CoolSculpting™ NYC

CoolSculpting how does it work?

The brand new procedure known as CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™ is one that is non-invasive, gentle, and effective in helping patients get rid of their fat in the needed areas of their body. Following the treatment, patients can expect to achieve a brand new look that will be clearly visible and most importantly, natural-looking.

Lasting one to three hours, the CoolSculpting™ procedure basically makes use of state-of-the-art cooling technology to precisely aim at specific fat bulges in a patient’s body and get rid of the cells of fat through a step by step process that does no harm to the nearby body tissue.

Does CoolSculpting really work?

This procedure has the ability to help patients reduce their fat levels by nearly 20%. If the surgeon prescribes additional fat reduction in a patient’s troublesome areas like the love handles or the back, the CoolSculpting™ procedure will be performed following a time period of two to four months. Therefore, a patient is likely to experience a total fat reduction percentage of 20%, since it has been scientifically proven that each CoolSculpting™ procedure on average enables a person to lose nearly 20% of fat.

CoolSculpting of the abdomen is one of the most commonly performed treatments for men and women. Dr. Shelton has seen in the first ten years of using CoolSculpting that overlapping applicators, often as many as six on an abdomen, provides the best results. This serves to provide a true treatment to transformation as the company, Zeltiq, has proven to be more effective than using isolated applicators. Some results are close to liposuction Dr. Shelton states, but those are the most appropriate candidates for the treatment. CoolSculpting is not a replacement for diet and exercise.

The first step of a typical CoolSculpting™ procedure involves the selection of the treatment areas by both the patient and the doctor. For example, if a patient decides to get rid of the fat in his or her love handles, then the surgeon positions the CoolSculpting™ system on the patient's side. Thereafter, the system positions the targeted fat bulge between its two cooling panels. During this stage, the patient will likely feel a firm pull. This pull force makes sure that the fat tissues will be cooled in an efficient manner.

How soon can you see CoolSculpting results?

Although one may see results as soon as a few weeks after CoolSculpting, it may take more than a month to see improvement. Patients should know that their body will be getting rid of fat cells up to a period of about four months following the procedure.
