If you’re feeling frustrated with those pockets of resistant fat that will not go away, you have non-invasive options for getting rid of it. CoolSculpting® removes targeted areas of fat to slim and shape your figure. It continues to grow in popularity as more and more people enjoy their long-lasting results.
What is CoolSculpting® for Body Contouring?
Unlike liposuction or other invasive procedures, CoolSculpting® lets you eliminate stubborn areas of fat with no recovery time and minimal discomfort. CoolSculpting® is a body contouring treatment that uses cold temperatures to break up fat cells. As the CoolSculpting® applicator lowers the temperature, fat cells begin to freeze and crystallize. Skin and other tissues remain unaffected.
What Does CoolSculpting® Feel Like?
CoolSculpting® uses cold temperatures that will not damage skin cells. When treatment begins, you may feel intense cold or tingling. Within minutes the area goes numb, leaving you feeling comfortable for the rest of your session. You can relax and check emails or read during treatment, which typically lasts up to 60 minutes.
What to Do After CoolSculpting® for Best Results
Since CoolSculpting® is non-invasive, your lymphatic system will filter the damaged fat cells out of your body. Results take several weeks to become visible and up to three months to develop fully.
These tips can help you achieve maximum CoolSculpting® results. However, your Awaken Aesthetics provider’s instructions will detail a specific aftercare plan.
- Wear whatever feels comfortable since the treated area may feel sensitive or numb for a few days.
- Stay hydrated since this will help your lymphatic system filter out damaged fat cells.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, smoking, and alcohol.
- Stay physically active to keep your lymphatic system working effectively.
- Follow any specific aftercare instructions, such as massaging the area.
In most cases, numbness, redness, and swelling will fade within days. Fat cells removed by CoolSculpting® do not return, so your results can last as long as your weight remains fairly consistent.
What Areas Can CoolSculpting® Treat?
CoolSculpting® can treat pockets of stubborn fat all over the body. It is FDA-approved to treat these areas:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Love handles
- Upper arms
- Under the chin
- Back or bra fat
- Under the buttocks
CoolSculpting® provides effective body contouring in all these areas. One session removes 20-25% of fat from the treated area. Some people may have more than one treatment or have multiple areas treated.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Body Contouring?
CoolSculpting® is safe and highly effective for most people. Good candidates are within about 15-20 pounds of their ideal weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. You may not be a good candidate if you have certain medical conditions or the skin in the treated area is irritated or damaged.
