Coolsculpting by Zeltiq is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Hundreds of thousands of people in the United States have had great results with CoolSculpting and are also recommending CoolSculpting to their friends. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical way to eliminate unwanted excess fat in areas of their body that is resistant to diet and exercise. The CoolSculpting technology targets the unwanted excess fat cells and then freezes them under the skin without damaging the skin or nerves. After the fat is frozen, the cells slowly die and are absorbed and actually are eliminated naturally. Dr. Kole of the Kole Plastic Surgery Center, a certified CoolSculpting Center in Southampton, Bucks County PA has put together a list of commonly asked questions about CoolSculpting.
What are the side effects of Coolsculpting?
Although the vast majority of patients do not experience any side effects after CoolSculpting, some people may experience swelling or a slight tenderness to the touch in the treatment area. This usually resolves within a week after the procedure and is not permanent. You may also notice some numbness or itching which also resolves quickly.
Are the results of CoolSculpting permanent?
Like liposuction, there is a permanent reduction in the number of fat cells. The CoolSculpting results are permanent so long as you maintain your weight and level of general fitness. If you do gain weight then the fat bulges will obviously get larger as fat is the way your body stores extra calories.
What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting?
The areas of excess fat in the upper and lower abdomen, love handles, bra area and back fat as well as the thighs, arms and male chest area can be treated with CoolSculpting. How long before I see results with CoolSculpting?
Approximately 25% of the fat cells in the treated area are eliminated after one treatment with CoolSculpting. The results are noticeable at about 3 weeks and have reached maximum improvement at three months’ time. If you haven’t obtained the all the fat loss results that you want, then a second treatment may be performed.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting by Zeltiq in the Bucks County and Philadelphia varies depending on the number of CoolSculpting sessions you have. Usually the cost of a single session of CoolSculpting is $750 but there are discounts for larger treatment volumes.
