How does CoolSculpting work?

Developed by Harvard scientists, research has shown that when fat cells are frozen they crystallize and die, and that’s how CoolSculpting works. Cold exposure induces apoptotic cell death of subcutaneous fat cells. In other words, it 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 reproduce themselves before they pass away. In this case, there is no time to replicate.

How much does CoolSculpting cost in Calgary? 

This is our most frequently asked question! There are several factors that will affect the price of your treatment: How many areas do you want to have treated? How much fat do you have in each area? How much fat do you want going? Which clinic you choose to do your treatment will also affect the cost. How much CoolSculpting the clinics do and which generation of CoolSculpting technology is used to do your treatment may also affect the price.  SHOW ME THE COST >>   
  


What to expect with CoolSculpting?

1- Consultation/Assessment

A CoolSculpting treatment begins with a consultation. One of our CoolSculpting experts will sit with you in the privacy of one of our consultation rooms and give you all the information you need to make an informed decision. We will show you before and after photos of what CoolSculpting has achieved for some of our other patients (who gave us permission to show their photos) and let you know if you are a candidate. Based on which areas of your figure of physique you wish to have treated we can map out a treatment plan that will fit your goals, schedule, and budget. No judgement! No pressure! Just a conversation about how we can help you achieve your body goals.

2- Pre-treatment Photos and Planning

Prior to starting your treatment we will weigh you and take photos of the treatment areas from a variety of angles. Since the fat will clear gradually in the weeks following treatment these, base-line photos provide a record to refer back to for comparison purposes at the time of your post-treatment follow-up. What the eye doesn’t see every day the brain can forget, so most people really appreciate seeing the side-by-side visible changes. Coloured markings are then used to map out the treatment plan and precisely identify exactly where to place each cooling device to create the best possible contour.

3- How CoolSculpting Works

Once you are comfortably positioned on the treatment table, a thin gel pad will be placed on your skin to protect the skin from frostbite. The appropriate cooling device is placed against the markings and gentle suction draws the fat into the applicator. Over the next 35 to 45 minutes the fat crystalizes while the surrounding tissue remains unharmed. The gel pad and applicator are then removed and the treatment area is massaged for two minutes. This brief massage can be uncomfortable, but most people tolerate it well. Bringing the fat back to room temperature quickly improves the efficacy of the treatment significantly.

4- During the Treatment

The area will feel cool but not intensely cold for approximately 5-10 minutes, a sensation that subsides as the area becomes numb. Then you feel nothing. Your technician will make you comfortable with blankets and pillows and offer beverages and snacks. She will provide you with our guest wifi password, a remote for the television, and leave you to relax while the fat freezes. Some people use this time to answer emails, read or simply nap. You will have a pager to call your technician in case you need anything. Your technician will have a timer and will return promptly when the treatment is completed.

5- After the Treatment

The crystallized fat cells are gradually removed over the next few weeks and months through the body’s natural physiological processes. Most people start noticing a difference at about the 4-week mark but the most dramatic results occur after about 8 weeks. Results and patient experience may vary, but an average of 20-25% of the treated fat will be gone for good! A follow-up visit at approximately 12 weeks post-treatment will allow us to take photos for comparison purposes and see the before and after results side-by-side. Some people opt to do the additional treatment(s) for further fat reduction or contouring.

There are other body contouring treatments…so why choose CoolSculpting?

Non-surgical body contouring is tremendously popular so it makes sense that many manufacturers of aesthetic devices would want a piece of the pie. Numerous new body treatments have entered the market. Some use various methods to rupture the fat but leave the fat cell intact so the results are only temporary. Others attempt to destroy the fat with heat. Some dissolve the fat with injections. Some of the treatments are painful. Some put the skin and surrounding tissues at risk and some can leave contour irregularities if not done properly. Unfortunately, some simply do not work. 

CoolSculpting is safe, comfortable, and clinically proven to get rid of the MOST fat! 

