Coolsculpting, or fat reduction with cold technology.

CoolSculpting is a fat reduction technology that uses cold temperatures. It's a new innovation in fat removal that differs from traditional methods. Its key feature is the use of freezing temperatures to eliminate fat. Developed by doctors Dieter Manstein and R. Rox Anderson from Harvard University in the United States, CoolSculpting works by delivering freezing temperatures beneath the skin into the fat layer. This causes fat cells to die and be naturally eliminated from the body, resulting in a firmer, more toned figure.

CoolSculpting is considered the first and only device currently approved by a world-class institution like the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It has research proving its effectiveness and safest approach to body fat reduction compared to other fat removal methods.

Coolsculpting: Fat reduction with cold technology.

 

Coolsculpting, a fat-reducing treatment using cold temperatures, helps reduce fat in various areas and improve body shape in just a few weeks after treatment. This cryolipolysis technology was invented and developed by a team of doctors at Harvard Medical School. The device works by delivering freezing temperatures of -11 to -13 °C through the skin into the subcutaneous fat layer. Naturally, fat cells are not tolerant of cold. When exposed to extreme cold for a period of time, the cells gradually die (apoptosis). Once the fat cells die, they are eliminated like other dead cells. White blood cells break down these dead cells and expel them through the natural circulatory system. This makes Coolsculpting highly safe because it is non-surgical, does not involve incisions or suction, and does not leave scars or fibrosis under the skin like liposuction. Therefore, no anesthesia or sedation is required, and there is no downtime; patients can return to work or their normal lives immediately after treatment.

Who is Coolsculpting suitable for?

Some people already have a good figure and physique, but have problems with accumulated fat in certain areas that they want to get rid of for better health and a more proportionate body. CoolSculpting is a program that addresses and solves this problem directly.
It's important to note that while intense exercise can lead to weight loss and a slimmer figure, your body shape may not change as much as you'd like, resulting in an undesirable physique. For individuals with physical limitations in exercising, such as muscle or bone pain, that prevent them from exercising as desired, or those with stubborn localized fat that won't budge despite exercise, CoolSculpting is a suitable option for them.

  • CoolSculpting is suitable for people who exercise but still have excess fat in areas that are not as toned or firm as desired.
  • CoolSculpting is suitable for postpartum mothers who have accumulated fat in the abdomen and other areas.
  • CoolSculpting is suitable for people who want to reduce fat in specific areas that are difficult to remove.
  • CoolSculpting is suitable for those who want to reshape their body without surgery.
  • CoolSculpting is suitable for people who don't have time for recovery after treatment.
  • CoolSculpting is suitable for those who want to reshape their body and eliminate fat sustainably.

Popular areas for Coolsculpting.

Most of the fat is difficult to eliminate on its own, and Coolsculpting can be used on any part of the body where fat needs to be removed. Popular areas for fat reduction with cryotherapy include:

  • The area around the face, the double chin, and under the chin.
  • Small breasts, or male breasts.
  • Arm area, inner arm, outer arm.
  • The abdominal area, around the waist and sides, and the lower abdomen.
  • Leg area, inner thigh, outer thigh.
  • The fat area under the buttocks (Banana roll)
  • The fat area above the knee.
  • Back wing area (Fat Bra)

Does Coolsculpting work?

 

 

CoolSculpting really works! Over 70 medical studies have shown that it can permanently destroy excess fat cells. The procedure is convenient and quick, taking approximately 35 minutes per area, yet it can break down 24-27% of fat cells per session (supported by medical research).
The results will be clearly visible within 4-12 weeks, with a noticeable reduction in size. Full results are achieved in 3 months. Patients can repeat the treatment if they wish to further reduce their size, without any side effects.

Advantages and limitations of Coolsculpting.

Regarding the advantages and limitations of CoolSculpting for fat reduction, it is not suitable for people with the following underlying medical conditions and symptoms:

Limitations of Coolsculpting

  • Cold allergy conditions such as cold urticaria and cold fear.
  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Pregnant women/women who are breastfeeding.
  • The woman is in between periods of menstruation.
  • Those who have undergone surgery within the last 6 months.
  • People with hernias
  • Patients who have recently undergone surgery in the area to be treated.
  • People who have any devices implanted in their bodies, such as pacemakers.

