Question 1

Does Coolsculpting work on arms?

Accepted Answer

Coolsculpting is an effective treatment for eliminating arm fat on the upper arms.

Question 2

How many times do you have to do Coolsculpting?

Accepted Answer

A Coolsculpting fat-reduction procedure works by freezing fat cells underneath the skin. Frozen fat cells are then naturally eliminated from the body. Each Coolsculpting procedure results in an average of 20% reduction in the treated fat cells, though results may vary. You will begin to see changes within a few weeks and the full benefits about three months after each Coolsculpting treatment. Remaining fat cells can be targeted by an additional Coolsculpting treatment.

The total number of Coolsculpting treatments you will need will ultimately depend upon the results you would like to see. At your initial consultation, we can give you a clearer sense of how many treatments you may need based upon your goals.

Question 3

Question 4

Is Coolsculpting safe?

Accepted Answer

A Coolsculpting procedure is a very safe, non-surgical way to reduce fat in areas like the neck (to reduce a double chin), back, arms, torso, and inner thighs. The Coolsculpting technology is able to target fat cells because of their greater sensitivity to cold. During treatment, only these fat cells are damaged, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

Question 5

How can I maintain the results of my Coolsculpting procedure?

Accepted Answer

A Coolsculpting procedure completely destroys targeted fat cells. In that sense, the results you'll achieve with Coolsculpting treatment are permanent. But it is always possible for you to gain weight after your Coolsculpting procedure. The best things you can do are eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Fortunately for those considering Coolsculpting, Toronto offers plenty of opportunities to pursue an active and healthy lifestyle.

Coolsculpting is FDA and Health Canada approved for the targeted reduction of fat cells in multiple locations, including under the chin, the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, and arms. Multiple peer-reviewed publications have demonstrated the effectiveness of Coolsculpting technology in the reduction of stubborn fat deposits without harming surrounding tissues.

Question 8

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and you will notice the most dramatic results after two to three months.

Question 9

Do you lose weight when you do Coolsculpting?

Accepted Answer

Coolsculpting isn’t a weight-loss solution. It is very effective for spot fat reduction and sculpting of your body through precisely-controlled cooling of fat cells. It can help make your clothes fit better, but it will not reduce your weight.

When it comes to losing weight, there are medical procedures that can be an option for those who want to lose substantial body fat. Such procedures include liposuction and gastric bypass surgery. For most people, however, surgical procedures aren't necessary. Diet and exercise are the best tools to use for weight loss. Moreover, a healthy lifestyle and an exercise routine aren't just helpful ways to reduce fat; they are also great for overall wellbeing.

Question 10

Does Coolsculpting hurt?

Accepted Answer

Coolsculpting is a very comfortable treatment. At the start of the treatment, the treatment area is cooled and quickly becomes numb. There is a brief massage at the end of the cycle, which some patients find slightly uncomfortable.

Question 11

Is there any recovery time following Coolsculpting?

Accepted Answer

There is minimal recovery time following Coolsculpting. Swelling in surrounding tissue is common and typically resolves in less than three weeks. Less commonly, patients report mild numbness or tenderness, bruising, redness, or firmness. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within three weeks as your body naturally processes the damaged fat cells.

Question 12

Does Coolsculpting tighten skin?

Accepted Answer

In addition to fat reduction, Coolsculpting has been noted to reduce skin laxity, likely as a result of stimulation of collagen production. If additional tightening of loose skin is needed, Coolsculpting can be followed by ultrasound tightening of the skin with Ultherapy.
