As a non-invasive procedure that freezes fat and has a short recovery time, you may think CoolSculpting sounds too good to be true—but it’s real and works.

 

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared treatment for visible fat bulges. It can be done on various parts of the body, including the stomach, thighs, lower back, upper arm, and sides. Each area takes about 35 minutes to an hour to treat, and it’s done right at our comfortable boutique office In Kitsilano.

 

For clients ready for slimmer figures in just a few weeks, CoolSculpting works without crunches, sit-ups, or planks. It’s a wonderful way to jumpstart a healthy eating or exercise plan, motivating you to see your goals through.

 

A recent study in the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons on the safety and efficacy of CoolSculpting found the procedure to be a safe, effective alternative to liposuction. The procedure provides a reduction in localized fat and has limited side effects. As reported in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the recovery time after CoolSculpting is minimal. Since the procedure is nonsurgical, most of our patients do not require significant downtime and can resume regular activities immediately.

 

From the CoolSculpting website, the following are potential side effects that may occur during or after the procedure.

 

Common side effects may include:

  • Pulling / Tugging 
  • Mild pinching
  • Intense cold / Tingling
  • Stinging
  • Aching
  • Cramping 

 

After the procedure, clients may notice temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, and skin sensitivity. After the targeted fat is frozen, the body will gradually process and eliminate dead, frozen fat cells naturally. As for the time—it varies; some see results in as little as three weeks, although for some, it takes as long as three months.
