CoolSculpting

Sometimes the body wants to hold onto lingering pockets of fat, and no matter how much you diet or exercise, those areas just don’t look the way you want. In cases like this, CoolSculpting® may be the ideal option.

What is CoolSculpting?

Chances are, you’ve heard of CoolSculpting because it’s the number one non-invasive fat reduction procedure available. However, you may not fully realize what it is or how it works. CoolSculpting achieves a slimmer, more sculpted physique and defines musculature by utilizing the power of cryolipolysis — more commonly known as fat freezing.

Key Benefits of CoolSculpting

A safe, highly effective procedure for fat reduction
Completely non-invasive and painless
No downtime required
Achieves long-term results
Boosts self-image and confidence by improving the body’s appearance

The Science of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting was developed by scientists at Harvard and removes fat using a controlled cooling technology known as cryolipolysis. The process works by using very cold temperatures to freeze the fat cells, which causes them to die.

Fat is placed between panels, which become extremely cold. This direct coolness freezes and destroys the fat cells. Over the following weeks, the dead fat cells are flushed out of the body through the lymphatic system.

What are the Most Commonly Addressed Areas?

The most requested areas by our male patients for CoolSculpting include the stomach/abs, double chin, love handles, and the chests/breasts.

CoolSculpting Procedure Details

Before your CoolSculpting treatment begins, your skin may be marked to help guide your specialist. A gel pad will be placed on the area, then the panel applicator will be placed on top of that.

This panel applicator will deliver vacuum pressure and extreme cooling to the area. It’s normal to experience mild discomfort as the temperature becomes colder, but no pain. Most patients describe the CoolSculpting sensation as a cold, firm tugging that eventually becomes numb.

Stephens Plastic Surgery + Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, we are proud to use CoolSculpting Elite, the next generation of CoolSculpting technology. CoolSculpting Elite is able to treat nine areas of the body and uses dual applicators, making it faster, more efficient, and better fitting to the body than previous CoolSculpting machines.

Downtime and Results

There is no downtime required for CoolSculpting — another reason why patients love it. You’ll be able to resume all your regular activities immediately after your appointment. Some patients experience some numbness and swelling, but these should subside quickly.

While some improvement can be seen at one month, you’ll see the best results at 2-4 months.

If you gain ten or more pounds after CoolSculpting, the leftover fat cells can grow and expand, which will affect your results. The best way to maintain your results is to stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine.
