CoolSculpting in La Mesa, California (CA)

The CoolSculpting procedure freezes and eliminates targeted excess fat around your belly, thighs, and under your chin for a slimmer and more contoured appearance. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical in-office procedure with no down-time. It is for people that are near their ideal weight, but still have some stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise.

How CoolSculpting is performed

CoolSculpting is performed in your doctor’s office or clinic and requires no anesthesia. Your doctor will place a sheet of protective gel over the treatment area and then put on the CoolSculpting device. The device applies a light vacuum on your skin and freezes your fat. Only your fat is frozen and no other tissue is affected—this is called cryolipolysis. You’ll feel a strong cold sensation while the area quickly goes numb. After about an hour your doctor will remove the CoolSculpting device and gently massage the treated area.

Recovery and results

Most people can return to their normal activities right after treatment. The procedure is painless, though you may have some temporary discomfort. Your frozen fat will be gradually flushed out by your body and you’ll see noticeable results in three weeks to two months.
