CoolSculpting FAQs
Am I A Good Candidate For CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an ideal treatment option for generally healthy men and women with hard-to-lose pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting patients should have a BMI lower than 34 and be at or near their target weight before treatment. Patients who should not receive CoolSculpting include those with chronic pain, a history of hernia in the treatment area, chronic pain, a history of eating disorders, health conditions affecting the lymphatic system, or certain autoimmune disorders. Patients who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should not receive CoolSculpting.
What Are The Risks And Side Effects Of CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is noninvasive and poses minimal risk. However, there are some risks and side effects of which patients should be aware. You are likely to experience a tugging or pulling sensation as targeted fat is drawn between the cooling panels for cryolyposlis. Immediately after treatment, some patients report aching, stinging, or pain in treated areas. You may also notice redness, bruising, swelling, and sensitivity in the treatment area. Cold exposure is likely responsible for these side effects. These conditions typically last about two weeks. A rare but serious risk associated with CoolSculpting is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, which involves enlarging cells within the treatment area. While this concern is entirely cosmetic, this condition will not resolve without intervention and requires surgical correction.
How Long Is Each CoolSculpting Treatment? Can I Have A Session On My Lunch Break?
One of the many benefits of CoolSculpting is its convenience. Each treatment lasts one to two hours or more, depending on the size of the area to be treated. You’ll know in advance how much time to allot for your visit, following an initial consultation. Most likely, you’ll be positioned comfortably enough to read, work, or watch your favorite show. And because it’s non-invasive, there’s no downtime after your appointment.
