COOLSCULPTING RESTON

1. COOLSCULPTING IS NONINVASIVE AND NONSURGICAL
Unlike liposuction, fat freezing with CoolSculpting Reston targets and eliminates stubborn fat bulges without surgery, incisions, or anesthesia. In fact, the procedure is completely noninvasive and relies on several uniquely-shaped applicators to deliver controlled cooling, which selectively destroy fat cells without affecting skin or surrounding structures.
2. YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN 1 FAT FREEZING TREATMENT
Depending on individual concerns and goals, you may need 1-3 treatments to achieve optimal outcomes. That being said, most patients can see visible improvement following their first session.
3. RESULTS ARENT IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE
During the fat freezing procedure, a patented cooling technology targets fat cells beneath the skin and causes them to undergo apoptosis (natural cell death). The destroyed fat cells are then gradually cleared from the body in the coming weeks and months.
Accordingly, CoolSculpting results begin to emerge around 4-6 weeks and peak after 12 weeks.
4. FAT FREEZING CAN ELIMINATE UP TO 24% OF FAT
CoolSculpting is the most studied noninvasive body contouring treatment and clinically-proven to eliminate up to 24% of subcutaneous fat following one treatment. With that being said, results can vary from patient to patient and a customized approach is essential to produce maximum benefits.
5. THE TREATMENT USES CRYOLIPOLYSIS TO DESTROY FAT CELLS
CoolSculpting cools fatty tissue to as low as 4 degrees Celsius in order to freeze and destroy fat cells. This process is known as cryolipolysis.
6. COOLSCULPTING ISNT A WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENT
Fat freezing with CoolSculpting Reston is designed to remove localized fat deposits and produce circumferential reduction in the treatment area. So, while patients will look slimmer and their clothes will fit better, they will not lose weight.
7. FAT REDUCTION IS PERMANENT
While losing weight simply shrinks fat cells, CoolSculpting destroys and eliminates fat cells from the body. This means that fat reduction is permanent.
Patients can best maintain results through a healthy diet and regular exercise.
8. COOLSCULPTING IS A ZERO-DOWNTIME PROCEDURE
Immediately after a CoolSculpting treatment, the area may be slightly red, tender, swollen, and/or numb. However, these effects are temporary and mild and resolve on their own without any disruption to normal functioning.
Accordingly, CoolSculpting doesnt require any recovery and patients are free to go about their day as they normally would.
9. YOU CAN TREAT ALMOST ANY PART OF THE BODY
CoolSculpting is an excellent nonsurgical fat removal option for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, banana roll, upper arms, back, double chin, and under the jawline.
