How Coolsculpting® Elite Works
During the procedure, a noninvasive applicator delivers controlled cooling to the treatment area to specifically target and eliminate fat cells the day of your treatment, permanently removing the treated layer of fat. Patients can resume daily activities immediately following their treatment.
Over the next three to four months, the body continues to flush remaining fat cells through the lymphatic system. Noticeable results are generally seen within the first two months following treatment.
Treatment plans are designed with each individual patient carefully in mind, and are unique to each individual’s specific needs.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND cryolipolysis Procedures
The CoolSculpting® Procedure, developed by ZELTIQ,™ is based on sound science called cryolipolysis. The scientific principles of cryolipolysis were discovered by renowned dermatologists Dieter Manstein, MD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD, of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
Research demonstrated that, under carefully controlled conditions, subcutaneous fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissue. These Harvard studies and other research confirmed that fat cells, when exposed to precisely controlled cooling for a sustained period of time, undergo a gradual reduction and cell death through a process called “induced apoptosis.”
The dead fat cells are broken down and digested by the immune cells in the body. The fats themselves are naturally processed by the liver.
The coolsculpting® fat reduction treatment difference
NO NEEDLES. NO SURGERY. NO DOWNTIME.
CoolSculpting is the only procedure that uses patented cooling technology to target and eliminate fat cells with no damage to surrounding areas.
The delivery of precise cooling affects only targeted fat cells, leaving adjacent tissue unharmed and intact. It is FDA-cleared in the U.S. for non-invasive fat reduction.
Performed at our Wilmington Plastic Surgery Landfall office, the procedure allows patients to sit or lie comfortably, read, work on their laptops, or even nap during the procedure. While uncommon, a small percentage of patients may experience pain related to their treatment. In 100% of cases, the pain has naturally subsided over time.
