How does CoolSculpting® work?

This in-office procedure at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE offers a safe and precise way to target stubborn fat cells. The patented CoolSculpting® device delivers a controlled cooling effect to minimize fat cells that reside underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are permanently frozen, turning to liquid, allowing the body to eliminate them naturally. A complete CoolSculpting® session can take about 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the number and size of target areas. It is generally recommended that patients get 2 – 3 treatments scheduled three weeks apart for optimal results. The number of treatments a patient may need will vary depending on their desired outcome and the number of areas being treated. During a private consultation, Dr. Krch will determine if only one CoolSculpting® treatment is enough or more sessions will be necessary.

What areas can CoolSculpting® treat?

Many women and men struggle with stubborn fat despite a healthy lifestyle and staying active. CoolSculpting® is an FDA cleared treatment that is safe and effective at reducing fat in the following areas:

• Under the chin or jawline
• Upper arms
• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Upper back (bra line)
• Flanks
• Underneath the buttocks

In the weeks that follow, the body naturally processes targeted fat and eliminates the dead cells. Most patients begin to see visible body contouring results in about 2 – 3 weeks, which will continue to improve over the next three months after the last treatment. CoolSculpting® treatments provide long-term results since treated fat cells are permanently reduced as long as patients maintain their current weight.

What are the common side effects of CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is considered a safe, nonsurgical fat removal that provides an alternative option to liposuction. CoolSculpting® does not involve tissue manipulation, incisions, or anesthesia allowing individuals to resume normal activities after each session. The only side effects tend to be minor and occur around the target area. Any temporary side effects will subside or completely dissipate in a few days or a few weeks following the treatment. Common noticeable side effects of CoolSculpting® include:

• Numbness or loss of sensation in the target area
• Stinging or tingling
• Tenderness or skin sensitivity
• Minor swelling or redness
• Muscle cramping
