About CoolSculpting in South Florida

One of the biggest problems with fat is how it stubbornly resists our diligent efforts. CoolSculpting solves this problem. CoolSculpting works by targeting, freezing, and eventually destroying fat cells in a specific area of the body. To achieve optimal results with CoolSculpting, it must be performed by a certified professional like one of ours here at Dr. Mylissa’s Medical Boutique. Let us help you feel your best!

Is CoolSculpting a Medical Procedure?

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a medical procedure. To achieve the best results from cryolipolysis, you must possess a thorough understanding of the medical science it’s based on. Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting is very safe for the patient. In fact, the procedure is entirely non-invasive. There are no sharp or pointed instruments used, and the patient will experience virtually no downtime after the procedure. CoolSculpting has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so you can be confident the procedure is safe and effective with limited side effects.[1]

Good Candidates

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting should be in good health, at or near their targeted body weight, and be non-smokers. You can use it if you are heavier, but the results may not be as dramatic.  Recipients should also have realistic expectations. CoolSculpting is not equivalent to bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery). It is not designed to help people lose significant amounts of weight, in fact the number on the scale will likely not change. Coolsculpt is a fat reduction procedure designed to help patients discard bothersome pockets of fat that don’t respond to exercise. You should postpone any CoolSculpting treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding until after. You should also delay any treatments if you are looking to lose a substantial amount of weight.

How to Prepare for CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting Delray Beach, FL

CoolSculpting is a simple procedure to prepare for, you may be ready for a session right after your initial consultation. For optimal results, you should not be currently taking any blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin, and you should be a non-smoker. You should also avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure in the area that will be treated. On the day of your treatment, make sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing. You don’t want to get dolled up for your procedure. That’s best saved for afterward when you can enjoy your results.

CoolSculpting Procedure

During a CoolSculpting procedure, the patient simply sits back and relaxes, and can just rest or enjoy entertainment on their phone. One of Dr. Mylissa’s medical professionals will first apply a gel to the area being treated. Then, they will attach the CoolSculpting applicator to the region. The patient might feel intense cold in the treated area, but this feeling usually dissipates as the area becomes numb. After the treatment, the area may be massaged. Massaging helps to further break loose the fat deposits and can aid the procedure in eliminating the maximum amount of fat. The patient can easily return to regular activities right away!

Recovery

With CoolSculpting, there is no downtime. Patients can return to work immediately after their procedure. After the procedure, patients may have some redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or cramping near or close to the treatment site, but these side effects are usually minor. Be sure to keep hydrated after your procedure. 

Results

You can expect significant results. Soon after a procedure, in about three weeks, you’ll notice the treated area is significantly slimmer and trimmer. You’ll also notice a more sculpted look. After about two months, you’ll see your final results, and you can expect to be impressed! On average, patients get a 20 to 25 percent reduction of fat in a treated area and experience a high rate of patient satisfaction.[2] CoolSculpting produces measurable results without the complications of liposuction.[3] CoolSculpting is not a replacement for living an active lifestyle. To see the best results from CoolSculpting, you still want to eat healthily and engage in regular exercise.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?

For most patients, CoolSculpting is entirely worth the cost. The cost of treatment depends on the area that needs to be treated, the service provider, the location of the service provider in the U.S., and other factors. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently estimated that the average cost of CoolSculpting is around $1480, which is typically less expensive than liposuction, often by $1000 or more. And because there’s no downtime with CoolSculpting, you won’t have to take time off from work and lose earnings like you would with liposuction.

FAQ

Does CoolSculpting Work?

Yes, it really does! The procedure works by targeting, freezing, and eventually destroying fat cells in targeted locations. In the weeks following the procedure, the fat cells die out, and then the body disposes of them naturally. And once these cells are gone from the body, they’re gone for good, so you won’t have to worry about them coming back! So long as you prevent existing fat cells from expanding, you’ll be able to maintain your results.
