Sometimes, you can do everything right and still have stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t let go. If you’re troubled by problem areas you can’t seem to get rid of, an innovative body contouring technology called CoolSculpting® may be the answer. The CoolSculpting® procedure eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively — all with little to no downtime.

This fat-reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. CoolSculpting® results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle.

At Dermacare, we will develop a customized CoolSculpting® treatment plan that addresses your problem areas. Targeted areas can be safely re-treated, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your individualized treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.

 

Candidates for CoolSculpting®

Good candidates are at or near their goal weight and have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. CoolSculpting® treatments are specifically designed for patients who have unwanted fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike other procedures such as gastric bypass surgery, CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss solution for people who are overweight or obese.

CoolSculpting® may be used to reduce unwanted fat in the following problem areas:

• Hips and thighs
• Back
• Stomach
• Arms
• Buttocks
• Neck and chin

CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive fat reduction procedure that provides patients with an alternative to liposuction. It should not be used as a substitute for healthy habits, although patients don’t have to adopt any specialized exercise routines or diets to see results.

Patients should meet the following criteria:

• Are within 30 pounds of their weight loss goals
• Have good skin tone and elasticity
• Want to address stubborn fat in specific problem areas
• Have reasonable expectations
• Want to avoid more invasive, surgical procedures

It’s important to note that CoolSculpting® is not for everyone. You should not receive CoolSculpting® treatments if you suffer from paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, cryoglobulinemia, or chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. The CoolSculpting® procedure doesn’t treat scarring or loose skin.

If you have problem areas that are resistant to diet or exercise and have been considering a fat reduction procedure, request a one-on-one consultation with us to determine if the CoolSculpting® treatment is right for you.

 
 

How CoolSculpting® Works 

CoolSculpting® uses a fat-freezing technology called cryolipolysis. Fat cells are known to freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding skin, making them more susceptible to the effects of extreme cold. CoolSculpting® technology delivers controlled cooling safely and effectively to target fat cells without harming nearby tissues. 

The treated fat cells die from the freezing, crystallizing effects. Over time, your body will naturally process the fat and dispose of these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted figure. Once they’re removed, these fat cells are gone for good. CoolSculpting® has been shown to result in a fat reduction of up to 20-25 percent in treated areas, with most patients losing a pant size or two. 

During your procedure, you may feel a cold sensation, some tugging or pulling, and numbness. Most patients find the treatment to be comfortable and relatively painless. Procedure times can vary from patient to patient, depending on individual goals, expectations, and treatment areas. CoolSculpting® treatments typically take about 30 minutes for one area to be treated.
