CoolSculpting, much like many other procedures, can be a little confusing. What does it do exactly, how does it work, and is it right for you?
We asked you what you want to know about CoolSculpting, and Jess Larkin, Aesthetic Nurse and CoolSculpting specialist in our Westlake office, has your answers!
Coolsculpting works using the science of Cryolipolysis.
“An applicator is applied to the targeted area and in a short period of time literally freezes fat cells. Fats cells do not like cold and once the fats cells are frozen your body naturally eliminates the dead cells in 1-3 months resulting in 20-25% fat reduction in the treated areas.”
Generally speaking, if you have pinchable fat, you’re likely a candidate for CoolSculpting. This is officially determined during your initial consultation (which is complimentary—you can schedule that here).
