CoolSculpting Fat Freezing

What happens in a fat freezing treatment?

by Leave a Comment

Fat freezing treatment, also known as CoolSculpting in our clinics is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. At your consultation, our coolsculpting experts will assess your suitability for treatment and develop a personalised treatment plan that is going to give you the best results.

What happens in a fat freezing treatment?

  1. On the day of your fat freezing treatment pre-treatment photos are taken to document the result of your fat freezing treatment.
  2. The areas being treated are marked up and then you will settle on the treatment bed.
  3. A sterile gel pad is placed over the treated area to protect the skin.
  4. The CoolSculpting applicator is applied to the area, it uses a vacuum to pull the skin up and into the applicator head.
  5. Controlled cooling is activated. The temperature within the applicator head drops causing the area to become numb.
  6. Treatment time takes 35-60 minutes where you will remain on the treatment bed.
  7. Once the treatment is complete, the applicator will be removed, and the area will be massaged to help improve the final results.

How long does fat freezing take to work?

Fat freezing is a gradual process and it will take your body a period of time to naturally process the frozen fat cells before removing them from the body. Many patients start to see their results 4-6 weeks following treatment, but your body will continue to flush out the fat cells for 3-6 months.

Can you freeze your fat off at home?

We would not recommend attempting the method of fat freezing at home. Fat freezing or CoolSculpting treatment should be carried out in a clinic with practitioners who are properly trained and licensed to carry out the procedure. Carrying out fat freezing treatment at home puts you at great risk of frostbite and poor results.

How does frozen fat leave the body?

Fat cells are frozen during CoolSculpting treatment and a natural process called apoptosis is started. The frozen cells are broken down and cleaned out of the fat layer by your body’s immune cells. The fat cells are then metabolised by the liver and excreted from the body usually within your urine.

CoolSculpting Fat-Freezing Procedure Results

by Leave a Comment

CoolSculpting treatment is a non-surgical fat removal procedure that works gradually to reduce stubborn areas of fat on the body. CoolSculpting, also referred to as fat freezing can be performed on several different body areas including the chin, upper arms, back, bra fat, abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs and buttocks.

The non-surgical fat reduction treatment works by using controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells in the areas being treated without damaging the surrounding skin and tissue. Following treatment, the body naturally processes and removes the fat cells. The results from CoolSculpting are gradual for all the targeted fat cells to be eliminated from the body, but many patients start to see noticeable results within 8-12 weeks.

How to speed up CoolSculpting results

The results from CoolSculpting can take some time but there are plenty of ways to help speed up the process allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your results a lot sooner.

  1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle – Despite being a fat loss procedure, CoolSculpting is not an alternative to diet & exercise so we encourage all patients to continue with their fitness and healthy lifestyle to ensure they get the most effective results from CoolSculpting
  2. Sweat it out – Encouraging the body to sweat is a great way to speed up the results this could result from sitting in a sauna or even hot yoga classes.
  3. Increase your water intake – Making sure you are keeping hydrated and drinking enough water each day will help to flush out the dead fat cells.
  4. Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage – The body relies on the lymphatic system to remove the dead fat cells after CoolSculpting treatment so having treatments such as the Body Ballancer or traditional manual lymphatic drainage massages in the weeks following your procedure will also help to speed up the results.

CoolSculpting Results after 1 week

It may be possible to see results the week following CoolSculpting however this may just inflammation settling rather than a direct result of the treatment. We recommend that patients allow at least a month to start seeing results.

CoolSculpting for the Double Chin

by Leave a Comment

Fat under the chin is known as submental fat or a double chin. Fat in this area is very common and you don’t have to be overweight to experience it. Many people are genetically prone to developing a double chin as having looser skin may run in the family. When skin loses its elasticity it becomes unable to hold the fat around the chin tight.

Ageing unfortunately is another big contributor to developing a double chin. As people age, they start to lose muscle which can cause your chin to weaken and fat becomes more prominent in this area.

Reducing fat in the chin area can be difficult and many patients come to us for help after diet and exercise alone have not achieved the results they were seeking.

Is double chin removal possible with Coolsculpting?

Our CoolSculpting treatment is ideal for treating submental fat under the chin and neck fat removal. The non-invasive fat reduction treatment is quick, effective and has minimal downtime, meaning you will be able to return to your everyday activities almost instantly following treatment.

Many people assume that CoolSculpting is only suitable for larger areas of fat such as the stomach, hips and thighs but with the wide range of different sized applicators, CoolSculpting is now able to effectively treat much smaller areas of the body including the chin, bra fat and upper arms. In 2017 CoolSculpting was FDA cleared to treat ‘lax tissue in conjunction with submental fat’ which makes CoolSculpting the first and only non surgical fat reduction technology to be FDA cleared for chin fat removal..

How does CoolSculpting for the chin work?

CoolSculpting is also known as fat freezing and that is what happens during the treatment. Using the cryolipolysis method, the fat cells are frozen during a coolsculpting treatment using a controlled cooling system which will only freeze the fat cells. It does not freeze any of the surrounding skin and tissue. The fat cells are frozen up to a point where they become crystallised which then causes them to die and they are then gradually processed by the body through the lymphatic system before being exposed naturally as waste.

Does CoolSculpting for the chin hurt?

CoolSculpting is not a painful treatment but some may find the initial 5-10 minutes of treatment uncomfortable as the skin starts to freeze. Once the area is frozen, this will cause the area to become numb and you should not experience any pain during this time. However; some patients find having the applicator on the chin area slightly uncomfortable and you are required to sit in the same position for around 30 minutes whilst the treatment is taking place. We recommend that patients bring along something to distract them such as a movie or a podcast which can be played whilst the treatment is carried out.  Our expert practitioners will be available at all times to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible for the duration of your treatment.

Coolsculpting vs Liposuction for double chin

Double chin reduction with liposuction and coolsculpting can both give you great results however the majority of our expert liposuction surgeons are now referring many patients seeking chin fat reduction to coolsculpting treatment. Liposuction is ideal for body contouring especially around the core abdomen, flanks and hips. It does involve patients going through a period of downtime however often with bruising, swelling and the requirement to wear garments and refrain from exercise and travelling. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that does not require any anaesthetic or sedation, no pain, minimal bruising (if any), no compression garments and no downtime or restrictions. This is why we feel that CoolSculpting is the best option for patients seeking double chin reduction as the results will be gradual and natural and there will be no impact on your everyday life. The recovery is a lot smoother and CoolSculpting has specialised applicators that have been designed specifically for the chin area to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
