CoolSculpting FAQ
Conveniently located to serve Lynchburg
WyndHurst Aesthetics is pleased to offer CoolSculpting for patients seeking a non-invasive body-contouring treatment. This FDA-approved procedure uses targeted cooling technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells. In this CoolSculpting FAQ, we will address common questions surrounding CoolSculpting, giving you a comprehensive understanding of this innovative treatment.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body-sculpting treatment that uses cryolipolysis to target and eliminate fat cells. By exposing specific areas of the body to precisely controlled cool temperatures, CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells, causing them to crystallize and be naturally eliminated by the body.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
A specialized applicator delivers powerful cooling to the underlying fat cells that will cause them to break down. Over time, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the treated fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.
Which Areas of the Body Can Be Treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting can be used to address stubborn fat in various areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, upper arms, double chin, bra fat, back fat, and underneath the buttocks (banana roll).
Is CoolSculpting a Weight-Loss Procedure?
The treatment is not intended for weight loss but rather for targeting specific areas of stubborn fat. CoolSculpting is a body-contouring treatment that helps refine and enhance body shape rather than reducing overall body weight.
What Can I Expect During a CoolSculpting Treatment?
During a CoolSculpting session, you will feel a cooling sensation as the applicator is applied to the targeted area. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and many patients find it comfortable enough to read, work on their laptops, or simply relax during the procedure.
Is CoolSculpting Safe? Are There Any Side Effects?
CoolSculpting is considered a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary sensations of pulling, pinching, or mild discomfort during the treatment. Afterward, common side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own within a few days or weeks.
How Long Until I See Results from CoolSculpting?
Results from CoolSculpting treatments are not immediate, as the body takes time to naturally eliminate the treated fat cells. Typically, noticeable improvements can be seen as early as three weeks after treatment, with more pronounced and satisfying results appearing over the following months. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve desired outcomes; a personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Are CoolSculpting Results Permanent?
Once fat cells are eliminated from the body, they do not regenerate. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding and altering the treatment results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is best suited for individuals who are at a stabilized healthy weight and who have areas of stubborn fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate is to consult with the experts at Wyndhurst Aesthetics. They will evaluate your unique needs and goals.
