Most people have stubborn fat deposits they would like to be rid of. Yet the downtime of surgical liposuction does not fit into every schedule. Noninvasive CoolSculpting can be a good alternative. This innovative method of freezing body fat is available at Associates in Dermatology offices in Westlake, Middleburg Heights, and Lorain, OH.
Common questions about CoolSculpting
What is CoolSculpting?
The scientific basis is cryolipolysis – a means to freeze fat away. Temperature is reduced to a level that crystalizes targeted fat cells without freezing the H2O component of skin and other organs. Treated fat cells die and are harmlessly flushed by the body’s natural processes.
Is CoolSculpting safe?
FDA-approved CoolSculpting is very safe. Treatment is drug-free, with no risk of secondary infection. Side effects such as redness, bruising, tenderness, or numbness are typically mild and temporary.
What areas can be treated with this fat freezing procedure?
CoolSculpting can be performed on submental (double chin) and submandibular (under the jawline) fat, upper arms, bra fat, back fat, abdomen, flanks, buttocks (including banana roll underneath), and thighs (inner and outer).
What are typical Coolsculpting results?
Patients can expect up to a 25 percent reduction in fat in the treated area. The procedure can be repeated for further reduction.
