CoolSculpting Before and Afters Gallery
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared fat-reduction treatment that uses a patented technique to freeze and rid the body of unwanted fat cells — the fat cells diet and exercise can’t eliminate. Your medical provider can perform your CoolSculpting procedure during your Spa Sydell visit, and you can immediately return to your busy day and enjoy your active lifestyle — without downtime or recovery — as your body eliminates your unwanted fat.
The Science Behind CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting originated from two forward-thinking dermatologists, Dr. Dieter Manstein and Roz Anderson, from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. They noted two cases of fat loss from exposure to cold.
- 1970, via New England Journal of Medicine - An infant developed Panniculitis, or inflammation in the subcutaneous fat, after having a popsicle rest on the inside of her cheek for five minutes.
- 1980, via JAMA Dermatology - Female equestrians developed Panniculitis on their outer thighs after riding horses for long periods in cold weather.
Based on these reports, and in combination with their own findings, Drs. Manstein and Anderson developed their own hypothesis called Cryolipolysis, which is a selective cold-induced injury to fat cells that spares the surrounding tissues; including skin, muscles and nerves.
What are the benefits of CoolSculpting?
A CoolSculpting treatment has many benefits, including:
- Permanently eliminating unwanted body fat
- Improving your body’s tone and contours
- Leaving adjacent muscle and skin tissues unharmed
- Complimenting your healthy diet and exercise routines
What areas does CoolSculpting treat?
CoolSculpting can safely and effectively treat:
- Submental area
- Thighs
- Knees
- Abdomen and flanks
- Bra fat
- Back fat
- Lower buttocks area (“banana roll”)
- Arms, upper arms, under bicep ("bat wings")
What Happens to Fat Post Procedure?
The treatment area(s) look completely normal post-procedure.
- After 3 days the procedure initiates the apoptotic cascade, and the cells will begin to die. The inflammatory cells then begin to infiltrate the fat.
- At 7 days after the procedure, the inflammation increases. It continues to intensify over the next 2 weeks to 30 days.
- By 90 days, most injured fat cells have been removed.
Over 100 peer-reviewed journals have shown CoolSculpting body contouring does not damage the epidermis, dermis, nerves, or blood vessels.
Am I a Good Candidate For CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a way for individuals to target stubborn pockets of fat. The procedure is not best for all-over fat reduction, but rather for targeting a specific area or areas.
While most healthy individuals can have a CoolSculpting treatment, talk to your medical provider if you have one of the following conditions, which are contraindicative for a CoolSculpting procedure: cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. If you do have one of these rare conditions, your provider can discuss other options.
CoolScultping has not been studied on children, women who are pregnant or lactating, those with hernias in or around the area to be treated, or those with diabetic neuropathy.
CoolSculpting Questions
What can I expect during my CoolSculpting procedure?
During your CoolSculpting session, your provider will apply a gel pad and applicator to targeted area(s). The applicator will then deliver controlled cooling to the area(s) you’ve chosen to target. CoolSculpting is very comfortable, and you can read, use your smartphone or nap during your procedure if you like. Afterwards, your provider will perform a manual massage on the treated area. This improves the efficacy of the procedure by up to 68%.
Does CoolSculpting have any downtime?
No. CoolSculpting is a fast, noninvasive procedure that requires no downtime.
Numbness in the area treated may be mild and temporary and can last up to three weeks. However, it generally does not impact a person's daily activities. You can leave Spa Sydell and resume normal activities with no aftercare requirements.
When will I see my CoolSculpting results?
Some patients may begin to see some improvements after three weeks. The majority of individuals will have their results around eight weeks after treatment. Improvements will continue to develop for up to six months in some patients.
The lymphatic system in your body will start to get rid of the fat cells that were damaged by CoolSculpting. This will happen in the weeks following the treatment. As this process continues, you will start to experience the toning and contouring results of your body contouring procedure.
How long will my CoolSculpting results last?
Over time, your body will eliminate these dead fat cells, and they will not regenerate. It is permanent.
How Much Fat Will I Lose?
You can expect to reduce fat by up to 25% per treatment area. Depending on goals and personal anatomy, additional treatments may be recommended.
How much is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is priced per applicator. The amount of applicators needed is determined during your consultation. Consultations are free and pricing is discussed prior to treatment.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment, designed to painlessly and permanently destroy fat in the treatment area or areas.
What can I expect during a CoolSculpting Treatment?
Applicators will be attached to the treatment area or area(s) as discussed during your consultation. You will notice a cooling sensation initially as you begin to numb. The fat cells then crystallize and die at a temperature that doesn't harm the surrounding skin, nerves, muscles, or blood vessels. Treatment lengths vary, but you can expect to your visit to last from 1-3 hours.
Can CoolSculpting Help Tighten Loose Skin in the Treated Areas?
CoolSculpting primarily targets fat reduction by freezing and eliminating fat cells. It is not designed to address loose skin.
Some people may experience minor skin tightening due to the body's natural response to fat loss. However, results can vary. For significant skin laxity, our providers may recommend other treatments, like skin tightening procedures, to achieve optimal results.
How Should I Prepare for My CoolSculpting Session?
To prepare for your CoolSculpting session, follow these steps:
- Stay hydrated, as this helps with your body's healing process.
- Wear comfortable clothing on the day of your appointment to allow for ease and relaxation.
- Discuss medications or supplements with your provider to ensure they don't interfere with the treatment.
- Photos will be taken to track and monitor progress.
Is There Any Pain or Discomfort Associated With CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting generally causes minimal discomfort.
You may feel an initial sensation of cold, pressure, or tugging as the applicator targets the fat cells. However, these feelings usually subside as the area becomes numb.
After treatment, some patients experience mild soreness, bruising, or swelling in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and should resolve on their own.
How Many Sessions Do I Need for Optimal Results?
The number of CoolSculpting sessions required varies depending on the individual's goals and the size of the treatment area. Your provider will assess your needs during your consultation and recommend a personalized plan. In most cases, 1 to 3 sessions are sufficient.
You can expect to see a reduction of up to 25% per session.
Can Men Undergo CoolSculpting Treatments?
Absolutely! CoolSculpting is a popular and effective solution for both men and women. Men often use CoolSculpting to target stubborn fat in areas like:
- The abdomen
- The love handles
- The chest
- The chin
The procedure works equally well for men. It also provides a non-invasive option for improving body contours without surgery or significant downtime.
Can I Combine CoolSculpting With Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, you can combine CoolSculpting with other cosmetic procedures to enhance overall results. Many people pair CoolSculpting with skin tightening, laser therapies, or injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers.
Combining procedures lets you address several concerns at once. For example, you can reduce fat while improving skin texture or enhancing facial contours.
Consult your provider to develop a safe, customized treatment plan that integrates CoolSculpting with other aesthetic services to help you meet your goals.
