When considering CoolSculpting, it’s important to select a provider with extensive experience and proven expertise.

Keep in mind that not all clinics offering CoolSculpting have the same level of skill or technology. The placement and type of applicator used can significantly impact your results. Since each body area may require a specific applicator, our office is equipped with a full range of CoolSculpting applicators, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your unique needs. Choosing a provider with the right tools and training is essential to achieving the best possible outcome.

This particular device is equipped with a unique applicator specifically designed for a small amount of fat under the chin. It is effective in reducing fat in this specific area, defining the jawline, and enhancing the beauty of the face. The treatment requires two sessions, with a one-month interval between each treatment. The CoolSculpting procedure also results in some skin tightening. If there is still some laxity in the skin, radiofrequency can be used in another treatment session to stimulate collagen production. The options for radiofrequency treatment include Tempsure Envi, Thermage CPT, or Excilis. Radiofrequency is helpful in skin rejuvenation. These can also be used in combination with a facelift.

The number of sessions depends on your body type, treatment area, and goals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your fat distribution and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve optimal results.

Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to discuss your medical history and treatment goals.

To maintain your health and well-being, it is crucial to follow good guidelines for diet and exercise. Our patients who have achieved the greatest success in maintaining their CoolSculpting results consistently engage in gym workouts and physical activity to maintain their muscle mass. Good nutrition includes eating foods like lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while minimizing the consumption of processed sugar. They drink plenty of water and get adequate sleep. We strongly urge you to maintain a healthy body weight after this treatment and avoid weight gain. Maintain healthy habits to maintain your new form.

CoolSculpting is designed to reduce fat not tighten skin. So in most cases skin adjusts naturally as fat is reduced. Especially if you have good skin elasticity. If you already have loose or sagging skin the reduction in volume can make laxity more noticeable. A dermatologist can determine if you would benefit from combining CoolSculpting with skin tightening.

CoolSculpting permanently removes the treated fat cells so they won't come back. However, the remaining fat cells in the untreated areas can still expand. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results.
