What is Coolsculpting? | Freeze Away Body Fat

I'm Dr. Jenni Holman I'm a board-certified dermatologist and I am Tori burns I'm the physician assistant here at the center for aesthetic and laser medicine and today we're going to talk about one of our most popular procedures that we perform here non-invasive fat reduction CoolSculpting It's non-surgical there's no downtime you can go work out the same day that you get CoolSculpting. If you can squeeze it we can freeze it so everything from a double chin to bra fat.

Arms is fairly popular for women too the thighs inside outside of the thighs obviously abdomen flanks. Guys are in here as much for CoolSculpting as the women are as well because most guys are not going to want to go under the knife I mean liposuction is a big deal you have to wear the garments afterwards there's some serious downtime general anesthesia those kind of things. CoolSculpting you get those love handles hooked up to the machine you're in you're out back at the gym. So as far as the procedure goes you come and you see one of our medical institutions they mark you where you want to be frozen where you want that fat reduced so they mark you with templates and then they take you to our CoolSculpting suite and you get the applicators applied they hook you up.

I mean people sometimes nap you bring your iPad we've even had people call in food here and that's totally okay too but you just kind of relax and your fat is being frozen / so you just get that fat reduction and then when you're done you get a gentle massage and then you're on your way. And so people ask how long this CoolSculpting takes so each cycle takes 35 minutes but one love-handle maybe one cycle with the other one there one of the nice things we have here at the Center for Aesthetic and Laser Medicine is two CoolSculpting machines so you can dual-sculpt I know so you can get hooked up you can get you know non-invasive fat reduction in half the time because we've got two machines that we can use at the same time. The best way to know how much CoolSculpting do I need how many cycles is it going to take you really need a consult because everyone's fat distribution is a little bit different but the great thing about all of our aestheticians they've been to the highest level of training and CoolSculpting University and so they know how to manipulate all these different applicators to get you the best results and without a lot of you know side-effects or downtime. And people often ask how soon do you see the fat reduction some people see the fat reduction as soon as three weeks but really the biggest changes come from three months to six months out of your CoolSculpting treatments.

What do I care about? Does it hurt? It goes numb relatively quickly and so it's so cold because we're actually freezing that fat but once it's numb which is really really quickly very comfortable if you can sleep through it it's probably pretty comfortable absolutely there's not many folks that CoolSculpting is not appropriate for but if you're interested in finding out what does non-invasive fat reduction look like um easy come in talk to the aestheticians let them really map out a plan for you because we can treat you to transformation and it happens really quickly on a pretty comfortable machine back there.
