Hello and thank-you for your questionOur office offers both Laser Lipolysis, which is a more invasive surgical procedure involving liposuction and the non-invasive alternative Coolsculpting. CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks. Coolsculpting relies on Cryolipolysis due to the fact that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than are other tissues. We utilize the new Cool Advantage applicators which are much more comfortable and reduce treatment time to 35 minutes. The advanced cooling technology selectively targets and eliminates fat cells gently and gradually without affecting the surrounding tissue. Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it generally takes more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. A second treatment is general scheduled 30 to 45 days after the initial treatment. It takes about 2-3 months to get a general idea of the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon well versed in all options for body contouring to determine if you an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting.Best regards, Tweet
Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting permanently eliminates 20-25% of fat cells per treatment. With the use of a cooling technology, fat cells in the treated area are frozen leading to cell death. These cells are then naturally eliminated from your body.Regards,
