4 CoolSculpting Myths

CoolSculpting is still a new procedure, but that does not mean there has not been enough time for myths to pop up. If you have heard any of the CoolSculpting myths below, don’t believe them!

#1 I Can Lose a Lot of Weight with Cool Sculpting

CoolSculpting is not for dramatic weight loss. It is a fat reduction procedure, not a weight loss procedure. The procedure reduces stubborn area fats that do not respond to diet and exercise. A single CoolSculpting session can reduce fat in the treated area by 30%. This will result in a one or two pound weight loss. 

#2 It Will Tighten My Skin

CoolSculpting mainly is for fat reduction under the skin. It has no effect on the top layer of skin. So, it is not a treatment for lax skin. It will not improve sagging skin, either.

The good news is this: If you have good, elastic skin, it will contract to match your new shape as the body slowly flushes out the fat after your CoolSculpting treatment. 

#3 CoolSculpting Is Only for the Abdomen

Wrong! This procedure works well on many areas. CoolSculpting actually came about due to research by two scientists who noted that children who eat a lot of popsicles tend to get dimples. So, the procedure can be used to reduce fat in many spots: 

·         Love handles

·         Muffin tops

·         Arms

·         Thighs, and more

#4 I Will See Immediate Results

No, you won’t. This is a safe and effective treatment, but the results won’t be seen for 2-3 weeks. That is how long it takes for the body to flush out the dead fat cells.

Freeze Your Fat Cells to Death!

Do you have annoying love handles, saddlebags or muffin top that drives you crazy? Then consider CoolSculpting, the new, FDA-approved way to reduce fat cells by literally freezing them to death!

The Cool Sculpting device, in the expert hands of Dr. Fiorillo, freezes fat cells so that they experience natural cell death. This means that one trouble spot on your body, such as love handles, can have its number of fat cells reduced by 20-30%. That number can increase to 50% if you have another session approximately one month later. 

This means that you can lose a few inches or clothing sizes over 60-90 days, without any pain or invasive surgery. CoolSculpting truly is a game changer in cosmetic procedures. 

How Does Cool Sculpting Compare With Liposuction? 

Liposuction may be able to remove up to 100% of the fat cells in a part of the body. However, liposuction is an invasive procedure that has down time, infection risks, and is more expensive. And some liposuction patients discover that they actually gain weight in other areas because the treated area no longer has any fat cells. 

What Does It Cost? 

CoolSculpting costs from $500-$1500 per treatment, per body area. Most doctors agree that two sessions are needed to provide the best long term results. Each session takes about one hour, and you can go back to your regular activities right away. 

How Does It Feel? 

CoolSculpting is not completely painless; it feels a bit like a cold vacuum cleaner on the treated area. You might feel at first as if you had the breath sucked out of you. Your doctor may provide you a numbing cream to ease some of the minor pain.

How Can I Lose Fat with CoolSculpting?

One of the common misunderstandings in cosmetic surgery is that weight loss and fat reduction are the same. This is not the case. 

When we lose weight, the fat cells actually shrink in size, but the total number of fat cells in the body is the same. When we gain weight, those fat cells get bigger. 

However, with CoolSculpting, the procedure shrinks the fat cells in the areas being treated. Clearly, if the fat cells are removed from the body, they cannot get larger again. 

Another benefit of Cool Sculpting over weight loss operations and other non-surgical weight loss options is that the results will last permanently. Once the fat cells are taken out of your body, they are gone forever!

Imagine how it will feel to have that annoying, fatty part of your body look smooth and sleek after the Cool Sculpting procedure! 

How CoolSculpting Works

As you probably know, many of us have stubborn pockets of fat that are tough to eliminate despite diet and exercise. The new Cool Sculpting technology uses Cryolipolysis, or controlled cooling, to target and kill those specific fat cells. 

In the weeks after the procedure, the fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body. 

How Long Will It Take? 

When you come into Dr. Fiorillo’s office for your consultation, he will create an individualized plan of treatment for you. The length of each CoolSculpting session will depend largely on how many areas you want to treat. Most treatment plans involve at least two or three sessions.
