If you struggle to get rid of that last bit of stubborn fat, we can help. At Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR, we offer CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared treatment that is used to help get rid of visible fat bulges. The treatment options with CoolSculpting are extremely customizable because it is approved to treat almost a dozen different areas on the body, making it a perfect choice for so many people that are struggling to reduce that last bit of fat in their areas of concern.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is one of the original and most popular body contouring treatments. Patients love CoolSculpting because not only is it non-invasive and painless, but it delivers real results. This body contouring treatment uses a unique device that freezes fat cells in a process called cryopolysis. Once fat cells freeze, they die, and the body eliminates them as waste using the lymphatic system.
The results appear gradually, so you’ll never at any point look as though you went and had something done to eliminate excess fat. This versatile treatment can target different problem areas and help you achieve noticeable results and significantly less fat volume.
The Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting treatments can eliminate unwanted fat cells from some of the most common problem areas in the body. We can use it to target stubborn fat cells on the abdomen, including the love handles, the inner and outer thighs, the knees, and submental fullness beneath the chin. It can also target stubborn fat that creates bra fat in women and back fat in men. It reduces fat volume on the upper arms and the area beneath the buttocks, known as the banana roll.
You can treat one or multiple areas during a session. Based on your treatment plan and areas of concern, we can help you target multiple areas at once so you can achieve your body goals and experience the most comprehensive results.
How It Works
CoolSculpting is a completely pain-free treatment, during which you can lay back and relax as the device completes a process that results in fewer fat cells in your problem area. Treatments take anywhere from 35 to 75 minutes based on the size and number of areas you want to treat. When you arrive, we will place a special gel on your skin and situate the device in your treatment area.
You’ll feel a cooling sensation as it freezes your problem areas, as well as a vacuum sensation, and within 10 minutes, the treatment area will become numb. You’ll be able to work, read, nap, or watch TV during your treatment based on your preferences. Once we remove the treatment pad and the gel used during the treatment process, we’ll massage the treatment area to help break apart the fat cells, which will help the body eliminate them more efficiently.
Your Results
It takes four to twelve weeks for most patients to begin seeing visible results, and the best results are evident six months post-treatment. Some patients benefit from one to two treatments; others need a series of CoolSculpting sessions to achieve their desired results.
One of the best ways to track your results is by taking before and after photos. Tracking your weekly visual progress will show tangible improvements in your problem areas. You can also use a measuring tape to track your results as your body eliminates fat cells, and you lose inches as a result.
Who Is a Candidate?
The best candidates for this body contouring treatment are patients at or near their goal weight who are looking for a way to target stubborn fat cells that don’t respond to traditional weight loss tactics. If your diet plan and your fitness routine aren’t delivering the kind of results you’re hoping for, CoolSculpting may be exactly what you need to fine-tune your body and tighten and tone different areas.
Pregnant and nursing women are not eligible for treatment. Those with extreme sensitivities to cold temperatures also may not be good treatment candidates. An initial consultation will help determine your treatment eligibility.
The Importance of Understanding the Treatment Process
Patients must have realistic expectations about the treatment and what it can and cannot do. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. It won’t help you lose a significant amount of weight but instead is a good option for patients who have already reached a healthy weight but want to further perfect their physique by losing additional fat volume.
Freeze Away Your Stubborn Fat
This unique and effective body contouring treatment can help you lose up to 25 to 30 percent of the total fat volume in your treatment areas. If you’re ready to experience a treatment that isn’t just a fad but will help you lose fat and enjoy permanent results, we can help. We will customize a treatment plan that will target your problem areas so you can achieve your ideal physique, look and feel better in clothes, and feel more confident in your appearance. Contact us today at Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR to schedule your consultation.
