Considering CoolSculpting® treatments to help you achieve your desired body shape and boost your confidence? This revolutionary, non-surgical procedure effectively targets and reduces stubborn fat cells so you can attain your aesthetic goals without the need for invasive surgery 一and it’s available here at Wellington Rejuvenation Center in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.
As you prepare for your first CoolSculpting treatment, let’s walk you through what you can expect during the experience.
A consultation is the key to a great experience
Your journey always begins with a personalized consultation in our welcoming medical spa facility with Kelly DiStefano, MD, Wendy Champey, MD, or Ed Champey, MD, our CoolSculpting experts.
During your consultation, our team carefully assesses your body, discusses your goals, and formulates a tailored treatment plan to address your specific concerns. This is also the perfect time to explore the capabilities 一 and limitations 一 of CoolSculpting. This treatment can help reduce unwanted fat in the following problem areas:
- Back
- Belly and love handles
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Jaw (jowls) and chin (submental area)
Additionally, they explain the process in detail, so that you’re fully informed and comfortable moving forward.
What to expect on the day of your treatment
On the day of your treatment, you’ll be welcomed into a relaxing and state-of-the-art treatment room. You might be asked to change into a comfortable garment, depending on the area being treated. Your Wellington Rejuvenation Center specialist positions the CoolSculpting applicator precisely on your designated target area.
Application of cooling panels
The CoolSculpting applicator uses controlled cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells beneath your skin’s surface. As the cooling panels are applied, you’ll feel a cold sensation initially, which usually subsides as the area becomes numb.
Sit back and relax
Once the area is numb, you can sit back and relax. Many patients bring a book, watch videos, or even take a nap during the treatment, which typically lasts around 35 to 60 minutes per targeted area. The non-invasive nature of CoolSculpting means there’s minimal discomfort, so you can pass the time comfortably.
What to expect after the applicator is removed
After the applicator is removed, the treated area may feel firm, cold, or slightly tender to the touch. This is normal and will gradually subside over the coming days. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment, as there’s usually no downtime required.
When to expect results
The cold temperatures damage your fat cells without damaging your skin. This process is called cryolipolysis. Over the next few weeks, your body will naturally eliminate the targeted, damaged fat cells through your lymphatic system. As the unwanted fat cells are flushed away, a more contoured and sculpted appearance reveals itself. On average, people notice about a 25% decrease in fat in the targeted area. You may start noticing visible changes as early as a few weeks post-treatment, but the full results are usually visible within 6 months.
Schedule your follow-up treatments
Depending on your desired outcome and the customized plan you created during your consultation, you might opt for additional CoolSculpting sessions to further enhance your results. Each treatment builds on the previous one, helping you achieve your aesthetic goals step by step. Sessions are often scheduled 6-8 weeks apart.
Embrace your transformation
CoolSculpting offers a progressive approach to body transformation, so you can achieve a more toned look without surgery. That being said, CoolSculping isn’t a weight loss tool, and it works best paired with healthy habits like regular exercise and a well-balanced diet.
