QUESTIONS ANSWERED...

What is CoolSculpting?

Answer...

Coolsculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a revolutionary new fat-freezing technique which is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive method of removing stubborn pockets of fat which may be resistant to exercise or diet: it has been the subject of over sixty clinical papers in medical journals and over four million Coolsculpting procedures have been performed world-wide.

The non-invasive fat-freezing technique utilises a process as cryolipolysis: the fat cells in your body are known to freeze at a different temperature to other, healthy cells. Coolsculpting takes advantage of this fact by applying a device that resembles a cold vacuum to your love-handles, double-chin or other problem areas, and freezing the fat cells, while leaving the normal tissue unharmed. The body’s natural processes then break down and eliminate the fat cells over the next few weeks and months. No hospital stay, no anaesthetic, no painful surgery or incisions, and you can go back to work immediately after your treatment. The most commonly treated areas include the stomach, hips, love-handles, thighs and double-chins, although almost any problem area can be targeted with a Coolsculpting fat-sculpting treatment.

What's the catch with cryo-lipo/Coolsculpting? Does it actually lead to permanent, significant results - actual fat cell destruction?

Answer...

You would need an in-person consultation and evaluation to determine if CoolSculpting would be appropriate for you. Looking at your pictures alone it seems that you would be a suitable candidate. The treatment works best for those individuals who are within 10–15% of their ideal body weight with pinchable areas of fat. Each treatment reduces fat by about 20% on average. As long as you maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle and your weight remains stable then the results can be permanent for you. We have seen amazing, long lasting results in our patients. I even had the treatment done myself and saw great results. Just make sure you find an experienced provider who can provide you with the most beneficial treatment plan.
