CoolSculpting Overview

What is CoolSculpting®?

“Stubborn fat” is called that for good reason: it’s nearly impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise. And almost everyone has it. This is why we offer CoolSculpting® in San Diego at Laser Cliniqúe. After your treatment, you’ll notice those persistent fat bulges begin to shrink and disappear, leaving you with a more sculpted body. It’s good to note that CoolSculpting® isn’t a weight loss procedure, and although you may not see a difference on the scales, your clothes will fit better and you’ll look slimmer.

How does CoolSculpting® work?

In 2005, the CoolSculpting® process (cryolipolysis) was discovered and developed by two doctors working with Harvard Medical School. In cryolipolysis, fat cells are frozen. Once the fat cells are crystallized, the body will gradually process them as waste over the next few weeks. The result is a more toned, attractive body contour. Only the fat cells are frozen, so you don’t have to worry about surgery, scars, or downtime.

What areas are commonly treated with CoolSculpting®?

There are several areas of the body that can be treated with CoolSculpting:

Abdomen
Buttocks
Inner thighs
Upper arms
Waist

Double chin
Male chest
Love handles
Back/bra fat

How much does CoolSculpting® cost in San Diego?

CoolSculpting® is a very affordable procedure, as there’s no anesthesia, surgery, or overnight stay in the hospital, which reduces the cost compared to liposuction. The cost of CoolSculpting® in San Diego, as it is in most cities, ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, with an average cost of $1,625. If you intend to have multiple areas treated, you should expect to pay between $2,000 and $4,000.

The specific cost of CoolSculpting® will be based on:

• A consultation of one’s own goals for the procedure
• What location(s) will be targeted
• How many treatments will be required for the desired outcome

CoolSculpting® treatment details

CoolSculpting® is a quick, non-invasive procedure with no anesthesia, needles, or lasers. During treatment, a gel pad is placed on your skin, and panel applicators use controlled vacuum pressure and cold to target the treatment area. While the process isn’t painful, you may feel some discomfort from the cold and vacuum pressure, including tingling, numbness, or a pinching sensation. Most patients find the treatment tolerable and can relax, read, or nap during the session.

Each area typically takes about 30 minutes to treat. The number of sessions you need will depend on your personalized treatment plan. Many patients see results with just one session, while others may need more. Dr. Ataii will determine the best approach for your goals during your consultation.

CoolSculpting Applicator

CoolSculpting® applicator upgrades

With our new upgraded applicators, CoolSculpting® treatments are even more comfortable and effective. Treatments take less time (35 minutes; almost half the regular time of a CoolSculpting® appointment), and more tissue can be treated. There is greater comfort, better results, and a larger cooling area thanks to the new cup design and colder temperatures.

We also offer CoolAdvantage Petite, perfect for persistent upper arm fat (“bat wings”). Arm fat is the third most frustrating area on the body to lose weight, which is exactly why the CoolAdvantage Petite applicator was designed. This is one of the only non-invasive fat removal technology approved by the FDA to treat upper arms.

What is the Recovery for CoolSculpting?

Coolsculpting® treatments require very little to no recovery or downtime. While patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, sensitivity, redness, or soreness in the treated area, they are usually able to resume their regular activities. We recommend staying well hydrated and giving the treated area a chance to “breathe” in order to speed recovery time. This means no leggings for tight clothing for a few days.

Results from CoolSculpting

Early results will be visible within 2-3 weeks of treatment, with continual improvements seen gradually over the next 8-12 weeks. At that point, some 90% of targeted fat cells will be gone. Exercise (even if it’s light) and a healthy diet will speed up your results, and these results will essentially last forever if you take good care of your body.

The fat cells that were destroyed will never return; however, if you end up gaining weight, the fat cells do remain in the treated area(s) can become larger, thereby compromising some of the results that CoolSculpting® achieved. This is why it’s important to maintain a healthy, stable weight. Nothing lasts forever unless you maintain it!
