Is CoolSculpting painful?

No, it is not. Many patients may find the initial few minutes of the process can be uncomfortable, however, within about five minutes you’ll lose sensation in the area and will easily be able to talk on the phone, read, use your computer, or even nap if your treatment position allows. The limited amount of pain from CoolSculpting is one of the main selling points of this procedure. If you are concerned about even a small amount of initial pain, we advise you to talk to the doctor during your consultation so they can put your mind at ease.

How many appointments will I need?

CoolSculpting is performed in “cycles”. Each cycle takes one hour and covers one area. We have 3 treatment plate systems – small, medium, and large – to accommodate different body sizes and areas. The time of the treatment, 60 minutes, is required for the tissue to reach the correct temperature to adequately initiate the cryolipolysis action. Love handles are independent cycles, so treating both sides would take two hours. Larger girth abdomen treatment will usually require two cycles to sufficiently target the entire area. Results are very individualized per patient. Generally, there is about a 25% fat reduction in the area treated with each treatment. It is normal to do anywhere from four to eight cycles in one CoolSculpting session, and on average most people require at least two sessions spaced about six weeks – three months apart.

How long until I see results?

Expect to see the full results in about four months. The process of fat breakdown and the body’s process of removing this fat is accomplished over time, so don’t expect a taut tummy right away. Developer Rox Anderson of Harvard Medical School estimates effects should last 10 to 15 years in those who maintain normal weight levels and good health.

Can I combine CoolSculpting with other procedures?

We can treat multiple areas with CoolSculpting, and depending on the additional treatment or procedure you are looking to add to your appointment, we can do a combination. Many of our San Diego area patients choose to combine their treatment with Dermal Fillers or other skin rejuvenation treatments like Microneedling or an IPL PhotoFacial . Our best advice is to discuss your desired aesthetic results with your provider during your consultation, as they will give you a more accurate idea of what is possible.

What are the risks associated with CoolSculpting?

The negative side effects of CoolSculpting® are quite minor. These effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, and skin sensitivity in the treatment area. Most side effects heal within a few days of treatment, and will not affect your usual activities. Our providers and medical staff can give you directions on how to alleviate pain or swelling after the treatment, should you experience any of these side effects.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is an innovation in targeted fat reduction with ZERO invasive action; ZERO dieting; and ZERO exercise. FDA-cleared, CoolSculpting is sweeping the country as the most proven method of ridding the body of resistant fat bulges that diet and exercise have failed to remove.

Developed by Harvard scientists, CoolSculpting’s unique, patented, clinically proven procedure involves freezing fat cells without damage to your skin. There’s no knife. No suction hoses. No needles. No lasers, even. By applying the treatment applicator to very specific body bulges, it is easy to streamline the waist, abdomen, and flanks.

What are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?

For many of our CoolSculpting patients in La Jolla and San Diego, these are some of the main areas on the body where this procedure has seen great results:

Love handles
Abdomen and “muffin top”
Flank
“Bra fat” or “bra roll”
Back fat for men
Outer thighs, inner thighs, and upper arms

While these are the most common areas of stubborn fat that we work with, talk to us if you are interested in treating a different area.

Who are the best candidates for CoolSculpting?

The ideal candidate for a La Jolla or San Diego CoolSculpting treatment should be at a fairly normal weight, in good health, and simply have small areas of fat that have proven hard to get rid of. You shouldn’t have any medical conditions that make this treatment hazardous. If you have any concerns, we will discuss your medical history to determine if CoolSculpting is right for you. We have spoken with CoolSculpting patients who have found that their CoolSculpting results gave them the incentive to begin new dietary habits which have resulted in weight loss, better health, and higher self-esteem. Any process that inspires you to take better care of yourself is an absolute “win-win”!

Unfortunately, CoolSculpting is not for everyone. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss program, nor will it be appropriate for obese patients or those with excessive fat accumulation.

What’s the first step?

The first step is to book a complimentary consultation with one of our providers. During this session, you will discuss your goals and examine the problematic areas, which the provider can then assess. It is important to share any crucial medical history or health issues with our providers so that we can give you correct information regarding whether CoolSculpting is right for you, and how it can benefit you. If you are interested in treating multiple areas, this is also a good thing to discuss during consultation.

Once your personalized treatment plan is created, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule your procedure date and provide you with instructions to follow that will help you achieve optimal results.

What to expect on the day of CoolSculpting Treatment

On the day of your appointment, we ask each patient to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Once inside the treatment room, our doctor will walk you through the process so you know the tools they will be using from start to finish. We spend one hour in each treatment area.

Vacuum pressure is used to pull targeted areas of skin tissue between two cooling plates. These cooling plates cause a drop in tissue temperature to close to freezing. Over the period of an hour, the fat cells harden, crystalize, and begin a process called cryolipolysis. This breakdown action of the fat cells is complete throughout 2 to 4 months, during and after which most patients see an undeniable reduction in the size of the treated area.

CoolSculpting recovery

After your treatment, you may feel a little sore (similar to a deep tissue massage), but you will be able to return to your normal routine. Accelerating the body’s flushing mechanism helps remove toxins and assists in maintaining normal weight. You’ll leave with a simple diet directive from our medical staff that helps you flush your system, potentially helping you see results faster. No pills, diets, or extra exercise are involved. You’ll be surprised to see what these simple “extra” intakes can do for you.

How much does CoolSculpting cost in La Jolla & San Diego?

If you are keen to get started on your CoolSculpting journey, go ahead and give us a call to book your free consultation.

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”
