CoolSculpting is a non-invasive solution for patients who want to reduce fat in typical problem areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and underneath the chin. Treatment with CoolSculpting allows patients to reduce fat up to 25% with each cycle. Some patients can benefit from multiple cycles depending on their individual goals. Patients interested in CoolSculpting should seek out a provider supervised by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. Coolsculpting helps contour the body. It does not always translate into losing inches. My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills,Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
