Is the machine already set for the right temperature?

Question

Is the cool sculpting machine have the same freezing degree, or the assistant set it up differently for each client? I just have my concern that my procedure wasn't done right, because I didn't feel the freezing cold and I didn't have any pain and tingling like everybody else is experiencing.

The Coolsculpting machine is preset to the correct temperature, that temperature will not affect skin or tissue. The machine's temperature is not variable.  Patients experience different reactions to the procedure. Ensure you see an experienced and qualified person.

The temperature is pre-set.  The suction setting can be adjusted to get the best draw possible.  Make sure you are going to an experienced doctor for your treatment.

You ask a good question. The Coolsculpting machine is preset to the correct temperature to freeze fat, that temperature will not affect skin or tissue. The machine's temperature is not variable.  Patients experience different reactions to the procedure, many do not  feel any discomfort, some have more tenderness following the procedure, for some it is more uncomfortable.  It can take up to three months to see optimal results from the procedure, and maintaining a good diet and exercise routine will enhance your results.  Some patients see results as early as 3-4 weeks, then continue to experience improvement over time. Remember that results are not immediate but the success rate  of 20-25% fat reduction in the treated areas is very consistent. Odds are that you will be satisfied with your results in the long run.

The temperature is the same, but the variables that could be potentially different from patient to patient are treatment time and amount of suction used. The other influencing factor could be whether the Zimmer Z-wave is used after the treatment. Studies have shown that using the Z wave after makes a significant difference. I use it after every treatment.
