Your guide to body fat freezing treatment, CoolSculpting, for men and women
The team at Houston Dermatology Associates can help men and women with solutions for the hair, skin, nails, and body, including aesthetic services like CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is a body fat-freezing treatment that contours the body and reduces targeted areas of fat without invasive plastic surgery. It is great for both men and women. Let’s look at this treatment and the many common questions patients might have about it when they visit Drs. Farah Shah, Jennie Duffy, Emily Mintz, and Zena Zoghbi.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is best described by our staff as a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that utilizes controlled deep cooling to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It can be used on many areas of the body, addressing areas of fat that might not have been responsive to changes in diet and exercise.
Does CoolSculpting hurt?
Not at all! During the CoolSculpting procedure, you might feel a bit of cold, like holding an ice pack, and slight pulling or tingling, but most people relax, watch a show on their phone or tablet, or even nap throughout their treatment session.
How long does a CoolSculpting session take?
Typically, a treatment session lasts about 35–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. It is fast enough to squeeze into a lunch break and has no downtime afterward.
When will I see results from my body fat-freezing treatment?
Results are noticeable within one to three months as your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat. Patience is key, but the payoff is worth the wait for many of our patients seeking changes without plastic surgery.
Is CoolSculpting a safe treatment?
Yes, Coolsculpting is both safe and effective! CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and backed by science. It is a trusted choice for many of our male and female patients who want to target fat without surgery or downtime.
How many CoolSculpting sessions do I need to get the changes I desire?
This varies depending on your specific goals and the area being treated. Most of our patients are happy with their results after just one session, while others may prefer additional treatments for enhanced and more notable changes.
Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting treatment?
If you are tired of dealing with stubborn pockets of fat that will not budge despite diet and exercise, CoolSculpting might be the right treatment for you! However, it is not a weight-loss solution, so being close to your ideal weight is recommended before starting. We also prefer to perform this treatment on patients who already are living active, healthy lifestyles to ensure they enjoy the results for many years.
