Do you have love handles or other fat deposits that just haven’t budged no matter how much you’ve exercised? Non-surgical CoolSculpting treatment can finally help you get rid of that excess fat. Dr. Jorge Garcia-Zuazaga and Dr. Brian Moore, your Cleveland, OH dermatologists, explain how you can benefit from CoolSculpting treatment.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting kills fat cells by freezing them. Once they’re dead, they’re naturally eliminated by your body. Because only fat cells respond to the treatment, your healthy cells won’t be damaged by CoolSculpting. The treatment can reduce fat deposits by as much as 20 percent in just one visit.

Is Cool Sculpting right for me?

CoolSculpting treatments are used to:

• Reduce love handles
• Get rid of fat deposits in the abdomen and flanks
• Thin the inner and outer thighs
• Remove back fat, bra fat and banana rolls under the buttocks
• Treat double chins and reduce neck fat

What happens during CoolSculpting treatment in Cleveland?

Before treatment begins, a gel pad is placed against your body to protect the skin. CoolSculpting treatment requires the use of a special applicator that uses suction to hold the skin firmly against the device. As you might imagine, the treated area will feel very cold when the applicator is turned on. As the treatment proceeds, the area may start to feel numb, but not uncomfortably so. In fact, treatments provide the perfect opportunity to catch up on your reading or play games on your phone.

Are there any side effects?

You may notice a few mild side effects after CoolSculpting treatment, such as redness, bruising, swelling, tingling, cramping, aching or itching. Some side effects go away within hours after treatment, but others, such as bruising, may last a few days.

When will I see results?

The most dramatic changes occur about two months after treatment, but most people notice a decrease in fat deposits within three weeks of their first CoolSculpting treatment.
