CoolSculpting®

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a Zeltiq technology that uses cold to freeze the targeted fat cells, acting in a controlled manner on the tissue.

It is important to remember that CoolSculpting does not make you lose weight, but it does help you lose volume.

What does the treatment consist of?

The treatment involves a controlled and safe tissue cooling process that concentrates the fat cells without damaging the rest of the tissue. Sessions usually last about an hour and it usually takes more than one session to eliminate the desired volume.

Some of the considerations to take into account are:

1. Cold sensation in the treated area that disappears after a few minutes.
2. The treatment lasts between 1 and 3 hours depending on the area to be treated.
3. It is not a weight loss treatment, but it helps to eliminate fat cells.
4. There is swelling in the treated area during the first few days.
5. The results are visible if a healthy lifestyle is followed in parallel with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

In any case, it is important to remember that each patient has different characteristics and it is necessary to evaluate the condition of each one in order to adapt the treatment to their needs.

Why is it performed?

CoolSculpting technology reduces the number of fat cells and eliminates them forever from the treated area. It should be understood as an aid to weight loss, but it does not eliminate it by itself.

Are there any side effects?

During the procedure it is common to experience swelling and a prickling sensation, but both disappear within the first few days.

This treatment has no side effects but, despite the safety of the technique, some patients may not be compatible with the method and experience adverse effects.

This is particularly common in patients with diseases related to blood clotting.

Results

The results are visible after the second or third week. In addition, after the first three months of treatment the patient will be able to observe changes in their body contour and will notice that their volume has also decreased.
