CoolSculpting
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is new, non-surgical alternative to liposuction that can gently and effectively reduce unwanted fat in problem areas with noticeable, natural-looking results. CoolSculpting selectively targets fat bulges in the abdominal area, love handles (flanks), and back using a precise and controlled method called Cryolipolysis™ which cools and eliminates fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that does not require the doctor to use needles or create surgical incisions. The benefits are no surgical scars, no anesthesia or pain medications, and no recovery time. You can resume routine activities, return to work and keep up your exercise regimen on the same day as the procedure.
What to Discuss
It is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor during the consultation. The CoolSculpting procedure does not remove large amounts of fat and the process CoolSculpting employs to produce noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction results takes time, so having patience, in addition to realistic expectations is also important. Keep in mind, CoolSculpting is not a substitute for weight-loss and does not produce results as dramatic as invasive, surgical procedures such as liposuction.
Most patients are good candidates for CoolSculpting. Those who are physically fit or at a stable weight within 10-15 pounds of their ideal weight, and who want to reduce fat bulges or bumps in problem areas that are resistant to diet or exercise are good candidates for CoolSculpting.
As always, you should discuss your medical history and any conditions, medications or other factors that may affect you with your doctor. Discussing CoolSculpting with a Zeltiq doctor your area is the best way to determine whether CoolSculpting is right for you.
