Coolscuplting takes only one hour to reduce your fat bulge

Zeltiq is a revolutionary procedure that freezes your fat in just one hour. The results are great if you are at your ideal body weight and you have a certain problem area like your abdomen or flanks. Typically one procedure is necessary and you can expect a 25 percent reduction in fat in two to four months after the treatment. Some patients return a few months later for a second session because they can achieve even better results, see video

CoolSculpting treatments for fat reduction

The fat cells that are killed during the Zeltiq's CoolSculpting freezing do not grow back. But not all fat cells die and if you gain weight then the fat will have some place to go, both in the area treated and non-treated areas. But if you maintain a good exercise regimen and diet then the results should be long term. Some people need only one treatment as they're happy with 20% fat reduction while others do three or more treatments that can be repeated every two months or less... more

How long does Coolsculpting last?

Hi, Cool sculpting is the only device that is FDA approved for permanent fat reduction that is non-invasive! I always tell patients that the number of treatments you will need is determined by how much fat you have which your doctor can help you decide when they measure you. Just remember that each treatment has been shown to get rid of 20-25% of the fat in the area permanently. Best, Dr. Liu

CoolSculpting permanently removes fat in one hour

One CoolSculpting treatment takes one hour per area treated.  One area is typically about the size of your hand. Therefore, each "love-handle" would be considered one area, and the lower abdomen is typically considered two areas.  You can treat more than one area at a single office visit, but only one area at a time.  To treat two areas takes just over two hours.  For many patients, a second treatment in the same area may be beneficial since CoolSculpting... more

Does CoolSculpting really work?

YES! We love the results we are seeing. Every person is different. Therefor we customize plans to each patient. Some people depending how close you are to your ideal body weight will need more then one treatment to get desirable results. Each treatment takes one hour. You can knock it all out in one day or come back within 30 days to finish your package. We then take pictures at 60 days out and 90 days out. Hopefully this answers your questions.

Coolsculpting - each cycle lasts 1 hour and you see results after each treatment

A coolsculpting treatment session lasts about 1 hour. One body part (eg upper abdomen or lower abdomen or one flank or one love handle) can be treated during each hour-long session. About 20-25% of the fat that gets sucked into the probe disappears within 2-4 months. A repeat session can enhance results on a body part that you have already done. This is safe, but I recommend waiting several months so that you first see the full effect of the prior treatment.

Zeltiq-cool sculpting is effective

A normal treatment with Zeltiq takes approximately one hour. It requires only the one treatment. however a patient may want more than the 20-25% improvement normally attained in one treatment and can therefore sign up for a second treatment. One doctor in our practice noticed a very dramatic improvement in only one treatment when applied to her.

CoolSculpting Reduces Fat Permanently

Coolsculpting is a way to PERMANENTLY reduce fat - therefore whatever fat responded to the treatment is gone for good. (On average you can expect a 20-25% reduction of fat during any given treatment. A second or third treatment in a particular area can have an additive effect and better results. We always recommend 2-3 treatments for all of our Zeltiq patients. We have 4 machines and frequently run 2 or 3 at the same time. We can do 4 cycles in one hour. more

Coolsculpting procedure

Each cycle of the machine takes one hour, and depending on what is being treated, you may have 2 - 4 cycles on the same day. The procedure usually results in a fat reduction of anywhere between 20-25% per treatment, so therefore, at 2-3 month intervals you may need another treatment.

CoolSculpting for Fat Loss
