Why Choose CoolSculpting®?
When you want to get rid of stubborn body fat, and diet and exercise aren’t working, CoolSculpting® may be the answer.
What Is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive, non-surgical body sculpting procedure that freezes fat away permanently. Unlike liposuction, there is no long recovery period, meaning you can get on with your life quickly and immediately return to normal activities.
Here’s why CoolSculpting® is so innovative: it contours your body with no surgery or downtime. Over 6 million CoolSculpting® treatments have been administered worldwide, allowing both women and men to shed stubborn fat and improve their view of themselves.
Are You A Candidate For CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is not designed for rapid or extreme weight loss. If you’ve tried diet and exercise, but still can’t shed your unwanted love handles, muffin top, double chin, or abdominal fat, you may be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting®.
The CoolSculpting® machine uses an innovative process called cryolipolysis, to freeze fat cells through carefully controlled cooling. The fat cells are eliminated naturally, while the surrounding body tissue and your outer skin remains unharmed. This procedure is a non-surgical fat reduction technique that allows you to get back to your daily routine quickly.
What Areas Does CoolSculpting® Treat?
CoolSculpting® can be used to reduce the fat cells in many parts of the body. Our patients have successfully reduced fat in these areas:
- Abdomen/Tummy
- Flanks/side
- Chin
- Inner & Outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Upper back “Back fat”
- Bra fat
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
Typically, you may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment. The most dramatic changes usually occur after eight weeks. But, your body will still flushing out fat cells for up to four to six months after treatment.
Depending on the area being treated, you may want to schedule follow-up treatments to increase effectiveness.
