Lose localized fat without surgery
The only fat removal technique that can rival the results of FDA-approved liposuction
What is Coolsculpting?
Coolsculpting (non-surgical liposuction) is the removal of fat without surgery, using fat-freezing technology.
It is the only non-surgical fat removal technique that can compete with the surgical results of liposuction, and where results are achieved in one or two sessions. Coolsculpting is the leading non-surgical liposuction in the United States, approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Zeltiq Coolsculpting has over a million procedures performed in the United States to its credit, with 200 centers nationwide.
How does Coolsculpting work?
Coolsculpting allows you to “freeze” the subcutaneous fat layers (under the skin). Freezing leads to subsequent fat removal in the 3-4 weeks after treatment.
The procedure does not require incisions, anesthesia, or any physical recovery. Depending on the area treated, the treatment duration is usually one to two hours.
Coolsculpting works through the extraction of heat (energy) from deep fat in the area of the treated tissue. Heat extraction is very effective and produces temperatures as low as -12 degrees that do not damage the skin.
In contrast to Coolsculpting, the abundance of examples of “cryolipolysis” try to apply cold instead of extracting heat. This is much less effective and it is impossible to reach deep tissue freezing temperatures without damaging the skin.
What results can I achieve with Coolsculpting?
Coolsculpting is the only non-surgical liposuction that produces results similar to surgical liposuction in a single session.
Most patients opt for coolsculpting makeover packages, treating 3-4 different areas of the body. These makeover packages can actually produce results comparable to liposuction.
Who are the best candidates for Coolsculpting, non-surgical liposuction?
CoolSculpting is a very good treatment option for patients who:
• Are within a reasonable weight range and are physically active. They have some very stubborn fat deposits that are impossible to get rid of even with extreme diet and exercise.
• They have also understood that they must live with those unwanted deposits forever
• They don’t want to accept this
• But they definitely don’t want to know about having surgery
We recruited our ideal Coolsculpting candidates from these patients.
For maximum patient satisfaction, we believe it is helpful for patients to know the vast difference between Coolsculpting and the endless number of imitations that usually only cost money, nerves and time with little or no results.
Coolsculpting versus Cryolipolysis?
Coolsculpting works with applicators to extract heat and very precisely freezes the layer of subcutaneous fat, reaching freezing energy of up to -12 degrees Celsius.
The success of the original Zeltiq technology has inspired an endless multitude of copies. As a result, a large number of “Cryolipolysis” technologies have appeared on the market.
“Cryolipolysis” Machines have even been installed in beauty salons and barbershops. This has nothing to do with original Zeltiq Coolsculpting. These machines usually require endless sessions, do not have any guarantee of results, and do not have scientific publications to back them up.
In short, most of the copied techniques work by trying to apply cold. Very moderate cooling energies can be applied without damaging the skin.
On the other hand, Coolsculpting (non-surgical Liposuction) works through the extraction of heat from deep tissue and reaches temperatures as low as -12 degrees (copied devices usually don’t even go to zero degrees)
What are the costs?
It is impossible to give detailed prices for something as individual as medical treatment. Everyone is different and needs a specifically designed plan. Most of our Coolsculpting patients opt for custom makeover packages, to get optimal results from their non-surgical liposuction coolsculpting treatment.
Zeltiq Original Coolsculpting is not necessarily cheaper than surgical liposuction.
Are the results permanent?
Zeltiq’s authentic Coolsculpting technology leads to selective apoptosis (cell death) of affected fat cells. Zeltiq has patented the technology called “Freeze-Detect”. “Freeze-Detect” allows the CoolSculpting practitioner to expose the patient’s subcutaneous fat to temperatures as low as -12 degrees. This is lethal to the affected fat cells. They cannot be generated again.
Could you also lose fat with diet and exercise?
Coolsculpting is typically used in areas where diet-resistant fat deposits are found. Both sexes have areas in which it is practically impossible to lose fat, which are, for example and especially, the flanks and saddlebags. Patients who request Coolsculpting non-surgical liposuction usually understand that those specific deposits won’t go away otherwise, and decide to do something about it.
Frequent questions
What areas can be treated?
Coolsculpting can be applied to almost all areas of the body. The suitability of treating your problem area will depend on whether or not we can properly place the necessary applicators. The best results and the highest patient satisfaction are usually achieved in the so-called “love handles” and the lower abdomen.
How many sessions are necessary?
Zeltiq’s original Coolsculpting produces effects in a single session. Most of our patients choose Coolsculpting packages to change their image. These Coolsculpting packages treat different areas in different sessions and produce very impressive results.
It is painful?
Coolsculpting is generally a painless treatment and does not require punctures or incisions. Some patients experience discomfort after CoolSculpting applicators are removed, usually lasting only a few minutes.
How is the recovery?
Coolsculpting does not require a recovery period, or low. Patients should not interrupt their activities.
When can I exercise after Coolsculpting treatment?
You can exercise immediately after treatment. There are no restrictions on physical activity.
How long does the treatment last?
A Coolsculpting treatment lasts about an hour. Patients can read, watch a movie, or have a cosmetic treatment at the same time.
What does FDA approval mean?
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the US is the strictest regulatory body for medical products in the world. FDA approval means that the treatment has been approved for both safety and efficacy.
Conversely, no other “Cryolipolysis” treatment has come close to being FDA approved.
What is a Coolsculpting transformation?
They are treatment packages/plans for patients who require multiple applicators in different areas. With these packages, comparisons with the results of surgical liposuction are possible.
When can I see results?
In most patients, the most noticeable results are seen as early as 4 weeks after treatment.
Improvements should continue to be noticeable up to 3 months after treatment.
Is it necessary to use a compression garment?
No, this is not necessary.
What are the Coolsculpting references?
Coolsculpting is the only fat freezing technique approved by both the FDA (USA) and the EU (European Union). This approval is guaranteed by proven efficiency and safety.
On the other hand, Coolsculpting currently has a very solid scientific base, whose efficiency is reflected in more than 30 scientific publications.
All other non-surgical liposuction techniques used for fat freezing have not been approved by the FDA nor is there any scientific publication that proves their effectiveness.
