HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK?

CoolSculpting was created for the health conscious person, who works out, eats right but still has stubborn fat. Get rid of fat for good with CoolSculpting at Cienega Med Spa.

No surgery, no scars, real results. 

CoolSculpting destroys fat permanently by 20-25% with each application/treatment. By reaching therapeutic temperatures, the fat is targeted, frozen and killed off, without any harm to skin, muscles, blood or organs.

A few weeks after a CoolSculpting treatment you will notice the treated area to be smaller in size, and less noticeable. Areas treated with CoolSculpting will see permanent fat loss.

HOW WAS COOLSCULPTING CREATED?

Harvard scientists learned that children who would hold popsicles in their mouths would have trace amounts of fat killed off from the inside of their cheeks. With this, they realized fat is sensitive to cold temperatures.

When placing specific cold temperatures on fat for a specific duration of time, CoolSculpting scientists found that fat can be killed off completely and permanently. With this they refined the specific temperature, method and modus for treatment and thus, CoolSculpting was born.

Since its inception, CoolSculpting has been FDA cleared for safety and efficacy and over 3 million people have received CoolSculpting treatments in the last few years. The treated cells will die over a three day period post treatment.  They are then removed from the body by regular metabolization and the lymphatic drainage system over a period of a few months.

WHY DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK WHEN DIET AND EXERCISE DO NOT?

Chances are, you have some “problem areas”, these problem areas contain more fat cells than the adjacent areas, and you may NOT need to lose any weight. This is the exact reason CoolSculpting is such a great solution.

Now you can finally target those problem areas without having to go through strenuous diet and exercise.

When adults gain weight (excluding obesity) the fat cells are simply getting bigger.  When you lose weight, these very fat cells just get smaller.  Thus, the fat gained is NEVER lost. This is why CoolSculpting is such a great option.  Once treated with CoolSculpting, that number of fat cells begin reducing. With repeated treatments, the fat bulge can be eliminated to a minimal or nearly completely gone state. Once destroyed the body’s natural processes remove the fat from targeted treatment areas.

WHAT IS A COOLSCULPTING TREATMENT LIKE?

When you decide to treat with Coolsculpting, certain “applicators” are chosen for the specific area you want treated. For example, a CoolMax for the abdomen area or CoolFit for the arms. These applicators will then attach to the areas you want treated and stay on for the duration of the treatment.

When these applicators are put on your body, a vacuum pulls and holds the fat between cooling plates, which then freeze the fat to a temperature that will freeze the area to a solid block of ice. YUP, THAT IS RIGHT, YOUR FAT WILL BE FROZEN SOLID.

This stimulates a process called apoptosis which is a programed cell death. No other cells or organs are harmed, just fat! When the treatment has completed, your nurse will provide a manual massage to further break down the fat, by as much as 68%.  When the massage is done, your fat will return to its normal state. So you won’t be walking out with a block of ice!

IS COOLSCULPTING SAFE?

No damage is done to the skin, organs or any other tissue. Coolsculpting is the ONLY treatment for destroying fat by freezing it. Coolsculpting is FDA cleared for safety and efficacy and can be used on any part of the body or face.

Coolsculpting has been studied and tested over 10 years to ensure safe and effective results that diet and exercise are intended to provide. With Coolsculpting you can have NATURAL looking results. No lump and bumps that are typical with liposuction here!

The Only FDA cleared treatment for permanent fat removal. 

CAN ANY AREA OF THE BODY BE TREATED?

CoolSculpting has been designed to treat nearly every part of the body such as the abdomen, arms, love handles, bra bulges, inner and outer thighs and even the chin. Treatment can be received during your lunch break and will not take you away from your daily routine. THERE IS NO DOWNTIME, AND YOU CAN EVEN WORK OUT OR TRAVEL SAME DAY OF YOUR TREATMENT.

HOW LONG DOES COOLSCULPTING TAKE?

A Coolsculpting treatment takes 35 minutes to 1 hour per area depending on which applicator you choose to treat with. CoolAdvantage (the newer, faster, better, stronger) applicators for the arms, bra bulges, abdomen, love handles and inner thighs, treat in just 35 mins. Original CoolSculpting applicators take 1 hour to treat with. CoolMini for the chin takes 45 minutes. CoolSmooth for the outer thighs and non-pinchable areas take 1 hour 15 minutes to treat with.

Because we offer multiple machines, you can treat multiple areas at once, that means you can treat BOTH love handles at once (instead of one at a time) thus reducing your treatment time.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TREATED FAT?

Just like any other dead cell in your body, the destroyed fat cells are processed out naturally through digestion, metabolization and the lymphatic drainage system. You will not notice any change in your body while these fat cells are eliminated.

TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING, PLEASE CALL TO SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION WITH EITHER OF OUR LOCATIONS.

HOW MUCH DOWNTIME CAN I EXPECT?

Most people do NOT experience ANY downtime. The typical patient is able to resume normal routine immediately, include working out or traveling immediately after treatment.

