During Your First Visit
You'll meet with a CoolSculpting clinician during a one-on-one consultation. This person could be a doctor or another medical professional who has specialized training in the CoolSculpting procedure.
Your CoolSculpting clinician will take the time to discuss a holistic approach to your goals for reshaping your body. Together, you’ll look at your whole body from different angles—and then focus on specific areas where you want to eliminate fat.
Years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. The scientists—Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD—realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells.
The idea that cold can target fat cells—without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue—was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOSING WEIGHT VS LOSING FAT
It may be confusing to hear that reducing fat is not the same as losing weight. It’s all about what happens to fat CELLS.
The number of fat cells in our bodies typically becomes a fixed number sometime in our teenage years. Losing or gaining weight generally does not increase or decrease the number of fat cells. Instead, it changes the size of fat cells.
Fat Cells After Typical Weight Loss
After dieting and weight loss, fat cells get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same.
When weight is gained, fat cells get bigger.
Fat Cells After The CoolSculpting Procedure
The CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure actually reduces the number of fat cells in treated areas by about 20% to 25%.
These fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated, so they won’t migrate to another area of your body. And, unlike what happens with other
procedures, there’s no change to fat cells in untreated areas.*
THE RESULT? TREATED FAT CELLS ARE GONE FOR GOOD.
THE RESULT? TREATED FAT CELLS ARE GONE FOR GOOD.
Those stubborn fat bulges start to disappear, leaving a more sculpted you.
After your CoolSculpting treatment, you may not weigh less, but you'll look thinner. And, your clothes will fit better, feel better, and look better!
