You work hard to achieve the body you want, so it can be frustrating when certain areas do not respond to diet and exercise. If you are dealing with stubborn pockets of fat, CoolSculpting, as offered in our Southlake office, can be an effective and solution to target fat deposits in specific areas. Learn more information about our Med Spa and how you can take advantage of these exciting non-surgical techniques!
CoolSculpting is a state-of-the-art technique to address fat deposits, using cooling pulses to break down fat cells so your body can naturally dispose of them.
This treatment works because fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than the surrounding cells. Our CoolSculpting team in Southlake uses the proper temperature control during this noninvasive fat reduction treatment to remove excess fat and give you a trimmer, toned look!
CoolSculpting permanently destroys fat cells. It does not mean you will not gain weight again, as fat cells are known to expand, but the cells destroyed by your CoolSculpting treatment are gone for good. Knowing that CoolSculpting is a permanent procedure can help you make the right decision.
Usually, when you discuss body contouring, the first thought many people have is liposuction, which can remove 30 to 40 percent of the unwanted fat cells in your target region per procedure. It is a form of surgery, which means it has the potential for more risks and includes a week or two of recovery.
CoolSculpting targets the same regions that liposuction does, but removes up to 20 percent of target fat cells per treatment session, making it an ideal option for patients who do not need extensive work done. It is a nonsurgical and noninvasive body contouring treatment, so you can often get back to your day-to-day activities within 24 hours.
You will begin with a consultation with our team to discuss your aesthetic goals and review the treatment options that are best for you. In this consultation, we will discuss the regions you would like to target, such as your “double chin,” your inner and outer thighs, or the love handle or “muffin top” area. After discussing your options, you will then schedule your CoolSculpting procedure at our Southlake facility.
When you arrive for your CoolSculpting appointment, our team will escort you into a comfortable room. The esthetician will apply the gel pad and applicator to the target regions, which will then deliver cooling pulses to the fat cells. Many people experience a sensation of pressure due to the light suction from the applicator. This takes roughly one hour, during which you can read, browse the internet, or any other activity that relaxes you. Once the cooling pulses are finished, the esthetician removes the applicator and massages the target region so the targeted areas are even.
You can achieve targeted fat removal goals with help from our skilled team at North Texas Plastic Surgery. Overseen by our elite plastic surgeons, we stay on the forefront of the latest cosmetic technologies.
