What is Coolsculpting?

CoolSculpting Elite is a revolutionary fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy fat cells in the body. Above all, it is a popular cosmetic procedure at our Scottsdale med spa that removes fat bulges and has gained popularity as an effective alternative to liposuction.

How Does Coolsculpting Treatment Work?

Therefore, the treatment works by using a handheld device to cool specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, love handles, or thighs. The targeted unwanted fat cells freeze and undergo a natural fat cell death process known as apoptosis. Over time, the body eliminates these dead fat cells through its natural waste removal system, resulting in a more contoured appearance.

The technology is an upgraded version of the original CoolSculpting system, with improved features for a faster, more effective treatment. It can treat multiple areas in a single session, and also the applicators are designed to fit different body shapes and sizes.

In addition, at our practice in Scottsdale, CoolSculpting Elite is offered by licensed and experienced practitioners in cosmetic clinics and medical spas. The stubborn fat removal treatment is safe, FDA-approved, and requires no downtime. It’s important to know that this is not a weight loss treatment but can be used to contour and slim the area and reduce visible fat.

Coolsculpting Recovery and Results

After your non-surgical treatment, there is little to no downtime. Most patients have some redness, numbness, and swelling, but those side effects often dissipate in the hours-days following the treatment. Results will show up in the weeks and months following treatment as the treated fat cells are eliminated by the body. The CoolSculpting results are permanent, and the new fat cells won’t grow in their place, but sticking to a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to ensure surrounding fat cells don’t affect your results.

What is CoolSculpting, and how does it work?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells in targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, and love handles.

How long does a CoolSculpting session take?

One Coolsculpting session takes 30 minutes. However, photos, positioning, and post-treatment massage can add time to the office visit. Several different Coolsculpting sessions can occur during one office visit. Therefore, each CoolSculpting office visit typically lasts about 1-3 hours, depending on the treatment area and the specific goals.

Is CoolSculpting a weight loss treatment?

No, CoolSculpting is designed for fat reduction and body contouring, not for weight loss. It targets stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting can treat many areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and under the chin.

How soon will I see results after CoolSculpting?

Initial results can appear as early as three weeks after treatment, with optimal results typically visible within two to three months. Complete results are visualized in 6 months post-treatment.

Is there any downtime after a CoolSculpting treatment?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately. You may experience some minor swelling, slight discomfort and numbness. These are all temporary and do not bother most patients.

Are the results of CoolSculpting permanent?

Yes, the fat cells targeted during CoolSculpting are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining results may require a healthy lifestyle, as weight gain is still possible

How many CoolSculpting sessions are needed for best results?

The number of sessions varies based on individual goals and treatment areas, but many patients achieve their desired results with one to three sessions.

Is CoolSculpting safe?
