If you are looking to shape and contour your body or address the appearance of hard-to-eliminate pockets of fat, then CoolSculpting® at Ideal Image may be the right treatment for you. Once you speak with one of our Aesthetic Consultants about your candidacy for this non-invasive treatment and schedule a session at your local Ideal Image, you will quickly enjoy body shaping and contouring with no downtime required.
Before the date of your FDA-cleared CoolSculpting® session at Ideal Image, you will want to follow all preparation instructions given to you by your Medical Professionals. After familiarizing yourself with the proper CoolSculpting® preparation techniques, you will be able to enjoy as our certified experts freeze away fat.
However, if you are someone who has decided to move forward with a CoolSculpting® treatment, you have likely already done your research and know that there is little to no preparation required before treatment. After all, some of the greatest benefits of CoolSculpting® are that it is a noninvasive, low-maintenance, and easy approach to reducing the fat in your body. So, what else is there to know about trimming extra fat without going under the knife?
It is still important to know how to prepare for CoolSculpting® appointments before your treatment. In order to ensure long-lasting results and an aesthetically pleasing contour during recovery, you should know exactly how CoolSculpting works.
How CoolSculpting® Actually Works
During treatment, the cooling device will precisely target pockets of fat and apply a cooling process that targets and freezes the fat underneath. Minimal discomfort is expected during the treatment, including a tugging sensation that then gives way to a numbing feeling. With no downtime and no recovery required, you can be in and out of the treatment quickly, depending on the target area, and back to your life in no time. Note that overall appointment times will vary.
What To Do Before CoolSculpting®
Your Medical Professionals will want you to know how to prepare for CoolSculpting® before the day of your session. That way, you know exactly how to ensure the best results while you have a great experience during the actual treatment. You also have time to reach out to your team of Medical Professionals and your Aesthetic Consultant should you have additional questions about permanent fat elimination prior to the treatment.
Here is what to do before CoolSculpting®:
- Ask Any And All Questions
Whether this is your first time receiving CoolSculpting® treatments or this is your first time visiting Ideal Image, you will feel a lot more comfortable with your treatment once you know what to expect. Returning clients can speak with their same team of Medical Professionals that have been with them throughout every step of their aesthetic journey. With up to 25% of treated fat cells eliminated after each session, it is easy to achieve the contour you want.
If it is your first treatment, you will have some time to consult with your Medical Professional, who will answer any and all of your questions. Use that time to ask about what you should do in the days and weeks following your CoolSculpting® treatment to support best results and address any additional concerns you might have. At Ideal Image, we value our clients’ comfort and understanding. It is crucial to fully understand the benefits of treatment and what to expect before, during, and after a session. The more you know, the better equipped you are to achieve your best results.
Spend time during the days leading up to your treatment researching the treatment and jotting down questions as you think of them. If you educate yourself beforehand, you will be able to have a better conversation during your consultation and can set appropriate expectations for your treatment and outcome.
- Bring Something To Kill Time
Many clients read a book or even do work while they receive their CoolSculpting® treatment. Since this treatment is non-invasive and does not require downtime following the treatment, you will be awake the entire time. While you will feel some physical sensations as the CoolSculpting® machine does its job, for the most part, you will be lying down without much to do.
Treatments can take anywhere from 30 minutes to upwards of two or three hours, depending on the area(s) being treated. You can either do something productive or just listen to music and zone out for the duration of your treatment. Many of our clients like to bring books or video games or even participate in workplace meetings while they are taking care of themselves.
