Dermatologist near Huntley, IL freezes your fat away with CoolSculpting
Posted by Dr. Vikram KhannaWhat is CoolSculpting?
Coolsculpting is the only FDA-approved method to freeze fat away. An innovative body reshaping procedure, CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to get rid of small areas of excess fat for cool.How CoolSculpting freezes away fat
On treatment day, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the target treatment area to protect the skin from the cooling. The CoolSculpting device creates a sucking sensation as it adheres to the bod. As the CoolSculpting procedure continues, it delivers targeted cooling to the fat cells causing them to die. Fat cells crystallize faster than other cells, so nearby tissue remains untouched.What to expect with the CoolSculpting procedure
During treatment, it’s normal to feel pulling, pinching, tingling, intense cold, aching, or cramping at the treatment sites. As the area becomes numb, these sensations will lessen.Treatments take about one hour per applicator per site. There is minimum discomfort; most patients relax by reading a book, listening to music, or even working on their laptop during treatment.
After the treatment is over, the provider will gently massage the area to help with fat reduction, and then patients are free to leave. There is minimal downtown with the procedure.
Over the following weeks and months, fat cells will continue to die and be naturally eliminated by the body. Patients can expect anywhere from a 20-25% fat reduction in the treatment area, although multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
In the weeks following CoolSculpting, patients will find that clothes fit better and the contours of their body beginning to take a new, slimmer shape. During the consultation process, we can determine how many CoolSculpting sessions are recommended for desired goals.
Who are candidates for CoolSculpting?
