Many people face a common problem when it comes to losing weight: stubborn fat that refuses to budge regardless of diet and exercise. Despite hours spent at the gym and diets that limit calorie intake, those pesky love handles or belly bulges can often be difficult to eradicate. One treatment that has shown promise in tackling this problem is CoolSculpting.
At Willow Medspa & Fitness in New Richmond, WI, we offer CoolSculpting, a non-surgical method for reducing unwanted fat in the body by freezing and eliminating fat cells. The treatment is safe and effective, with little to no downtime. It is a great option for those seeking a slimmer and more toned appearance without invasive surgery.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment for reducing stubborn fat pockets that resist diet and exercise. Utilizing advanced cryolipolysis technology, it precisely targets fat cells beneath the skin and cools them to a temperature that triggers their natural death while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
During a CoolSculpting session, a specially designed applicator is applied to the targeted area. This applicator delivers controlled cooling, effectively freezing the fat cells. Patients typically experience a cold sensation for the first few minutes that quickly dissipates. The treatment is generally comfortable, allowing patients to relax, read, or nap.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
When fat cells are exposed to cold temperatures, it causes them to crystallize and break down. Once these fat cells are damaged, they undergo a natural death and are gradually processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks. This reduction in fat cells is permanent, as the body doesn’t regenerate new fat cells in the treated areas. Since fat cells are damaged more easily by cold temperatures than skin or muscle tissues, CoolSculpting can target just the fat cells.
What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?
Targeted Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting precisely targets specific areas of the body. This precision allows for treating stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and under the chin, providing a more sculpted appearance where you need it most.
Non-Invasive Treatment
Unlike surgical options, CoolSculpting is non-invasive. No incisions or anesthesia are involved, meaning no scars and significantly lower risks compared to surgical fat reduction methods.
Minimal to No Downtime
After a CoolSculpting session, you can typically return to your daily activities immediately. This lack of downtime makes it ideal for those with busy lifestyles who cannot afford lengthy recovery periods.
Natural-Looking Results
The results of CoolSculpting appear gradually over weeks, mimicking natural fat loss. This gradual change ensures that your body transformation looks natural and harmonious.
Long-Lasting Outcomes
Once CoolSculpting destroys fat cells, they are gone for good. With a maintained healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting, encouraging a more stable and consistent body shape.
Safe and FDA-Approved
CoolSculpting is FDA-approved and has a proven safety record. This approval provides peace of mind, knowing the treatment meets stringent health and safety standards.
Comfortable Treatment Experience
Most patients find CoolSculpting to be comfortable, often spending their session reading or relaxing. The initial cold sensation typically subsides quickly, making it a tolerable and even pleasant experience.
Customizable Treatment Plans
CoolSculpting can be tailored to meet individual needs and goals. Whether targeting a small area or multiple body parts, treatment plans are customized for optimal results.
CoolSculpting Elite: The Next Level of Body Contouring
At our facility, CoolSculpting Elite is now available as a non-invasive option for reducing stubborn fat in targeted areas. CoolSculpting Elite represents the latest advancement in the world of non-invasive body contouring. Building on the proven technology of traditional CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite offers a more refined, efficient, and effective treatment experience. This upgraded system is designed to better target fat cells, providing enhanced precision in sculpting the body.
Dual Applicator Advantage
CoolSculpting Elite stands out with its ability to use two applicators simultaneously. This dual-applicator system allows for treating two areas simultaneously, effectively halving the treatment time for patients targeting multiple spots.
Improved Design for Better Results
The applicators in CoolSculpting Elite have been redesigned for better tissue contact and more uniform cooling. This improved design leads to more consistent and noticeable results, as a greater fat area can be targeted during each session.
Enhanced Comfort and Efficiency
Alongside its technical improvements, CoolSculpting Elite also focuses on patient comfort. The new applicators are designed to fit the body’s natural curves better, making the treatment more comfortable while ensuring optimal efficiency in fat reduction.
What to Expect From Your CoolSculpting Treatment
Your Initial Consultation
We recognize the individuality of each patient we serve which is why it is important that we get to know you first. We carefully evaluate your body type and the specific fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. We’ll also take the time to explain how CoolSculpting works and what kind of fat reduction results you can expect in your situation to make sure the treatment is the right fit.
Prepping for CoolSculpting
On the day of your body contouring treatment, wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and that allow easy access to the targeted areas. You should avoid heavy meals right before the treatment and make sure you’re well-hydrated. While there’s no need for extensive preparation, we’ll provide you with specific guidelines if needed. We also suggest bringing something to pass the time, such as a book or music, to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
Positioning the Applicators
Once you arrive for your treatment, we will position the CoolSculpting applicators on the specific areas identified during your consultation. Since CoolSculpting Elite applicators are designed to fit more snugly against your skin, you’ll be more comfortable and get better contact with the targeted fat. We make sure that the applicators are precisely aligned, so the fat reduction is uniform and consistent across the treated area. The fat will be gently pulled into the suction devices as the treatment begins.
The CoolSculpting Process
During your fat reduction treatment, you’ll feel an intense cold sensation as the applicator starts to freeze the fat cells. As the treatment continues, the area may feel numb which reduces the cold sensations. Treatments can take anywhere from one to three hours depending on how many areas you are having treated. With CoolSculpting Elite, treatment time can often be shorter because of the dual applicators.
After Your Treatment
You can return to most of your normal activities right away. We will give you any special aftercare instructions. You may have some redness and tenderness in the treated area. You can expect this to subside over the next few days. Proper hydration and gentle massage can encourage the flushing of fat cells and speed up recovery. Results will be gradual as your body responds to the treatment.
Good Candidates for CoolSculpting
Patients Close to Their Target Weight
CoolSculpting treatments are best suited to patients who are already near their target weight but are struggling with isolated pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. These patients typically have a BMI within a healthy range and are looking to fine-tune their body contours rather than achieve significant weight loss. CoolSculpting can help refine your body shape, focusing on those stubborn areas to give you a smoother, more sculpted appearance.
Patients With Pinchable Fat
Patients with fat that can be easily pinched or grabbed between the fingers tend to see the best results from CoolSculpting treatments. The device targets the subcutaneous fat layers, making it effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, love handles, and under the chin. If you can pinch the fat, it’s likely that CoolSculpting can reduce it.
Patients With Good Skin Elasticity
CoolSculpting results are enhanced in patients who have good skin elasticity. When your skin can naturally contract after the fat is reduced, you’re more likely to achieve a smooth and toned appearance.
Patients Committed to a Healthy Lifestyle
To maintain CoolSculpting Elite results, patients should be committed to a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. While CoolSculpting can effectively reduce fat in targeted areas, it’s not a substitute for overall weight management. Patients who continue to take care of their bodies after treatment are more likely to enjoy long-lasting, visible results.
