Have you been trying to get rid of that final pocket of fat? Sometimes despite following a healthy diet and taking part in regular exercise, you need that final helping hand. Introducing CoolSculpting.

If you want to reduce or remove fat cells, without undergoing surgery, CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is an increasingly popular option. It uses cold to reduce or remove fat cells by freezing them in the desired target areas to -11 degrees Celsius. This destroys the cells which, over time, become eliminated by the body through its own natural process.

The treatment only affects the specific areas treated, and the advanced technology used by CoolSculpting treatment means that there is no requirement to have any kind of anaesthetic or surgery. In addition, there is no downtime required after the treatment.

What are the benefits of CoolSculpting?

During the 35-45 minutes that a CoolSculpting session takes, unwanted areas of fat are reduced, and the removal process begins. The results will start to become apparent within the first few weeks after the procedure, with the final results showing at around 12 weeks. CoolSculpting permanently destroys the fat cells in a particular area, so they will not return. With no recovery time required, you are able to carry on with your busy schedule right after treatment.

There is no need to worry about anaesthetic or needles with this fat freezing treatment as it is entirely pain free. All you will feel is be a mild tingling and numbness while you are having the procedure. CoolSculpting can be used to treat areas including the thighs, buttocks, stomach, back, flanks and chin.

Are there any risks?

It is important to weigh up the risks involved against the benefits that the treatment can bring – just as with all types of medical aesthetic treatment.

Your medical aesthetic practitioner will talk you through any risks and complications, although possible side effects are usually minimal. They can include a tingling and mild pinching feeling during the procedure.

Is it right for me?

If you have been working hard at the gym and you have been making healthy choices in your diet, but there you are still struggling to shift certain pockets of fat, then CoolSculpting could be the right option for you.

In order to best achieve your desired results, your BMI should be no higher than 30, and you should live a healthy lifestyle. During your consultation with us, your medical aesthetic practitioner will take details of your medical history which will allow us to understand if CoolSculpting treatment will be right for you.

More FAQs

What’s the difference between SculpSure and Coolsculpting?

While CoolSculpting and SculpSure treatments achieve the same goal – removing fat - the way that this is achieved differs. CoolSculpting removes the fat cells through freezing, and SculpSure removes the fat cells through heat. Coolsculpting treatment takes longer than SculpSure. Most areas of the body will take 35-45 minutes to complete, while SculpSure will take approximately 25 minutes for most areas of the body. Coolsculpting numbs the skin, so the procedure is not painful. It can be a better choice for anyone wishing to remove larger areas of fat. SculpSure uses heat without hurting the skin.

How does CoolSculpting work?

During CoolSculpting, areas of fat are cooled to -11 degrees Celsius using state-of-the-art technology. The cold kills the fat cells in the targeted area without affecting any surrounding tissue. Through its natural processes, your body will then naturally remove these treated fat cells from your body.

Who is suitable for CoolSculpting?

At your consultation, your medical aesthetic practitioner will detail your medical history so that they are able to determine if CoolSculpting will be right for you. In general, though, CoolSculpting treatment is suitable for people who have stubborn areas of fat that refuse to shift through diet and exercise.

How many CoolSculpting treatments will I need?

You will be given detailed advice regarding the number of CoolSculpting treatments you will require at your consultation, but as a guide this depends on which areas are to be treated and the size of the area/s of fat that you are seeking to reduce. For example, treatment on the stomach may take longer than chin fat, as it’s a larger surface area and the fat will be denser.

What is the recovery time for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting does not require any recovery time, so you will be able to go about your daily activities straight after the procedure.

How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?

Treating one area of the body with CoolSculpting takes from 35-45 minutes. If you want to treat several areas in the same session, it can last anywhere between one and three hours.

Are there any areas of my body that are not suitable for CoolSculpting?

This procedure can be safely performed on most fat-prone body areas, including the chin, neck, stomach, thighs, abdomen, hips, flanks, back, arms and buttocks. It can't be used on the face, calves, feet, ankles or hands.

Are the results of a CoolSculpting treatment permanent?

The fat cells eliminated are permanently killed off and can't come back. It's important to remember, though, that new fat cells can grow in their place, so you'll need to try and keep your weight consistent if you want the results to last.

What happens if I gain weight after my CoolSculpting treatment?

The results are long lasting, but if you put on any weight after your procedure, it's possible that fat could again gather in the area that you've had treated. That's why it's best to stick to a healthy lifestyle and diet.
