1. I was wondering at what temperature does this machine start killing the fat cells? 2. How long does this contraption holds the fat inside? 3. If this freezing stays longer will it cause any freeze bite? 4. Can this be done simultaneously on multiple areas like both love handles and frontal area? Thanks
Answer: CoolSculpting procedure questions The CoolSculpting procedure works by cooling the fat cells, which cause a portion of the fat cells in the treated area to die off. The temperature approaches the freezing point of water but stays somewhat above that temperature so that the skin is not damaged by frost bite if the procedure is done correctly. The procedure time is one hour to the treated area except for the outer thighs, where the treatment time is two hours on each side. It is possible to have the love handles and front of the abdomen treated at the same appointment, but with one machine, this would take three hours. If your treating doctor had two machines, it would decrease the total procedure time to two hours since you could have both flanks treated at the same time and then have the abdomen treated.

Answer: Temperature to treat love handles with coolsculpting The actual temperature that the machine uses to eliminate fat cells is proprietary. The company support staff do not even know the actual temperature. It is only known that it is well below zero. The fat is not held in the machine, but the machine breaks down the fat cells and it passes through your body as waste. It will not cause frost bite if it is longer, but there is no documented benefit of keeping the machine working for more than hour for a suction applicator or 2 hours for the coolsmooth applicator. Multiple areas can be treated simultaneously if an office has multiple machines. There is no document benefit other than reduced time for treating with multiple machines. Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons who have certified coolsculpting centers to understand your options. Note: Not all centers who have coolsculpting have completed the training and developed the expertise to be certified.

Answer: The System Monitors Heat Extraction 1. During treatment, the cooling panels get down to -10 degree Celsius.Monitoring of the treatment is based on a thermal extraction rate measured at the cooling panels, and is defined as Cooling Intensity Factor (CIF).The CIF represents the rate of heat flux into or out of the tissue.The rate of energy extraction from the tissue is measured as mW/cm2.The Freeze Detect System monitors heat extraction for safety.2. The treatment takes one hour with a vacuum applicator and two hours for a surface applicator.3. The treatment automatic ends at the one hour mark for a vacuum applicator and at two hours for a surface applicator. The machine has a Freeze Detect System which monitors heat extraction for safety. If thermistors detect an unexpected variance in skin temperature, the Freeze Detect System will stop treatment immediately.4. Different areas can be treated simultaneously only if the physician has more than one machine in the office. This will help reduce treatment time.
