At California Skin and Laser Center, patients in and around Lodi and Stockton, California, can learn about the services available to improve their skin and overall health. We offer a way to freeze away unwanted fat without surgery with the CoolSculpting treatment. Below are five common questions our California Skin and Laser Center team often hears from patients interested in this fat-freezing solution!
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that eliminates unwanted body fat and enhances body contours. This technique utilizes controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time. It is an effective option for individuals looking to sculpt their bodies without surgery or downtime. The treatment freezes away fat without the invasiveness of plastic surgery, using a process called cryotherapy to permanently remove fat cells from the body.
Is CoolSculpting safe?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure for fat reduction. It has been extensively researched and is considered a safe treatment option for those looking to eliminate stubborn fat pockets. Administered by our highly trained and experienced RNs, it minimizes potential risks and side effects.
Does CoolSculpting hurt?
The CoolSculpting process involves freezing fat cells, which may cause some discomfort during the procedure. However, patients typically report minimal pain and discomfort during and after the treatment. Some patients may experience mild bruising or numbness in the treated area, but these side effects are temporary and subside within a few days.
CoolSculpting permanently eliminates fat cells in the treated areas. This means that as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, your CoolSculpting results might last a lifetime. It is important to note that this procedure does not prevent future weight gain, so maintaining a balanced diet and exercise routine will help you maintain your results.
What areas of the body can be treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for treating various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, love handles, arms, chin, and back. It has also been used off-label for other areas, such as underarms and bra fat. Our team can assess which areas would benefit most from CoolSculpting during an initial consultation.
