It’s a medical treatment known as CoolSculpting®.
The technology behind CoolSculpting was born in the 1970’s from the simple observation that children who were eating a lot of popsicles were developing dimples in their cheeks where dimples had not previously existed.  It was also observed that women riding horses in the winter were reporting fat loss on their inner thighs. Research determined that when fat is exposed to extreme cold for a specific period of time it will freeze, while other tissue remains unharmed.  Now, that called for some further investigation!  Surely this phenomenon could be put to good use!  

Research that was done at Harvard Medical School determined that when fat cells are frozen they crystallize and undergo apoptosis.  What this means in layman’s terms is that the cold exposure causes the cells to die much the same as they would from natural old-age. The difference is that when cells die of old-age they replicate themselves before they pass away. In this case there is no time to replicate.  After the treatment the crystallized fat cells clear gradually through the body’s natural physiological processes. Most people start noticing a difference at about the four week mark. At eight weeks the results are usually undeniable, and results continue to improve for four months.

Those fat cells are gone for good!

CoolSculpting works well, achieving results that are comparable to liposuction, but without the risks, discomfort or downtime of surgery.   This revolutionary fat freezing procedure is a clinically proven alternative to liposuction that can reduce localized pockets of fat.  CoolSculpting® is most often used to target fat on the abdomen, the outer thighs, and the flanks. Other areas that patients commonly seek out include back fat, man-boobs, inner thighs, double-chin, fatty knees and arms. In most cases only one treatment is required, although patients looking to de-bulk may require a second round.

CoolSculpting is Clinically proven to freeze away fat!

A CoolSculpting treatment begins with an assessment.  The treatment plan is mapped out to determine how many areas need to be treated to achieve the desired result.

1. CoolMax™ handpiece is for debulking and is usually used on the abdomen.

2. CoolCore™ is used on curvier areas or on patients who do not have enough fat to be candidates for CoolMax.

3. CoolCurve™ is for smaller figures or for sculpting areas with less fat.  It is also the applicator used to freeze chest fat on men.

4. CoolFit™ works well on arms and inner thighs.  

5. CoolSmooth™ is designed to treat fat on areas such as the outer thighs.  

6. CoolMini™ is uniquely designed to treat the double chin and other smaller areas of the body such as Knees

During a treatment a thin protective pad saturated with coupling gel is placed on the treatment area. This protects the skin from frostbite.  The appropriate applicator is applied and then you simply relax while the fat freezes.  Application of any of the hand pieces is known as a cycle. How many cycles you need to achieve the result you seek, will be determined at the time of your consultation.
