What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting has grown in popularity to become the world’s most popular non-surgical and non-invasive body contouring solution in aesthetics today. By utilizing carefully controlled cooling, CoolSculpting works to freeze away deposits of stubborn fat.

Fat cells beneath the superficial layer of skin are targeted by this advanced cooling technology and frozen. Over time, these frozen fat cells are processed by the body and diminished, compressing the area. The result? A slimmer-looking you! Despite proper dieting and consistent exercise, millions of people across the country experience certain areas of their body holding onto stubborn fat.

Many body contouring treatments out there require invasive measures and that can come off as rather discomforting. Dr. Russo understands that effective treatment begins with your safety and comfort, which is why we now offer CoolSculpting in Boston as a non-surgical and non-invasive body contouring solution.

Benefits of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting has several major benefits in how it can contour and reshape your body to help you finally get rid of those fat deposits that refuse to go away despite regularly dieting and exercising. CoolSculpting can help diminish stubborn fat cells in various parts of the body, including the abdomen, back, chin region, thighs, arms, flanks, and more.

CoolSculpting Procedure

CoolSculpting is an outpatient, non-surgical treatment that will happen in the doctor’s office. You can treat each target area in less than half an hour, and continue on your day afterward. During your treatment with CoolSculpting Boston plastic surgeon, Dr. Russo applies the applicator to the targeted fatty area. This sends coldness from your skin into your fat cells and begins to freeze them. These fat cells then begin to coagulate, clumping together without upsetting the surrounding tissues.

This causes the fat cells to shrink and destroys them. Your body then responds to these dead fat cells and begins to work on flushing them out of your body in a natural, safe way. As a result, your fatty layer begins to decrease by up to as much as 30% in the part of your body you had treated. Even better, the results from CoolSculpting are permanent. The fat cells are destroyed. As long as you maintain your weight with healthy eating habits and consistent exercise, your results will be lifelong.

Recovery from CoolSculpting

Because CoolSculpting is non-surgical, you will not need any anesthesia and can drive yourself to your next appointment after your treatment is complete. You may experience a few mild side effects afterward, which include itching, swelling, and bruising. While these symptoms are different for every patient, your abdomen is the most sensitive area and may feel the most uncomfortable.

CoolSculpting FAQ

You may be working hard to keep your body healthy through proper diet and consistent exercise, but you still find areas of stubborn fat that refuse to go away. If you are at a stable weight but find your dissatisfaction growing in regards to fat on your body, Coolsculpting may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

It is possible to feel some discomfort during the treatment, but this may only be a mild level of pain. This is due to the suction device, which pulls on your skin in order to keep it stabilized between the two cooling panels. In addition, the targeted area also undergoes a brief massage after the treatment which can also be uncomfortable. However, this 2-3 minute massage is needed to stimulate the body into removing fat cells from the treated area.

Another way in which you might have discomfort during the procedure is from the applicator on the CoolSculpting device, which is cold and will cause your skin to go numb, which may be slightly painful for someone depending on the level of sensitivity in their skin. There is also some slight pulling and pinching from the device as your fat cells are extracted. This occurs only around 5-10 minutes during the total treatment time.

Not at all. Despite the grip from the CoolSculpting device, this treatment is non-surgical so there will be no incisions. It’s possible to have some swelling and bruising, but that is normal and should fade within a week.

Yes! CoolSculpting has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment option to help eliminate deposits of stubborn fat. Millions of people have been sculpted through this innovative technology and have seen amazing results.

Because CoolSculpting works by first freezing your fat cells and then allowing your body to naturally eliminate them, results aren’t immediately visible. Instead, they should start to appear in 3-4 weeks, with the most noticeable changes happening up to 8 weeks after treatment.

The results from CoolSculpting are permanent if you stay at the same weight because otherwise fat cells can return to the treated area if you gain weight afterward.

Coolsculpting treatment prices change according to which areas you have treated. The cost will also change if you have multiple areas treated or multiple treatments. Because CoolSculpting is an elective cosmetic treatment, it is not covered by insurance and you will need to pay out of pocket. There are financing and payment plans available if needed.
