Coolsculpting Q & A
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® is an innovative nonsurgical body sculpting tool that gets rid of unwanted pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise by freezing and destroying them. Once destroyed, your body processes them through your lymphatic system and eliminates them.
Dr. Venkatesh uses CoolSculpting to shape many problem areas, including:
- Belly and love handles
- Thighs and buttocks
- Back and bra fat
- Upper arms
CoolSculpting is so safe and effective, Dr. Venkatesh can even use it to get rid of the stubborn fat under your chin, medically referred to as submental fat.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
Dr. Venkatesh determines if you would benefit from CoolSculpting after a consultation. It’s not meant to be used as a tool for weight loss, and you should be at or close to your desired body weight, with a body mass index of 30 or less.
If you’re struggling with your weight, Dr. Venkatesh offers a medical weight-loss program that helps you reach your target weight quickly and safely. His weight-loss program is considered one of the best in the region.
What can I expect during CoolSculpting treatment?
During your treatment, you may initially feel a cooling sensation as the freezing energy reaches your fat cells. That coolness disappears within 5 to 10 minutes as the area goes numb.
Your treatment time varies depending on the area, or number of areas, being sculpted, but shouldn’t take more than an hour. Dr. Venkatesh provides a treatment plan before you get started so you know what to expect and how to plan for your body sculpting session.
There’s no downtime following your CoolSculpting, so you can go right back to your usual activities after treatment.
How long until I see results from my CoolSculpting?
You should notice an improvement in your shape about three weeks after treatment, with continued improvements over the next six months. Once the fat is gone, it doesn’t come back. However, Dr. Venkatesh recommends you follow a healthy diet and exercise program to help maintain your new shape.
