CoolSculpting FAQs

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting works by applying a controlled temperature to destroy fat cells in selected body parts. Essentially, it freezes the fat cells until they die. The cells are then broken down by the body and expelled through natural functions.

Is CoolSculpting safe?

CoolSculpting is a completely noninvasive, external treatment in which the device is applied to the skin’s surface. With this procedure, there's absolutely no need for a recovery period. You may experience some slight swelling, discoloration, and some soreness immediately after treatment, but this usually only lasts for about a week.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

The number of treatments recommended to accomplish your desired results will be discussed during your initial consultation. For some patients, only one treatment is enough, but other patients may need more treatment sessions, depending on the amount of fat they wish to lose. The number of treatments is dependent on your aesthetic goals and if there are thicker layers of fat in target areas. In general, one CoolSculpting treatment is expected to eliminate up to 25% of the fat cells in the area treated.

Do the fat cells grow back?

While the fat cells destroyed by CoolSculpting will not regenerate, new fat cells could form with excess weight gain and will greatly influence your results. Therefore, in order to maintain optimal results, it is advised that you adhere to a healthy diet and exercise routine.

How much does CoolSculpting cost?

The expense of CoolSculpting varies based on the number of areas you wish to have treated. During your consultation, we will discuss your cosmetic goals to create the best course of treatment to achieve optimal results.

Procedure Technique

After your consultation with Dr. Mizgala an experienced aesthetician to organize your CoolSculpting treatments, your procedure will be planned. During your procedure, the CoolSculpting handpiece and a special gel pad will be applied to the desired area and controlled cooling will start.

The cooling, delivered by the applicator, will begin to attack and freeze the fat cells. You will likely feel coolness at the time of your treatment, but this does not typically cause great discomfort. During treatment with CoolSculpting, we will apply the applicator head to the predetermined treatment area and use suction to pull the fat, you can expect to feel a small amount of tugging or pinching, but these are normal sensations. To finish the treatment, a massaging technique is used to optimize results.

COOLSCULPTING RECOVERY

Since CoolSculpting is noninvasive, you can expect to return to normal activities following your treatment. Typically, New Orleans CoolSculpting patients can return to work immediately following their treatment. Side effects of the procedure usually include stinging, redness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort of the treated site. These side effects are temporary and usually subside in the days following your procedure. Expect to notice results in as little as three weeks, while you will see the most obvious and dramatic results 1 – 3 months after your CoolSculpting treatment.
