Do you have love handles? How about body fat that has accumulated in undesirable areas that just don’t seem to respond to diet and exercise? CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that makes it possible for you to have a healthier relationship with your body.
While CoolSculpting isn't designed for weight reduction, it’s widely regarded as the leading non-surgical body contouring treatment used by medical professionals. Health Canada has approved CoolSculpting for treating nine distinct areas of the body, including visible bulges under the jawline and chin, stubborn areas of fat around your inner and outer thighs, abdomen, flanks, and upper arms.
This ground-breaking procedure redefines your body shape by eliminating unwanted fat via freezing, all without the need for surgery or downtime. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, want to get rid of small areas of fat, and don’t have severe skin laxity issues, CoolSculpting is an excellent treatment option for enhancing your body contours.
As your go-to CoolSculpting experts in Calgary, Beacon Dermatology can help you achieve beautiful body contours and toned, natural-looking results that will boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
Fat freezing works by destroying fat cells. Medically referred to as Cryolipolysis, this process uses cold temperatures to target fat cells in areas such as your chin, arms, and abdomen.
Since these fat cells are particularly susceptible to cold, they can be frozen in a way that makes it possible for your body to naturally expel them. On average, the dead fat cells will be shed over a period of 2 to 6 months, facilitating a fat reduction of about 20-25% in the treated region(s). Even though this procedure works well, keep in mind that results are not immediate. Patience is necessary because your body must process and remove the fat cells, and that does not happen overnight.
Here are the areas where Health Canada-approved CoolSculpting can help you achieve your desired results:

After your CoolSculpting procedure, there are some aftercare recovery tips that will allow you to enjoy your toned results sooner rather than later. These tips include:
Our patients report that during the initial numbing part of the treatment, the treated area can feel very cold, like ice is being applied to the skin. Within 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 to 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.
To prepare for your fat freezing treatment, eat a light meal before your appointment and limit beverages. Bring a tablet, books, or magazines to keep you entertained during your treatment (however, movement is limited, so don’t bring too many activities). Wear comfortable clothing with an elastic waist or zipper so you can easily get changed, and wear compression garments underneath if required.
We will provide you with nutritious snacks and beverages while you receive your treatment. Feel free to nap, read, work or watch Netflix.
Our patients return to normal daily activities right after their treatment. There may be some discomfort in the treatment area, but no activities need to be avoided.
CoolSculpting results can last indefinitely, as the treatment permanently eliminates the targeted fat cells. However, maintaining your results depends on a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, to prevent new fat from developing in untreated areas.
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.
CoolSculpting works by targeting areas that tend to be most resistant to exercise and freezing the fat cells that exist beneath the skin. If you have love handles or other stubborn areas of body fat that seem intent to linger, CoolSculpting serves as a fantastic way to reduce subcutaneous fat because it works by freezing fat cells, damaging them, and forcing them to be naturally expelled by your body—forever!
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.
Yes, with our two devices, we are able to treat two areas at once such as the inner thigh/arm or abdomen/inner thigh. However, two treatments cannot be performed on the abdomen at once.
