Coolsculpting
What is Coolsculpting?
Coolsculpting is not a weight loss treatment-it is the #1 non-surgical fat reduction treatment used by doctors.
Coolsculpting is Health Canada approved to treat 9 different areas of the body: visible bulges under the chin and jawline, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, flanks, bra fat, axillary puffs, underneath the buttocks, and upper arms.
Coolsculpting is an innovative way to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat away with no surgery or downtime. Its technical name is Cryolipolysis, which is the medical term for fat freezing. Fat cells do not like the cold and at a certain temperature they freeze while the water based cells do not freeze. Once this happens your body will naturally eliminate the dead fat cells in a 2-6 month period, resulting in a 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area.

01
Does Coolsculpting hurt?
Our patients report that during the initial numbing part of the treatment, the area can feel very cold, like ice is being applied to the skin. Within about 8-10 minutes the area is numb and our patients usually fall asleep or read. Once the applicator is removed a vigorous 2 minute massage is done on the treated area. The massage causes further damage the dead fat cells and helps them dislodge for the body to remove in the lymph system. Our patients report that the massage can be uncomfortable but it is 100% necessary.02
What can I do during my treatment?
We will provide you with nutritious snacks and beverages while you receive your treatment. Feel free to nap, read, work or watch Netflix.03
When will I notice the results?
Generally results are noticeable in 2-4 weeks of treatment, however the full results are not seen until 2-4 months. Unfortunately, if you gain weight, the results are not as noticeable.04
Is there downtime?
Our patients return to normal daily activities right after their treatment. There may be some discomfort on the treated area but there are no activities that need to be avoided.05
Are there side effects?
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging or mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching and cramping at the treatment site. The sensations subside when the area is numb. Following the procedure, the typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, tenderness, cramping, itching, skin sensitivity or the sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after a submental treatment. Rare side effects include visible enlargement of the treated area 4-5 months post treatment.06