IS COOLSCULPTING PERMANENT?

Yes. Once fat cells are targeted with CoolSculpting, they are permanently killed off. Targeted areas reduce by 20-25% with each treatment. The result is cumulative, meaning, if you receive an additional treatment on the same area, you can reduce another 20-25% of the remaining fat.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Since the ideal candidate for CoolSculpting is someone who already has a healthy lifestyle, the average pocket of stubborn fat may need at most one to two treatments for ideal results.  Some may choose more or less depending on their individual desires. Since each treatment yields a loss of 20-25% in the targeted area, you may choose to have further reduction with successive treatments.

CAN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COOLSCULPTING TREATMENT?

In order to best determine what treatment plan is best for you, please schedule your Free Consultation with us so that we may assess what is best to help achieve your goals.

WHEN CAN I RECEIVE MY NEXT TREATMENT OF COOLSCULPTING?

Those who are candidates for additional treatment, may treat the same area in as little as 4 weeks. Alternate areas can be treated same day or right after.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF COOLSCULPTING?

Over 3 million people have been treated with CoolSculpting.  Some side effects of CoolSculpting include temporary light to medium bruising, swelling, pain in the treated area, freezer burn, blanching of the treated area, hyper-pigmentation, numbness, tingling, temporary loss of sensation in the treated area.

All side effects are transient and completely resolve within a few months post treatment. These side effects do NOT require medication or change in normal daily routine. The side effects of CoolSculpting are also negligible compared to competing alternatives such as liposuction.

DOES COOLSCULPTING INVOLVE INCISIONS OR INJECTIONS?

No. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive technology that destroys fat without cutting the skin, chemicals or injections of any kind. By simply using cold temperature, we can destroy fat for good anywhere on the body as well as the chin.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GAIN WEIGHT POST COOLSCULPTING?

If you happen to gain 30 or more pounds post CoolSculpting treatment, the areas treated with CoolSculpting will not see that weight gain as much as other, non-treated areas.

Thus, weight gain of 30lbs plus will be more evenly distributed throughout the body, and will not be seen as much in the areas that have been treated.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING?

Generally healthy individuals who are 20-30 pounds to their goal weight looking to treat areas of stubborn fat. Those above 30 pounds may still receive CoolSculpting, however, more treatments may be needed to achieve a peak result.

Those who are closer to 50 pounds overweight would be advised to try diet and exercise and return to the clinic at a future date for treatment of the stubborn fat.

CAN A “BEER BELLY” BE TREATED WITH COOLSCULPTING?

No. Because this type of fat “visceral” is deep in the body surrounding the organs.  CoolSculpting treats subcutaneous fat, meaning that “giggly” fat just beneath the skin.  This is the fat that is typically unresponsive to diet and exercise.

There are several forms of fat on the body.  The type of fat that can be treated with Coolsculpting is called subcutaneous fat. This is fat that is directly below the skin, is very soft and “jiggly” and usually unresponsive to diet and exercise.

To determine whether you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting, please call to schedule a FREE CONSULTATION with either of our locations.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SKIN POST COOLSCULPTING?

Naturally, the skin will also reduce in size post CoolSculpting.  Thus, loose skin will NOT be a issue after successive treatments of CoolSculpting.

MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR COOLSCULPTING

If you have a hernia mesh, you are not a candidate to treat areas of the abdomen with suction applicators such as CoolMax or CoolCore.  CoolSmooth may be used however. Alternate areas may still be treated safely.

Those taking blood thinners are advised against treatment with CoolSculpting.

IS COOLSCULPTING AN ALTERNATIVE TO LIPOSUCTION?

Liposuction is a very effective method of fat reduction because the fat is physically removed from the body. It is an invasive procedure however, which typically involves the loss of blood, requires anesthesia, surgical incisions which will result in scars, and several months of recovery time.

As an alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting does not have any of these drawbacks and has had zero long term adverse events in over 3 million cases treated which is why patients in the Los Angeles area may find that Coolsculpting is the “practical” choice and Cienega Med Spa the ideal place to have this procedure performed.

IS COOLSCULPTING OR LIPOSUCTION BETTER FOR ME?

CoolSculpting is a treatment best for those who do not wish to have a surgery like liposuction, which is invasive, costly and comes with downtime. Studies as well as before and afters have shown the great results that CoolSculpting can provide thus making CoolSculpting a great alternative. Those who do not want downtime, scars or pain are best suited to seek treatment with CoolSculpting.

HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING COMPARE TO SCULPSURE, VELASHAPE OR VENUS FREEZE?

While they have similar names, they should not be confused with CoolSculpting, an FDA cleared treatment for non-invasive, permanent fat reduction. Treatments like SculpSure, Velashape and Venus Freeze are “laser treatments” that SHRINK fat cells temporarily.

While they can possibly kill fat off, they are not as strong as CoolSculpting to break down fat for good. So while you may see a reduction in the areas treated, there is no long-term damage sustained to fat cells that CoolSculpting provides.