Proven Track Record: In the past nine years, more than 8 million CoolSculpting procedures have been performed on men and women worldwide. Areas that can be treated include the abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, back fat, bra fat, “banana roll,” upper arms, male chest fat and beneath the chin. It is the most utilized body contouring technology in the world by a very wide margin.

Clinical Studies: The CoolSculpting procedure is safe and it works well! The proof is in the 100+ clinical studies that validate its effectiveness. Other body contouring treatments might have a study or two, maybe a few more, but CoolSculpting has over a hundred! The clinical evidence consistently speaks for itself.

Highest Satisfaction Rate: With thousands of reviews, CoolSculpting has the highest “Worth It’ rating of all non-surgical body contouring treatments. It also won the New Beauty Award for Best Overall Fat Fighter for the past three years in a row.

Does a massage using a “vibrational fat blasting machine” help CoolSculpting work better?

Clinical studies show that results are significantly improved when the treatment area is massaged after CoolSculpting. If using a machine to perform the post-treatment would help the treatment work better than a manual massage would, we would offer it. We did, in fact, test and compare both methods of massage by doing a split trial on flanks with a demo unit that was loaned to us. We massaged one flank with the vibrational machine and the other using manual massage. The side where we used the manual massage lost significantly more fat. Click here to see the before and after comparison for yourself.

Coolsculpting FAQ

  • Does CoolSculpting have any risks? +

    The answer to this question is something we explain fully during your CoolSculpting consultation at Skinpossible. CoolSculpting is the medical treatment that freezes away fat. ⁣It is safe, non-surgical, comfortable, and over 11 Million treatments have been performed worldwide!  ⁣⁣ ⁣ Like all medical aesthetics treatments, there are some precautions, risks and contraindications you need to knowabout.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Prior to any consultation at Skinpossible we have you complete a detailed intake form that tells us if you are a candidate. If there is any reason why we cannot safely and confidently proceed with treatment, we occasionally need to deny treatment. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ While we love delivering the results you want, your safety is our first priority!⁣ ⁣⁣A question that is on the minds of many these days has to do with the risk of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia. The definition of paradoxical is “absurd or self-contradictory” and adipose hyperplasia means that fat increases in size. In view of the reliability of CoolSculpting to reduce localized fat without surgery, it does seem absurd that this could happen. Unfortunately, it can happen at any clinic and to anyone, without explanation. Fortunately, this complication is extremely rare, occurring only 1/10,000+ treatments, and the increased size is almost always minimal. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Risks are always discussed during every consultation at Skinpossible!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Yes, despite its long safety profile, there are risks associated with CoolSculpting just as there are risks in undergoing any procedure. It is extremely unfortunate when PAH occurs, but in the rare instances when this has happened it can be corrected with surgical liposuction. The good news is that CoolSculpting works!⁣⁣  ⁣⁣CoolSculpting provides a safe, reliable alternative to surgical liposuction! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣If you would like to know more about CoolSculpting don’t hesitate to call Skinpossible and book a consultation and assessment. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
  • Can I return to normal activities after my treatment? +

    Yes you can. The procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.
  • Do I need to take special supplements, or follow a diet or exercise program for CoolSculpting to work? +

    No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt any diet and exercise habits in the weeks following your treat-ment. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment.
  • Should a nurse do my CoolSculpting treatment? +

    If there was any benefit whatsoever to having a nurse do your CoolSculpting, we would definitely have a nurse performing these treatments. There is no need for injections or anesthesia, so it is not necessary for a nurse to do your Coolsculpting procedure. If there are any concerns or reasons for caution our doctor will personally review your treatment plan before proceeding. Instead, we have highly trained and experienced laser technicians who specialize in medical aesthetics. They’ve also been trained to give an extra measure of pampering, so you feel well taken care of during your treatment.
  • Why is there conflicting information about how much time a CoolSculpting treatment takes? +

    The previous generation of Cooling devices required 60-75 minutes per cycle compared to the shorter treatment times of only 35-45 minutes with the new updates. The upgrades make Coolsculpting far more comfortable during and after the treatment as well.
  • What happens during the treatment? +