Advantages of Coolsculpting

  • Fat can be permanently eliminated if weight doesn't increase and body shape doesn't change, because fat cells atrophy through apoptosis.
  • Safe and does not damage other cells and tissues in the surrounding area.
  • No scar tissue forms under the skin.
  • No injections or local anesthesia are required.
  • No surgery and no recovery time needed.
  • No wounds.

How many heads does the Coolsculpting fat reduction machine have, and how do they differ from one another?

The CoolSculpting fat reduction machine has 5 different heads and uses vacuum suction, resulting in less pain, shorter treatment time, permanent results, and the ability to reduce fat in multiple areas, treating any part of the body with unwanted excess fat.

  • CoolAdvantage is the most popular treatment, accounting for approximately 60-70% of all cases. It's suitable for individuals with moderate body fat and can be used on 7 areas: abdomen, waist, arms, chest (in men), love handles, inner thighs, and under the buttocks.
  • CoolAdvantage Petite is designed to reduce fat in 7 areas, the same as the original CoolAdvantage head: abdomen, waist, arms, chest (for men), love handles, inner thighs, and under the buttocks. However, it's best suited for individuals with less thick layers of fat, petite individuals, or those who have previously undergone CoolAdvantage treatment.
  • CoolAdvantage Plus has a large applicator head, ideal for people with excess fat. It's used for reducing fat in large areas, such as the waist and abdomen.
  • CoolMini is a small-sized head used to reduce fat in the chin area, underarms (thighs under the arms), above the breasts in women, and sagging skin above the knees for areas where exercise is not possible.
  • CoolSmooth Pro is a head used for the outer thighs and the area below the hips (some clinics use it for six-pack abs).

The Coolsculpting procedure.

 

 

The complete steps for receiving fat reduction treatment with coolSculpting technology are as follows:

  1. Patients meet with a CoolSculpting Expert to discuss their desired body measurements and assess their current body proportions in order to consider a treatment plan. Once a treatment plan is finalized, the CoolSculpting Expert will schedule a follow-up appointment for the patient.
  2. On the day of service, the staff will have the client weigh themselves, measure their body proportions, and sign a consent form.
  3. Clients change clothes and have their measurements taken before the service.
  4. The technician marks the installation area, cleans the skin, then installs the applicator onto the client's skin and begins delivering cooling energy from the CoolSculpting machine.
  5. While the CoolSculpting machine's cooling system is operating, patients can lie down or sit comfortably. However, the staff may advise on appropriate standing, sitting, or lying positions to prevent the device from dislodging and to ensure the cooling energy can effectively and continuously eliminate fat cells.
  6. After the service is complete, clients take a post-service photo and can then go home.
  7. After about a month, a CoolSculpting Expert may schedule a follow-up appointment to check the results of the fat reduction treatment.

Does Coolsculpting have any side effects?

Some possible side effects after CoolSculpting fat reduction treatment are temporary, depending on the individual's skin condition and the treated area. These symptoms usually subside within a few weeks.

  • The skin is swollen, bruised, and red.
  • Skin temporarily pale
  • The skin has hard lumps.
  • I feel itchy or my skin is burning.
  • My skin feels tight.
  • I still feel a tingling sensation on my skin, just like when the applicator was still attached.
  • Tenderness upon pressure on the skin.
  • I have a cramp.

Why might Coolsculpting not show results?

If CoolSculpting isn't effective, there are two possibilities.

  1. In other words, CoolSculpting is not suitable for patients with excessive fat. The results after treatment are not significant; the fat doesn't disappear as expected. (A good clinic's doctor should honestly assess and advise whether CoolSculpting is suitable for the patient.)
  2. Using counterfeit or substandard CoolSculpting products will not only fail to deliver the expected results but may also cause skin damage, such as burns or resulting in disproportionate or asymmetrical body shape.

FAQ

1. How many CoolSculpting sessions are needed to see results?

Results from CoolSculpting will begin to be visible 2 weeks to 1 month after treatment, and full results will be seen after 3 months. (It is recommended to have at least 2 treatments consecutively.)

2. Is CoolSculpting painful?

It's important to note that the level of pain during CoolSculpting depends on the individual and the amount of fat being removed. Because it's a highly safe fat removal method that doesn't involve surgery or skin incisions, it's less painful than surgery and leaves no scars afterward. However, you may feel slight discomfort during the first 5 minutes of the procedure due to the tightness of the device as it gradually suctions the skin. After that, you'll feel numb throughout the procedure. After the procedure is complete, you may experience slight bruising in the treated area after the device is removed, which will gradually disappear.
