Are you tired of stubborn, unwanted fat in areas that won’t go away, no matter how hard you exercise or how well you eat? You may be a good candidate for non-surgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting.
The CoolSculpting procedure eliminates stubborn body fat safely and effectively without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate diet safely- and exercise-resistant fat. CoolSculpting results are proven, noticeable, and long-lasting, so you’ll look and feel great at your ideal body weight from every angle.
What is CoolSculpting?
The science behind CoolSculpting’s ability to kill fat cells is simple but effective. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than the rest of your body tissues. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively cool and freeze fat cells underneath the treatment site. The treated fat cells are frozen, become crystallized, and then die. Over time, your body processes dead fat cells and eliminates them, leaving a more sculpted you.
Reasons for CoolSculpting Treatment
CoolSculpting is an ideal nonsurgical fat reduction solution for individuals who are close to their goal weight but still struggle with visible fat bulges that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Stubborn fat can be particularly resistant to traditional weight loss efforts, especially in areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Upper arms
- Back fat
- Bra fat
- Banana roll (beneath the buttocks)
- Submental fat (under the chin)
This FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure offers an effective treatment to reduce excess fat without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Whether you’re looking to refine your contours after significant weight loss or want to target specific areas before considering other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or reconstructive surgery, CoolSculpting can be a safe and precise option.
What Our Patients Say
“I had an excellent experience and excellent results with cool sculpting and skin care! Linda, who did the cool sculpting was extremely knowledgeable and very support. She did the procedure on my “bat wings” under my upper arm and on my bra line and my results were incredible! In addition, Rachel, the esthetician, set me up with the perfect skin care system for me – including a brightening retinol. My face looks amazing – I could not be more pleased! I highly recommend!!”
Before Your CoolSculpting Procedure
Before undergoing CoolSculpting, you’ll meet with our experienced team to discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your body and needs. We will examine the targeted areas, review your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate based on factors such as skin elasticity, body contouring goals, and current treatment paradigms.
Ideal candidates for this fat-freezing procedure are those with isolated pockets of fat, rather than individuals seeking overall weight loss. If you have significant skin laxity, an active infection, or certain rare conditions such as paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, CoolSculpting may not be the best fit. You’ll be informed about what to expect, how many sessions may be needed for optimal results, and CoolSculpting costs depending on your treatment plan.
Your CoolSculpting Procedure
You can reshape your body without exercise or surgery! At Dr. Basile’s aesthetic practice, we will develop a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan that addresses your specific problem areas. Although some people are happy with the subtle fat removal results after just a single session, additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your individualized treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
With CoolSculpting’s body contouring capabilities, it’s easy to sit back, relax, and say goodbye to stubborn fat. After we mark the area(s) to be treated, the CoolSculpting applicators are positioned on your body, and the controlled cooling is applied. You may read, use your phone, or even nap during your procedure.
CoolSculpting vs Liposuction: What’s the Difference?
Health and wellness go hand-in-hand, and living your best life is something that everyone should strive for. Unfortunately, life tends to throw us all a few curveballs from time to time. This can come in the form of stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to even our best diet and exercise efforts. Fortunately, there are more
After Your CoolSculpting Procedure
One of the biggest advantages of CoolSculpting is its minimal recovery time. Since it’s a non-invasive procedure, you can return to normal activities, including work or exercise, almost immediately after your CoolSculpting session. Typical side effects in the treated area include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, or intense cold sensations that usually subside quickly, though some patients may experience discomfort or delayed onset pain in the treated fat.
In the weeks following your cosmetic treatment, your body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells, with visible fat reduction and improved body contours appearing over several weeks to months. These CoolSculpting results are long-lasting, as treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, though maintaining a healthy diet or lifestyle and trying not to gain weight is key to preventing the growth of new fat cells. A follow-up appointment is recommended to assess your progress and determine whether additional CoolSculpting sessions are needed to achieve your goals.
What to Expect After CoolSculpting
The CoolSculpting fat-freezing weight loss procedure is a completely non-surgical weight loss treatment, so you can typically return to work and normal activities immediately.
You will like what you see. In the weeks and months following your cosmetic procedure, your body naturally processes the fat and destroys fat cells that have been crystallized during the procedure. Once the treated fat cell death is completed, they’re gone for good.
