CoolSculpting® is a great choice for people who are looking for permanent fat loss without the invasive nature or expense of surgical procedures like liposuction.  The benefits of CoolSculpting® include:

– Clinically proven fat loss – it has been proven to reduce fat in the treated area by up to 21%.

– No downtime or recovery time – due to the non-invasive nature of a CoolSculpting® treatment there is no need for incisions, sutures, injections or anesthesia making the downtime and recovery markedly different from surgical procedures such as facelifts, tummy tucks and liposuction.

– Easy – again, because of its non-invasiveness, CoolSculpting® procedures are easy for the client – they can spend the time reading, answering emails or even napping.

– Minimal to no pain – CoolSculpting® is, in the main, pain free but people may experience some pulling, tugging and/or mild pinching as the fatty tissue is suctioned into the applicator. Some people may also find the intense cold uncomfortable to start with but as the area numbs this usually subsides.  Any sensations experienced during the procedure are minor, and many people find the sessions relaxing.

– Clearly visible results after 8 weeks – most people can see results 2 months after a CoolSculpting® treatment but it may take up to six months to see the full effects as it can take the body that long to finish flushing out the dead fat cells.

– Versatile – CoolSculpting® is FDA-approved to treat multiple areas of the body, namely the stomach, bra fat, back fat, thighs, flanks, upper arms, chin, and buttocks. In addition, it is possible to treat more than one area at a time meaning the results will appear that much quicker.

– Price – a CoolSculpting® treatment costs in the region of $2,000-$4,000 whereas, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the cost for liposuction in 2020 was upwards of $3,600 – which didn’t include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses.

CoolSculpting®, the brand name for cryolipolysis, was first approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in 2010 for the treatment of stubborn excess fat on the flanks (“love handles”).  It was further approved for use on the stomach in 2012, and the thighs in 2015.  Since then, newer and more advanced applicators have been introduced to the market and cleared by the FDA for use on specific treatment areas:

– CoolAdvantage – released in 2017 and cleared for use on flanks/love handles, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms

– CoolAdvantage Plus – released in 2017 and cleared for use on flanks/love handles, abdomen, and thighs

– CoolAdvantage Petite – released in 2017 and cleared for use on flanks/love handles, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms

– CoolMini – released in 2015 and cleared for use in the submental (under the chin) and submandibular (under the jaw) areas and above the knee

– CoolSmooth PRO – released in 2017 and cleared for use on the lateral (outer) thigh and upper abdomen

The best way to find out about CoolSculpting® and how it could benefit you is to ask the experts – which include not only the professionals that will perform the procedure, but also (if possible) anyone who has themselves benefitted from a CoolSculpting® treatment.  This way you will get a broad idea of what is involved together with first-hand accounts from satisfied customers!
