Freeze fat for good with this popular body contouring treatment.
While there is a time and place for cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, there are many alternative options that provide subtler but still pretty dramatic results these days. If you want to avoid going under the knife, CoolSculpting is a fantastic and non-invasive way for our Tustin, CA, dermatologists to remove unwanted fat from the body to get the shape you want.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved body contouring treatment that targets those areas that no amount of kickboxing classes seems to get rid of (you know what we’re talking about). In essence, CoolSculpting works by freezing and destroying fat cells in certain areas of the body. During your session, a handheld device is suctioned to the skin. While attached, the device delivers cooling technology to cause irreparable damage to fat cells. One session usually takes about 30 minutes.
What Problems Can Coolsculpting Treat?
Any area of the body with some unwanted fat can benefit from CoolSculpting. This includes,
- Upper arms and the bra line
- Double chin
- Back
- Stomach
- Sides or “love handles”
- Thighs
- Buttock
Try the “pinch” test: If you can pinch a decent layer of fat in certain areas, then more than likely, our Tustin, CA, dermatologists can treat it with CoolSculpting.
When Will I See Results From Coolsculpting?
It will take time for the fat cells to break down and be reabsorbed by the body’s lymphatic system. You should see results about four weeks after treatment, with the most visible results occurring within two months. The body will continue to reabsorb these fat cells for up to six months after CoolSculpting treatment. The good news is that once these fat cells are destroyed, they can’t return.
How Long Does Coolsculpting Take?
Your CoolSculpting sessions range from 35-60 minutes, depending on which areas you wish to treat and how much fat you are looking to have removed.
Is There a Recovery Period?
One of the most significant benefits of CoolSculpting is that you can leave our office after your session and immediately return to your routine. There is no downtime or recovery period associated with this cosmetic treatment.
