Zeltiq® Coolsculpting
What is Coolsculpting?
Coolscupting is a cutting-edge, non-invasive body shaping treatment that effectively reduces fat in areas of the body. The completely no-downtime fat reduction procedure is accomplished by the scientific principle of “Cryolipolysis”.
This method makes use of cold to diminish fat cells in the body, thus improving the body’s contour. Coolsculpting is a great alternative to liposuction and can be combined with other non-invasive fat reduction modalities such as Ultrashape for enhanced results.
How does Coolsculpting work?
Coolscuplting by Zeltiq uses a non-invasive applicator to target and remove fat cells in localized areas on the body. The device is applied to the target area and then its starts reducing the temperature to attain the right coldness to selectively target the fat cells in that area.
The body responds with an inflammatory reaction that causes the body to dispose of the broken down fat cells. The result is a reduction of the treated fat buldge (“love handles” or “muffin top”) that appears 2-4 months after treatment. The whole procedure takes 1-2 hours on average.
What will I experience during the procedure?
When the applicator is applied to your skin, you will feel a sensation of skin suction. You may also feel a slight tingling or numbness as the cold is applied to the treated area. After about 5-10 minutes, you will settle into the procedure; most patients report that they are most comfortable from this point onwards. Patients can then enjoy other spa therapies such as massages and pedicures at this point.
Are there any possible side effects with Coolsculpting?
Most patients experience minimal side effects with Coolsculpting. Skin may appear red several minutes to several hours after the procedure. Occasionally, patients may experience mild bruising which will resolve in a few days to a week. As there is no recovery time for this procedure, patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Am I a good candidate for Coolsculpting ?
The best candidates for Zeltiq CoolSculpting are already in relatively good shape, but have some fat bulges present that are resistant to exercise and dieting. Coolsculpting is a perfect procedure for patient looking for fat removal and fat reduction without wanting to undergo a surgical procedure like liposuction.
How many treatments are needed with Coolsculpting?
The majority of patients undergo just one Coolsculpting fat removal procedure. For enhanced results, some patients undergo 2-3 total procedures for continued fat reduction.
What kind of results can I expect with Coolsculpting?
CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ has been shown to reduce the fat in the treated area by 20%. Additional treatments can reduce fat by another 20%.
