Freeze and eliminate excess fat

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared body contouring treatment that may reduce stubborn fat in targeted areas. It works through a process called cryolipolysis, where controlled cooling freezes and destroys fat cells without harming surrounding tissue. Over time, the body may naturally process and reduce these treated fat cells, potentially leading to a slimmer appearance. Unlike surgical methods, CoolSculpting requires no needles, incisions, or downtime, making it a popular choice for those looking to achieve their desired body shape.

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting works through cryolipolysis, which selectively targets and eliminates fat cells using controlled cooling. Fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures than other tissues, so the treatment freezes these cells without damaging the skin, muscles, or nerves. Once the fat cells are crystallized, they undergo apoptosis (cell death) and are gradually broken down and processed by the body's lymphatic system. Over the following months, the treated fat cells are eliminated, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the targeted areas.

Your Charleston CoolSculpting session

During a CoolSculpting treatment, you'll relax comfortably while a trained specialist applies the CoolSculpting device to your targeted area. The device uses a cooling panel to gently suction and cool the fat beneath your skin. Initially, you may feel a cold sensation and slight pressure, but these sensations typically fade as the area becomes numb. The treatment lasts about 35-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Once complete, the specialist will massage the area briefly to help break down the treated fat cells.

Side effects and recovery process

After CoolSculpting, you might experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These are temporary and usually subside within a few days or weeks. The procedure is non-invasive, so there’s no significant downtime, and you can return to your regular activities immediately. Some clients feel slight tenderness or tingling, but this is normal and doesn’t interfere with daily routines. The recovery process is gradual—your body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells over the following weeks.

Onset and longevity of CoolSculpting results

You can start seeing results from CoolSculpting in Charleston as early as three weeks after your treatment, with more noticeable changes appearing after two to three months. Your body continues to naturally eliminate the treated fat cells for up to six months. Once these fat cells are treated, they are unlikely to return; however, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to support long-lasting results. However, you must follow balanced nutrition and exercise regularly to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding.
