CoolSculpting® is one of the most popular and effective body sculpting modalities for minimizing stubborn pockets of fat on the body. CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses patented cooling technology to eliminate fat cells, without surgery or downtime. The CoolSculpting® before and after results continue to amaze me and my clients!
CoolSculpting Before and After One Treatment
Most clients will benefit from a series of three to four CoolSculpting® sessions per treatment area, but some patients will see a benefit about four weeks after just one treatment. The reason there is a waiting period is that the body needs time to metabolize and clear out the destroyed fat cells before you will be able to notice results you can see and feel. You should expect to have a series of three to four treatments (spaced one to two months apart) for treating body areas with higher fat density, like the stomach or thighs.
Candidates for Maximum CoolSculpting Before and After Results
The most ideal candidates tend to have the best outcomes. You’re an ideal candidate if:
- You’re within 15-30 pounds of your ideal weight
- You have stubborn fat that’s difficult to lose, or an area out of proportion to the rest of your body
- You already follow a healthy lifestyle
- You’re willing to commit to healthy habits to maintain your results
Not sure if you’re a CoolSculpting® candidate? Even if you don’t check all the boxes above, CoolSculpting® can be effective. Schedule a free consultation and we can help put together a personalized plan based on your unique needs and goals.
Common CoolSculpting Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting® can be performed on a number of body areas, the most popular being the areas of the body that are the most difficult to reduce fat in no matter how much you workout and diet. CoolScultping® can remove up to 20-25% of fat cells in each treated area, making it a great choice for men and women alike:
-
CoolSculpting® Before and After Chin:
We can minimize the submental chin (commonly called the double chin, jowls or turkey neck) with CoolSculpting®. Better yet, treatment can be enhanced with Botox® and facial fillers like Voluma® along the jawline and/or platysmal bands (the two strips of muscle that run vertically down both sides of your neck). Ideal Image offers these minimally invasive injectables too. -
CoolSculpting® Before and After Stomach:
When you reduce fat cells on and around the stomach, you can create a slimmer, more trimmed appearance and allow your natural muscle to become more visible. When your abdominal muscles are more visible, they become great candidates for CoolTone®, a magnetic muscle stimulation treatment that is like doing 20,000 situps in 30 minutes. -
CoolSculpting® Before and After Arms:
The arms are one of the hardest places to tone, especially for women. CoolSculpting® can minimize fat, showcasing muscle tone more effectively. It’s the perfect treatment if flabby arms, or batwings, are making you feel less confident. -
CoolSculpting® Before and After Thighs:
The upper legs and thighs are one of the most popular areas we treat with CoolSculpting®, we love to help our patients feel their best all year round, including shorts and swimsuit season.
CoolSculpting® requires no needles, no surgery and no downtime. It is a is noninvasive fat reduction procedure that requires no anesthesia or incisions. It’s based on the science of cryolipolysis, which uses the body’s natural cellular response to freeze and break down fatty tissue. These fat cells will then die gradually and be eliminated by the body over the following weeks. The process leaves the muscle, nerves and other body tissues completely unaffected.
We also offer skincare products to help enhance and extend your CoolSculpting® results. Our Body Sculpting Bundle is designed to accelerate and enhance your results by removing up to 2X volume loss in 12 weeks when combined with CoolSculpting® treatment. And you can save 50% on CoolSculpting® and 15% off our entire skincare line by becoming an Ideal Image Lifetime Guarantee Member.
