I'm thinking of COOL SCULPTING for my stomach area. I've been told it's only a one time treatment and results last. Does it hurt and does it really remove fat cells permanently? And dangers with age of patient?

Answer: Coolsculpting We perform Coolsculpting in our practice and our patients are very happy with the results. I have also done it myself and I truly believe it works. The fat cells in each bulge being treated will undergo a programmed cell death induced by the freezing of cells and those dead cells will be removed by your immune system. You can expect a 20-25% decrease in the size of the bulge which you should see somewhere between 3 weeks and 3 months. If you are happy with the results but desire a greater reduction, the same area can be treated again. The procedure is safe but requires a physician evaluation. For instance, if you have a hernia in an area you want treated, I do not believe it is safe because part of your bowel could get frozen which can lead to serious problems. Patient age is not an issue.

Answer: CoolSculpting Works Coolsculpting is the best option for nonsurgical fat reduction. With each treatment, 20% of the fat cells on average are killed. However, patient selection is key. Most patients experience a mild tenderness for a short time post treatment, and the fat cells that are killed due not return. However, the remaining fat cells can grow or shrink with weight changes. We have successfully performed coolsculpting in a wide range of age including patients in their 70s. Consult in person with a board certified physician who can offer both liposuction and coolsculpting to have the best possible treatment options.
