Is CoolSculpting for You?
Women and men come to Dr. Clark for CoolSculpting treatments to achieve smoother body contours. CoolSculpting is a good option for those who:
It is important to realize that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss method, but rather a fat reduction technique. Ideally, candidates are within 5 to 10 pounds of their ideal body weight, but would like to improve specific areas of the body. CoolSculpting is not appropriate for everyone, or for all areas of the body. Dr. Clark will discuss whether CoolSculpting or liposuction would be a better option for your needs.
CoolSculpting Explained
To begin your CoolSculpting procedure, the targeted area is drawn between 2 cooling panels, which bring the fat to a very cold temperature. Since fat cells are destroyed at a higher temperature than other cells, surrounding tissue is left unharmed. A CoolSculpting procedure typically lasts about 1 to 3 hours, depending on how large the target area is. Because the treatment is non-surgical, there are no incisions to close when the procedure is finished, allowing for a quick recovery.
Recovery and Results
After your procedure, you may experience some redness which will diminish shortly after your treatment. In general, patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately after their CoolSculpting treatment, making it an option for busy women and men who only have a few hours to spare. Over the next few days to weeks, the fat in the targeted area will be removed by the body’s natural cleansing processes. You may opt to return for follow-up treatments for further fat reduction. Then, you may enjoy your new, slim body contours.
