What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® is a fat cell diminishing procedure created to sculpt and contour your body by freezing away stubborn fatty tissue without the need for surgery. This technique includes the application of monitored cooling, also known as cryolipolysis, to freeze fat cells so they can be naturally removed from your body in order to create a slimmer physique. At San Antonio Plastic Surgery Institute in San Antonio, TX, in conjunction with The Heights Med Spa, our highly experienced staff is led by Dr. Michael E. Decherd and Dr. Matthew Isakson. We utilize this state-of-the-art technology to help you meet your aesthetic goals. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about CoolSculpting and find out if it could be the right option for you.
Who Qualifies for CoolSculpting?
Even though this innovative technique has proven beneficial on men and women of varying age groups, those who are most likely to benefit from CoolSculpting:
- Are at or near their ideal weight
- Struggle with stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to exercise and diet efforts
- Are not interested in or do not qualify for surgical procedures
- Understand realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure
How Is CoolSculpting Performed?
After your initial appointment with Dr. Decherd and Dr. Isakson to create your treatment plan, your procedure will be scheduled. During your appointment, a specialized gel pad and the CoolSculpting handpiece will be applied to the predetermined area(s) and cryolipolysis will start. The cooling, delivered through the handpiece, will target and freeze the fat cells. You will probably feel a cold sensation at the time of your treatment, but this does not typically create pain. As the applicator uses suction to pull the targeted fat toward the predetermined treatment area, you will likely experience a slight tugging or stinging, but these are completely normal sensations.
What Results Can I Expect From CoolSculpting?
Since CoolSculpting is noninvasive, you can expect to return to your normal activities after the procedure. Most often, patients can return to school or work immediately afterward. Symptoms of the procedure can include bruising, stinging, redness, swelling, and discomfort in and around the treatment site. These symptoms are short-lived and usually fade in the hours after your session. You can expect to see results within three weeks while you will see the most dramatic and obvious results 1 – 3 months after your CoolSculpting appointment.
