CoolSculpting® is a safer fat reduction procedure compared to popular fat reduction procedures like liposuction. This procedure does not require skin cutting, anesthesia or tissue manipulation. It does not take much of your time and you do not need a recovery period. You can move on with your normal lifestyle almost immediately after the treatment.
CoolSculpting® is suitable for fat reduction in the following areas:
The CoolSculpting® procedure involves the use of a special device to freeze fats underneath your skin. This fat will be eventually destroyed and disposed of through the kidney. The CoolSculpting® procedure takes about 30 to 60minutes per session. You may require just one session. However, we may recommend more than one session to achieve the best result.
You can start to notice changes in the treated area some days after your treatment. You can expect perfect results after 1 to 3 months. The result will look natural as it shows gradually. Even if you later gain weight, you shouldn’t expect fat in the treated area, because the fats are destroyed.
CoolSculpting® treatment is non-invasive, your doctor does not need to cut your skin. As such, there wouldn’t be any case of wound or infection in the treatment area. You will not feel anything during the procedure, but just a slight tugging sensation which is the effect of the cooling panels of the device on your skin.
The side effects of the treatment are minimal and will only be noticeable around the treated area. These minor side effects are usually resolved after some days. You may experience numbness in the treated areas days after the treatment. Other notable side effects of cool sculpting on the body may include; skin redness, sensitivity, tenderness, minor swelling, slight pain, tingling and stinging.
Although CoolSculpting® is a fat elimination treatment, it’s not a cure for obesity. It can only be used to remove fat in certain areas of the body. You may require a different form of specialised treatment if your concern is obesity. Aside from that, not everyone is a good candidate for CoolSculpting®. You shouldn’t undergo this treatment if your body is in certain conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or any treatment that affects the body’s ability to withstand cold.
During the consultation period, our doctors will ascertain your medical history and determine if you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting®. They will also discuss what you should expect during and after the procedure.
During the consultation period, our qualified doctors will examine your body to determine if you have any underlying condition that may prevent you from undergoing CoolSculpting® treatment.
After ascertaining your eligibility, your unique treatment plan will be discussed. A before and after picture of the intended treatment area will be taken for record purposes. This will give you a clear picture of the result after the procedure.
The treatment is non-invasive. There wouldn’t be any form of anaesthetic or skin puncturing. The treatment will be performed in a highly safe and sterile environment that guarantees 5-star patient care.
The treatment will be performed by an expert with a handheld device that has an applicator similar to the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.
At the onset of the treatment, a gel pad and applicator will be applied to the targeted area. The function of the applicator is to deliver cooling to the targeted area. The device will be meticulously moved over your skin to administer suction and cooling technology to the target area.
The procedure is less painful aside from the slight feeling of pulling and pinching that you may experience during the process. The procedure may last between 30 to 60minutes. Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will be thoroughly massaged by the medical expert to break down any frozen tissue. The massage will also help your body to start absorbing the destroyed fat cells.
Since the procedure does not involve any complications, you can move on with your life almost immediately. You can even drive back home by yourself.
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive treatment that reduces stubborn fats in certain areas of the body. The treatment involves freezing at least 20% to 25% of fat in the target area. The frozen cells will be absorbed by the body and disposed of through the kidney.
CoolSculpting® has an indefinite result.
CoolSculpting® does not suppress fats, it eliminates the fat cells. Once these unwanted fats have been destroyed and absorbed by the body, they can’t regrow. Even if you regain weight in the future, fats will not show up on the areas treated with CoolSculpting®. However, ensure you complement your treatment with a healthy lifestyle and good diet.
Yes, CoolSculpting® works on belly fat. However, its effectiveness on your belly fat depends on the type of fat in your belly. CoolSculpting® can only reduce your belly fat if it’s subcutaneous and not visceral fat.
Subcutaneous fat is soft fat that lies below the surface of your skin. They move around easily and can even be felt with your hands if you pinch your belly. However visceral fat is harder fat that lies deeper in the body. These fats are not within reach, they are attached to your organs. These types of fat can not be reduced with CoolSculpting®.
When you come in for a consultation, your belly fat will be examined to determine its type. We will also measure your belly fat even if it’s subcutaneous fat to be sure it’s not higher than what CoolSculpting® can perfectly reduce. If your belly fat is higher than 3inches, we may recommend other treatment options such as liposuction.
Fat reduction through CoolSculpting® is a gradual process, it eliminates up to 25% of the fat deposit on the targeted area. You will begin to notice results as your body gradually expels the destroyed fat cells. You expect visible results within 2 to 3 weeks after the treatment. Full results might take three to four months after the treatment.
However, you can rest assured that CoolSculpting® treatment delivers long-lasting results, it destroys the fats. Even if you gain weight in the future, fat will not appear in those treated areas.
Depending on your body goals, you can combine several cosmetic procedures with CoolSculpting®.
Although the treatment does not leave saggy skin. However, if you are concerned about skin laxity that might follow weight loss, we may devise for you a special plan that combines CoolSculpting® and effective skin tightening treatment to prevent the incidence of skin sagging following the elimination of fat.
You can combine treatments like body fillers, micro needling, and radio-frequency laser technology with CoolSculpting®.
You will notice the result of CoolSculpting® on the treatment area gradually as your body gets rid of the dead fat cells. You will notice fat reduction gradually after some days and maximum results will be visible after 3 to 4 months.
The result of CoolSculpting® on the treatment area is permanent if the procedure is done properly. Even if you later gain weight, fat will not show up in those treated areas.