    You and your clinican first select the area(s) to be treated. Your clinican will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.
  • Is the CoolSculpting procedure safe? +

    Remarkably so! There are very few health concerns that would contraindicate you from having the treatment. The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared and Health Canada approved. With over 5million CoolSculpting procedures worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
  • Can I return to normal activities after my CoolSculpting Treatment? +

    Yes, you can. The procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.
  • Do I need to take special supplements, a strict diet and exercise program? +

    No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew again by taking even better care of themselves.
  • Where does the fat go? +

    Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body.
  • What does CoolSculpting feel like? +

    Does CoolSculpting hurt? It can be somewhat startling when the fat is drawn between the cooling plates but this is much more comfortable with the gentle suction of the new generation of cooling devices. It feels cool (but not cold) for 5-10 minutes and then you feel nothing at all. The two minute post-treatment massage is uncomfortable (rated 3.7 out of 10) but it is usually we tolerated and over quickly.
  • When will I see results from CoolSculpting? +

    You may start to see changes as quickly as 3-4 weeks after your treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. Your body will continue to clear fat for up to four to six months after the treatment.
  • Can I have CoolSculpting and SculpSure at the same time at Skinpossible? +

    Absolutely! Your consultant will make recommendations on the best possible treatment plan utilizing either or both of these two remarkable non-invasive body-contouring technologies.
  • How many treatment areas can be treated at a time at Skinpossible? +

    Because we have three CoolSculpting machines and a SculpSure laser, technically four (or more) That would be rare and somewhat awkward unless you have the flexibility of Gumby. We have found that we can usually treat two areas with Coolsculpting easily and we do this every day. Now, with the addition of SculpSure, we can also offer CoolSculpting and SculpSure in the same treatment plan and potentially perform both treatments at the same time.
  • Would Lipotrophic Fat Injections help me get better results from CoolSculpting? +

    Lipotrophic injections can be used in connection with a medically supervised weight-loss program to help the liver metabolize fat.  If Lipotrophic injections would help enhance CoolSculpting results we would offer them.  The truth is that nothing is required to help break down the fat after your CoolSculpting treatment.  The fat is cleared through the body’s lymphatic system.  The liver has nothing to do with it.  FYI, in the absence of strict dietary restrictions that accompany medically supervised with(weight) loss programs, the injections will do nothing to cause weight-loss.  For more information to go to: https://iapam.com/mic-injections
  • What is the purpose of the massage after CoolSculpting? +

    When tissue has been frozen, returning it to room temperature quickly causes further damage. That is why people suffering from hypothermia need to be “thawed out” slowly. In the case of CoolSculpting, however, we want to cause further damage. The two minute post-treatment massage restores the crystalized fat to room temperature quickly, and improves efficacy of the treatment significantly!
  • What will my results be after CoolSculpting? +

    Typically, each CoolSculpting treatment results in an average of 25% reduction of fat in the treated area. After the initial treatment is complete, you can attain further reductions with additional treatments, resulting in even more fat loss. Treatments can be repeated as early as four weeks, or at any time, if further reduction is desired.
  • Why do some people feel CoolSculpting is “Not Worth it?” +

    Firstly, as with all treatments, CoolSculpting results do vary from person to person. There are hyper-responders, average respond-ers, low responders and, unfortunately, a rare non-responder. Justifiably a few people are disappointed with their results, but on the flip side, most are satisfied and many are delighted. The most common reason for the few reviews that claim the treatment didn't work has nothing to do with the treatment at all. It has to do with the simple fact that what the eye doesn’t see every day the brain forgets. When people return to the clinic for post-treatment photos, sometimes they have forgotten what they looked like before. The photos almost always leave them convinced and happy. The “not worth it” reviews are often written by people who did not return to their treatment provider to see their before and after comparisons. CoolSculpting has the highest “worth it” rating of all body-contouring treatments.
  • Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting? +

