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.Read More
