CoolSculpting is a revolutionary non-surgical fat reduction treatment that can help you achieve your best body. It cools targeted areas to eliminate fat cells without harming surrounding tissue. The CoolSculpter® freezes fatty deposits for up to 20 minutes at a time, resulting in permanent, safe, and effective weight reduction. CoolSculpting targets stubborn fat cells, resistant to traditional weight loss methods. Dr. Michael Paltiel can use CoolSculpting on almost any body area, including the abdomen, hips, love handles, arms, thighs, and other trouble areas.
The procedure is safe for most people and does not require anesthesia. The FDA has approved CoolSculpting as a treatment for the following conditions:
Loose skin
CoolSculpting is ideal for loose skin on your chest, abdomen, arms, and back area, making you look saggy or wrinkled after pregnancy or weight loss surgery. The procedure uses suction therapy to freeze the excess fat from these areas with no downtime.
Belly fat
Belly fat is the most challenging form of body fat to lose because it is located deep inside your abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs such as your intestines, liver, and pancreas. The best way to reduce belly fat is with a combination of diet and exercise plus non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting, which can effectively target stubborn areas of unwanted fat.
Fatty bulges
CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared procedure that can help improve the appearance of fatty bulges while reducing their volume and size. It is ideal for those who want to tighten their skin but do not want surgery or downtime associated with needles or incisions (like traditional liposuction).
Thigh fat
Thighs have always been a popular spot for women to target their unwanted fat because they’re visible and can be seen from the side view. Thighs are also common for cellulite, which can add unwanted pounds of extra weight to thighs if left untreated. CoolSculpting can help reduce thigh fat safely and comfortably with no downtime or downtime required before or after treatment.
Vertical neck lines
Vertical lines (marionette lines) on the neck are caused by a lack of collagen and elastin (the fibrous proteins that give skin elasticity). CoolSculpting can eliminate vertical neck lines because it targets fat cells, not collagen or elastin.
Uneven upper lip skin
Uneven upper lip skin occurs when fat cells are overactive in one area of the upper lip while inactive in another. That can cause upper lip asymmetry (unevenness), an unattractive trait for many women regardless of age or ethnicity. CoolSculpting safely cools these areas to eliminate excess fat cells while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.
CoolSculpting is ideal for patients looking to reduce the appearance and size of localized areas of fat in their bodies. It works on any site of the body. However, doctors commonly use it to reduce fat in the cheeks, chin, and neck. As a result, it is a very popular treatment for men and women who struggle with stubborn fat areas. You can contact your doctor if you are considering CoolSculpting. Your doctor will answer any questions you have about the procedure and discuss other health-related topics.
