What Is Coolsculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is the world’s No.1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment. The advanced FDA-cleared technology uses the power of precise controlled cooling, or cryolipolysis, to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells that diet and exercise can’t shift. 

CoolSculpting® Elite allows you to eliminate on average 27% of unwanted fat cells in one treatment whilst treating up to 18% more skin surface area than the original. This allows for a more comprehensive treatment and makes it a very effective fat removal method.

The treatment is the same for all genders; the only slight difference between men and women is often in the specific areas of the body being targeted.

The beauty isn’t just in its immediate effects, with this non-invasive technology, there are no needles, no incisions, no need for anaesthesia and no recovery time. The vast majority of our clients opt to resume normal activities on the same day, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

How does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting® employs non-invasive cooling to trigger lipolysis – the breakdown of fat cells – allowing clients to observe a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat. The cooled fat cells undergo apoptosis, a process that kills the cells, gradually eliminating them and thereby reducing the thickness of the fat layer.

It’s important to understand that once these fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. The body naturally processes and removes the destroyed fat cells without causing harm to the skin or other tissue, unlike more invasive procedures such as liposuction. This process is gradual and does not affect the surrounding tissues.

What is CoolSculpting® Elite and how is it different from Coolsculpting?

The difference between Elite CoolSculpting® & Standard CoolSculpting® is CoolSculpting® Elite is a third-generation device from Allergan. It offers a sleeker, quicker and more efficient treatment that treats 18% more fat per cycle than the standard system. 

It has enhanced freezing technology, dual applicators for faster treatment and bespoke ‘C’-shaped applicators for better skin contact. Because of this CoolSculpting® Elite provides a more effective solution for body contouring.

Key Benefits and Common Treatment Areas

CoolSculpting is a versatile treatment that targets popular areas of the body including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, upper arms and even the chin. Many clients seek treatment for stubborn fat in these specific areas, particularly where diet and exercise have had limited success. 

While the results vary by individual, most people start to notice fat reduction within a few weeks, with maximum results appearing after a few months as the body fully eliminates the treated fat cells.

FAQs

Am I A Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®? 

You may be an ideal candidate if you have areas of stubborn fat—such as around the abdomen, chest, or flanks—that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are generally near their target weight and are seeking a non-surgical solution to reduce specific areas of fat rather than overall weight loss. 

CoolSculpting® is effective for people of various ages and body types who want to achieve a more defined physique. A consultation will help determine the best approach based on your personal goals.

Is Coolsculpting® Safe?

When it comes to non-invasive fat reduction treatments, safety is of paramount concern. CoolSculpting® is currently the only FDA-approved cryolipolysis® treatment in the world. 

CoolSculpting® Elite are controlled cooling devices designed with a well-established safety profile featuring built-in safety measures such as Freeze Detect which shuts the system down automatically if sensors detect the skin is getting too cold. 

This helps to ensure that clients undergo a safe and controlled experience during the treatment helping to make it a leading treatment of choice globally over seven million treatments successfully conducted worldwide and an impressive 97% patient satisfaction record.

What are the side effects of CoolSculpting®?

Having concerns or questions is natural when contemplating a new treatment. CoolSculpting® Elite utilises a vacuum mechanism, which might lead to sensations of tugging and pinching at the start of the procedure, these sensations are typically mild and subside as the treatment area becomes numb. Some immediate side effects can include: temporary numbness, redness, swelling, firmness, tingling and stinging sensations. However, these side effects are temporary and subside shortly after the treatment.

Extremely rare reactions to the treatment, can include paradoxical adipose hyperplasia and freeze burn. Other rare side effects such as late onset pain, vasovagal symptoms, and hyperpigmentation may also occur.

In the unlikely situation of a reaction your care is of the most importance to us. Our Doctor led clinics are experienced and trained to manage and advise at each step.

Does CoolSculpting ® last permanently?

CoolSculpting® permanently removes treated fat cells by freezing them with low temperatures, causing them to break down and be naturally and safely eliminated by the body. As these cells do not regenerate, the results are permanent.
