“Cold” is arelative term and will vary by individual perception. In terms oftemperature, the fat is lowered to about 14-degrees Fahrenheit duringCoolSculpting – enough to freeze it without affecting surroundingskin or other tissue. While this may seem “cold,” most patientsfeel the chill for only a few moments; it soon develops into asensation of numbness. At our center, weuse the CoolAdvantage applicators, which nearly halve treatment timeto just about 35 minutes per area. We can also treat more than onearea of the body simultaneously with our DualSculpting System –which also lessens overall treatment time.I've found that mypatients tolerate the CoolSculpting procedure very well and havelittle to no discomfort. Afterward, it is common to experience somebruising, swelling, and/or numbness that may last from hours to days.Most patients opt for another treatment or two spaced about two weeksapart, as only 20% to 30% of fat can be removed from an area at onetime. It will take two to three several months before your body cancompletely eliminate the destroyed fat cells and reveal your finalresults. Please see a board-certified dermatologist who has expertisein sculpting the body with CoolSculpting and CoolAdvantage.
CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells while preserving surrounding tissue, in a process known as cryolipolysis. Depending upon the type of applicator used, the cooling panel can get down to about -10 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. However, you won’t actually feel these cold temperatures, as the initial cooling sensation will give way to numbness. For best results, always consult with a certified CoolSculpting® Technician.
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. The panels can get as cold as -10 C which is the tempt. needed to freeze the fat; however, the skin is completely protected.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It's -10-11 C depending on the applicator that is used. What you will feel is the suction and then the cold alms numbs the area. I have not had any clients cease treatment due the cold feeling if that comforts you at all. The outer thigh panel is cold and almost itchy but again, not one client has ever stopped the treatment due to the cold feelings. The safety studies show this temperature destroys only the fat cells but surrounding tissue is unharmed. Best of Luck.
In coolsculpting treatments, it “cools” the area to be treated to reduce the fat. The cooling panels can get down to -10Celcius. Theoretically fat freezing at 4 degree Celsius. This is higher than the freezing point of water. The temperature that coolsculpting achieves is above the freezing point of water, so that it can leave in-tact other viable cells and destroy the fat cells.
