CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting® can often be a great option for reducing diet and exercise-resistant pockets of fat on the abdomen, hips, flanks, and lower back. In addition – thanks to our practice’s CoolSmooth™ and CoolFit™ applicators – this non-surgical, non-invasive alternative to liposuction can also be utilized to diminish stubborn fat buildups on the inner and outer thighs. During the CoolSculpting® treatment, a process known as Cryolipolysis™ is used to essentially freeze targeted fat cells, leading to their destruction. Once broken down, the fat cells will be filtered out of the body through natural processes over the course of a few months. The entire procedure typically takes about one hour per treatment area, and many people do not need more than a single CoolSculpting® session to achieve a notably more contoured appearance.
Following CoolSculpting®, most individuals experience little to no downtime, though some temporary redness in the treated area is common. The majority of patients can return to their normal daily activities as soon as they leave the office, and optimal results will generally become apparent after approximately two months.
