CoolSculpting - Freeze Fat Away
The CoolSculpting procedure helps eliminate stubborn fat without surgery.
The CoolSculpting procedure helps eliminate stubborn fat without surgery. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. CoolSculpting was cleared for use by the FDA in 2010 and since then over 5 million treatments have been performed world wide.
Freeze away fat? It comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting technology delivers precisely controlled cooling to target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells.
We will develop a customised CoolSclupting treatment plan to suit you. Additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your individualised treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
After we select the area(s) to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied.
The CoolSculpting fat freezing procedure is completely non-surgical, so you can typically return to work and normal activities immediately.
In the weeks and months following your procedure, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good.
