If you live near Plano, Prosper, or Flower Mound, Texas, we’ve heard your questions about CoolSculpting, and we are here to answer them.
How much fat can I lose?
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it complements traditional and medical weight loss attempts by reducing fat that remains resistant to these efforts. Therefore, it’s likely you see a 20 to 25% reduction in fat in the treatment areas.
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting removes fat cells from the body through a process called cryolipolysis. During your appointment, we place applicators on the treatment area to target stubborn fat. The CoolSculpting technology freezes and breaks down fat cells, causing them to crystallize and diminish. In due time, your body flushes out the dead cells through the lymphatic drainage system.
When will I see results?
You should start to see changes as soon as 1 to 3 months post-treatment. Final results may take 6 months or more. Remember that it may require more than 1 session for Coolsculpting. Your provider discusses these details with you during your consultation.
Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting?
If you’re within 25 pounds of your ideal body weight and live a generally healthy lifestyle, you are a good candidate. During your consultation, we assess your body and review your medical history to determine if this procedure will work safely and effectively for you. We may decide that you are not a good candidate for coolsculpting if you fall under the following list:
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Heightened sensitivity to cold (Raynaud’s, cryoglobulinemia, etc.).
- Skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, hives, etc.
- Active infections.
- Implanted devices in or near the treatment area.
- Extensive scarring in the treatment area.
- Loose skin in the treatment area.
Our plastic surgery and dermatology offices can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle with additional wellness options if we decide CoolSculpting isn’t for you
