About CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting® is the most popular non-surgical body contouring treatment in the country. If you’re looking to permanently get rid of stubborn fat and enhance your natural contours, then CoolSculpting is for you! CoolSculpting uses a patented cooling process called cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells and flush them from the body. The result is a slimmer, more toned look to areas where you tend to carry fat.
Who is a Candidate?
Virtually anyone can achieve great results with CoolSculpting. In order to get best results, you should be at or near your ideal weight and have healthy, active habits in place. CoolSculpting works best on pinchable areas of fat and should not be considered a weight loss procedure – instead, you can lose inches around the treatment area. During a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Willis, you can discuss your body contouring goals to determine whether CoolSculpting is right for you.
The CoolSculpting Treatment
CoolSculpting is performed right at our comfortable Charlottesville office in our plastic surgeon-owned and operated medspa. CoolSculpting does not require any anesthetic and you can relax with your favorite book or show during treatment. A molded applicator will be selected for your treatment area and applied. The advanced cooling energy will penetrate the skin and crystalize the underlying fat cells without damage to the surrounding tissues.
Most patients feel only a slight tugging or suctioning feeling during this part while the area numbs. Depending on your treatment area (or whether you opt for multiple treatment areas) CoolSculpting can take 1-2 hours. Once complete, the area will be massaged and you can return home.
Recovery
CoolSculpting does not require any recovery – that means you can return to your normal schedule right away. It’s normal to have some slight redness and sensitivity at your treatment area for the rest of the day and any numbness will come back within a few hours.
For best results, CoolSculpting requires a package of treatments of about 2-3 sessions, and our team will help you understand your unique schedule. You’ll begin to notice results at 6-8 weeks with full results emerging after 3-6 months. One of the greatest benefits of CoolSculpting is that the results are permanent when you maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
