Kole Plastic Surgery of The Kole Plastic Surgery Center Center in Southampton, Bucks County PA, introduces CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permanent fat removal without surgery. CoolSculpting works by gently cooling unwanted excess fat cells in the body thereby producing a controlled elimination of excess unwanted fat cells. Based on research the Massachusetts General Hospital, this revolutionary breakthrough is based on the fact that fat cells are more susceptible to cold than the skin or bloodvessels under the skin and the fat cells are killed and are selectively and permanently destroyed. Starting about three weeks after the CoolSculpting procedure, the cooled fat cells begin a process called “apoptosis” or programmed cell death and the unwanted fat deposits become smaller. Your body naturally eliminates the cooled fat cells reducing the thickness of the resulting fat layer.
Unlike many other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting requires no needles, no incisions, no surgery and requires no downtime. During the CoolSculpting procedure, a non-invasive vacuum applicator head uses a vacuum to draw the skin and fat into the applicator head which delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment targeting the deposits of extra fat. Each treatment session for each area lasts one hour.
Each CoolSculpting procedure results in the approximate fat reduction 25-40% of the fat in the treated area. Patients will start to see results as soon as three weeks following the CoolSculpting treatment, with the final results visible in three to four months in most patients.
