Is CoolSculpting® the Solution for Your Problematic Fat Areas? 

What is CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment using a patented cooling technology to selectively reduce fat layers in problem areas. We currently offer this service at our Victory Medical Austin location.

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting®?

• Abdomen
• Back
• Hips, or “muffin top”
• Flanks, or “love handles”
• Upper arms
• Double chin
• Inner and outer thighs

Who is a candidate for CoolSculpting®?

The best candidates for CoolSculpting® are individuals who are near their ideal body weight and are looking to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that persist despite the efforts of diet and exercise.

How is CoolSculpting® performed?

The patient is first assessed for the treatment and properly measured for the area they are wanting to target. The patient is asked to change in a robe in a private room so that access to the target area is easily obtained. Then, a non-invasive applicator delivers controlled cooling to the treatment area, specifically targeting underlying fat and leaving surface skin unaffected during quick treatments (about 1 hour). The low temperatures damage fat cells and kick them into a process of natural elimination, gradually reducing the thickness of the fat layer. The area is then massaged after the treatment and the patient is able to return to normal activity.

What is the recovery after CoolSculpting® like? 

CoolSculpting® is non- invasive meaning there are no needles or surgery involved and requires no downtime. That means patients can resume their daily routines immediately following treatment. Following your treatment, the area will appear red and swollen and some bruising may occur, but it’s easily hidden under clothes. Any swelling in the treated areas should resolve itself in a day or so.

What kind of results should I expect after a CoolSculpting® treatment? 

Patients typically see a fat loss of about 20% to 25% in the treated area. This doesn’t sound like much, but you have to remember that this treatment is targeting the fat cells that you can pinch with your fingers and most people will see a noticeable difference when they are wearing form fitting clothes or a bathing suit. The results of a CoolSculpting® treatment appear gradually, however, and patients can expect to see their final results after 2 to 4 months. Book now to see results just in time for summer.
