 weeks, with more visible improvements developing around two months. Your body continues flushing out the treated fat cells for approximately 4–6 months, with the most noticeable body contouring results appearing over several months.
how much does coolsculpting cost?
CoolSculpting is priced based on the areas treated and how many sessions will be needed to achieve the patient’s goals. A treatment plan and pricing will be discussed during the initial consultation.
