What is CoolSculpting?

Coolsculpting in Vancouver at Yaletown Laser Centre

CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure that helps people to enhance their body shape and improve self-confidence. This surgery-free option has many benefits, such as it being non-invasive and patients do not need significant recovery time. With new technologies such as CoolSculpting creating a buzz in the cosmetic world, you may be wondering if it is a good option for you. So, let’s take a closer look at what CoolSculpting is and how it works.

Understanding CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting, also referred to as cryolipolysis, uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells. By freezing these cells they are destroyed and then subsequently eliminated by the body’s natural mechanisms. The advantage of CoolSculpting lies in its ability to specifically target areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise efforts alone.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

Fat cells in the body are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than the tissues that surround them. When CoolSculpting is applied using a specially designed device, the fat cells are destroyed without affecting other types of tissue. This makes it a safe alternative to surgery, with little recovery time needed.

What to Expect During a CoolSculpting Session

When you attend a CoolSculpting session, you will have an initial consultation so you and your practitioner can work out what areas you would like to target. The procedure itself is typically not uncomfortable and patients often feel a mild cooling sensation and possible temporary numbing due to the cold temperature. 

CoolSculpting Post Treatment

After your CoolSculpting treatment, you may experience some temporary skin redness, as well as some mild swelling which soon reduces. It is fine to continue with your usual daily activities and you do not need to take time off work while you recover.

What Body Areas Are Treatable with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is an effective fat-reducing treatment that works on various parts of the body. This includes the stomach, thighs, and arms, as well as parts of the face such as under the chin. The beauty of CoolSculpting is its versatility, allowing you to sculpt and define many areas with ease.

Getting The Best Results from CoolSculpting

Most people will see results from CoolSculpting around three weeks after their session, as this allows time for the body to begin processing and eliminating the damaged fat cells. Around two months after treatment, you will be able to see more noticeable differences. This gradual change gives a more natural outcome, allowing you to step out in confidence without worrying about sudden dramatic changes in your appearance.
