Stubborn fat. When you hear that, you immediately think of the areas of your midsection that give you the most trouble. You wish you could wave a magic wand over those areas and make that persistent fat disappear. Introducing your “magic” wand: CoolSculpting in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, and Floyds Knobs, Indiana, at CaloSpa® Rejuvenation Center.
While its advanced technology is not really magic, CoolSculpting is a dream-come-true for women and men looking to slim down pockets of stubborn fat.
If you’re ready to experience the new, non-invasive way to conquer persistent fat, request a spa consultation online or call us today.
Using a safe, proven, process called cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting infuses specific areas with controlled cooling. Because fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissues, they die and are gradually flushed out of the body.
No, CoolSculpting does not tighten lax, excess skin. It is ideal for skin with good elasticity that will naturally tighten around the slimmer contours. Nonsurgical skin tightening with Sciton® SkinTyte® or Morpheus8 Body may be enough to firm mildly lax skin. Moderate to significant laxity may require surgical skin tightening such as an arm lift or a tummy tuck.
Our Louisville med spa offers the latest generation of fat-freezing, called CoolSculpting Elite, which is cleared by the FDA to reduce fat in 9 areas of the body: under the chin and along the jawline, the thighs, abdomen, and flanks, in addition to bra fat, back fat, “banana rolls” under the buttocks, and the upper arms.
CoolSculpting Elite applicators are designed in a C shape, which results in more contact with tissue than the U shape of the original CoolSculpting applicator. This, in turn, results in faster treatment times with up to 18% more surface area treated in a single cycle. And we can use a single CoolSculpting Elite machine to treat 2 areas at the same time.
No, CoolSculpting is typically not described as painful. Patients say it produces a sensation of cold and a tight, pulling feeling. The area soon becomes numb, allowing you to relax and enjoy your book, movie or nap.
No, CoolSculpting does not help cellulite as it is strictly a fat reduction treatment. We offer another nonsurgical treatment, truSculpt iD®, that addresses both fat and cellulite, and minimally invasive cellulite treatments as well. One of our aesthetic professionals can help you decide which treatment is right for you.
A. Some people report losing 1 to 3 inches after CoolSculpting, but results vary based on factors like body type and number of sessions. Clinical studies show cryolipolysis can reduce the treated fat layer by up to 25% after one treatment.¹
CoolSculpting does not involve anesthesia or incisions, so no recovery period is required. Its precise cooling destroys only fat cells; surrounding tissue and cells remain undamaged.2 Some tingling, numbness, redness, light bruising or mild swelling may result following the treatment, but these are temporary, lasting only a few days. Your regular activities will not be restricted or interrupted. You can even go to the gym following your treatment.
Following treatment, the body begins its natural metabolic process of breaking down and flushing out the damaged fat cells. While patient experiences vary, results typically begin to appear several weeks after treatment. Gradual fat reduction will continue, with final results typically showing after about 2 to 4 months.
The fat cells that die do not grow back; however, those that remain can expand with future weight gain. With consistent exercise and a balanced, healthful diet, you should be able to maintain your results. Plus, you can receive additional treatments, either to further reduce fat from the same areas or from other areas.
CoolSculpting does not replace diet and exercise and is not designed as a weight loss treatment. Think of CoolSculpting as a very effective touch-up treatment. If you are satisfied with your weight but cannot get rid of persistent fat from certain areas, despite regular exercise and a healthful diet, then CoolSculpting may be right for you. Scheduling a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to learn if CoolSculpting is right for you.