    CoolSculpting is not for weight-loss. It is a body contouring treatment that can reduce localized areas of fat. An ideal candidate will be within 30 pounds of their ideal weight, but anyone wishing to reduce a localized area of fat could be a good candidate. Only the area of fat that is treated will be reduced in size so it is important to have realistic expectations. 
  • How is it that CoolSculpting can get rid of fat but is not for weight-loss? +

    Fat is not heavy compared to its volume. A single pound of fat is the size of a pound of butter. When you think about reducing fat from a localized area, a small weight change makes a big difference. When you look at before and after photos of CoolSculpting results, the best examples will be those that show little or no weight-change. If the weight has not changed the fat-loss is clearly a result of the treatment, not weight-loss results from diet or exercise.
  • Can I exercise after CoolSculpting? +

    You could go straight to the gym immediately following your treatment. The treated area will feel tender for a few days but there is no reason to not exercise.
  • Do I need to massage the treated areas every day after CoolSculpting? +

    No, this is part of the post-treatment instructions following SculpSure, but is not required after CoolSculpting.
  • Are there any side effects from CoolSculpting? +

    Inflammation is to be expected and the nerves in the fat that was treated will be temporarily desensitized. It is normal to feel a numb sensation afterward but this typically resolves within a few days or 2-3 weeks at most. Bruising is not uncommon and at some point within the first two weeks you may experience one or more of the following sensations: deep itching, tingling, pain in the treatment area, mild to severe cramping, muscle spasms, aching and/or soreness. Side effects have been dramatically reduced since the introduction of the new cooling devices. Other less common side effects will be discussed at the time of your consultation.
  • How many times will I need to have CoolSculpting done? +

    It only requires one treatment to see undeniable results, although many people opt to do another round of treatments for further reduction. Those who wish to debulk should expect that a second round will be required.
  • Can CoolSculpting achieve liposuction results? +

    Yes, it absolutely can, and it can do so without the risks of plastic surgery. It is important to have realistic expectations, however. A single round of non-surgical body-contouring cannot get rid of as much fat as a single lipo-suction plastic surgery can. Additional treatments could be required to achieve results comparable to plastic surgery. The cost for CoolSculpting is less so additional rounds could still cost less than plastic surgery. Another thing to consider is that non-surgical body contouring cannot correct loose skin like a tummy tuck can.
  • Can CoolSculpting be used safely on all Skintypes? +

    Yes, we can do your treatment no matter what your ethnicity.
  • What happens if I gain weight after CoolSculpting? +

    The fat that clears after CoolSculpting will be gone for good and many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, are motivated to take even better care of themselves. If you do gain weight, however, the weight will be more likely to accumulate evenly all over your body, not localized in the treated areas where it previously tended to accumulate.
  • Does CoolSculpting feel really cold? +

    The coldest part of a CoolSculpting treatment is the gel pad that is applied to the skin prior to application of the cooling device.  Oddly, while this gel pad is at room temperature it feels ice cold.  The purpose is to protect the skin from frostbite.  Once the cooling device is applied it feels cool but not cold for 5-10 minutes.  Then the nerves become desensitized and you feel nothing at all.  The 2-minute post-treatment massage is the most uncomfortable part of the CoolSculpting treatment but most people feel this is quite tolerable. 
  • Is there any advantage for me to have my CoolSculpting done at the clinic that offered it first? +

    Since it’s introduction in 2011 the technology has evolved greatly with the introduction of new machines and new improved applicators.  On the contrary there would be a definite disadvantage to having the treatment done with the first CoolSculpting machines to hit the market.  
  • Is SculpSure better than Coolsculpting? +

    In some cases, SculpSure is a better option than CoolSculpting. That is why we purchased it. According to the clinical evidence, SculpSure does not remove more fat than CoolSculpting or get rid of fat faster. Perhaps the content writers for those websites have not read the studies. CoolSculpting, when it includes post-treatment massage, clears an “average” of 25% of the treated fat. SculpSure can clear “up to” 24%, although it is usually significantly less. CoolSculpting and SculpSure each have unique advantages, and at Skinpossible you have both options.
