CoolSculpting is FDA approved and is a fat reduction treatment used on muffin tops, love handles, belly fat, inner and outer thigh fat, upper arms, bra bulges, double chins, under the buttocks, around the knees and more. Since it is relatively new, we will answer some basic questions so clients can be more informed regarding this treatment.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. It is non-surgical and is the primary fat reduction treatment used by doctors. As a fairly recent procedure, patients often have questions about how it actually works and why it is effective in reducing areas of fat.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
The technology that causes unwanted fat cells to die was developed by Harvard scientists.
Ā
Despite diet and exercise, stubborn pockets of fat may be carried in different parts of the body. With CoolSculpting, unwanted fat is exposed to the technology of controlled cooling, these fat cells are sensitive to cold and die off. They freeze, and the dead cells are eliminated naturally from the body within two to six months or more. This process of elimination, a mechanism of the immune system, removes the dead cells as waste; it is known as cryolipolysis. The result is a 20 to 25 percent reduction of fat in the area which has been treated with CoolSculpting.
Ā
Rounded paddles, in one of four sizes, are used like a vacuum to suction the skin. The feeling is one of a cooling sensation, as the fat cells are crystallized. Other procedures, such as those accomplished with laser and sonic waves, may destroy surrounding tissue by shattering or burning cells that are non-fat. CoolSculpting leaves the surrounding tissue unharmed, while precisely targeting fat cells.
Does CoolSculpting Work?
The treatment is long-term, as the treated cells disappear from the body for good after they are eliminated. It is not a procedure to help a patient lose weight, however. Some patients have experienced a dropping of one to two sizes in their clothing and have experienced better proportions regarding their shape. As far as the scale is concerned, patients should not look for pounds to be dropped as proof of their question, āā¦ does CoolSculpting work?ā
Before and after photos show that the stomach is flatter, love handles are reduced, and hips and thighs show less fat. Wearing a bikini or a bathing suit with confidence is once again made possible with CoolSculpting.
Ā
On the day of the session, photos of the treatment area are taken; this allows the clinician to see the areas being treated. After one or several treatments, the patient can also see the change from viewing CoolSculpting before and after photos.
Ā
Some patients have reported losing an inch of their waistline, when having a treatment for the belly area. A clinical study, Cryolipolysis For Non-invasive Body Contouring reported that, āIn clinical studies, cryolipolysis was shown to reduce subcutaneous fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after one treatment.ā
Ā
It is suggested that results may not show for at least four weeks, so if it is being done for a wedding or special occasion, this should be a consideration. Because of downtime, appointments should be scheduled six to eight weeks apart.
What Is The First Step?
A one-on-one consultation should be scheduled, at which time a clinician will discuss the procedure. Learning about the areas that are a problem, the clinician answers questions and concerns. Both the patient and the clinician will discuss options regarding treatment, which is customized to lifestyle, body type and expectations. What to expect prior to, during and after CoolSculpting will also be addressed. Some areas of the body will only need a single session, while others may require additional sessions for added reduction of fat.
What Can Be Expected?
It is common that the treated area can have the following:
- Mild bruising
- Slight swelling
- Itching
- Tingling
- Tenderness
- Numbness
Ā
This will be in the first few days after a treatment. It will vary with the individual person that has been treated. Most of the clients return to their normal routine immediately after the procedure, so there is little downtime to be expected.
Ā
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled 8 to 10 weeks after the first appointment in order to assess results. At this time it will be determined if more treatments are recommended for the area that was treated.
Is Coolsculpting Safe?
Compared to surgical treatments, the risk is low. Contour irregularities, such as seen in liposuction, can occur. One complication that has been noted is that numbed nerves can feel as though they have fallen asleep; this can last for weeks or more. Most numbness resolves within 14 days. Swelling is minimal, and there are no wounds from this procedure. As far as safety, the doctor will discuss any further risks and can answer questions. Individual results will vary, so a consultation is necessary.
