CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses cryoliposis to freeze fat cells in your body to the point of elimination. Since fat freezes at higher temperatures than your skin and other tissue, your body is left unharmed, needing zero downtime to recover. There is mild discomfort during the procedure, including tingling and numbness, which most of our patients find tolerable.
During a CoolSculpting session, one of our expert aestheticians will apply a gel pad to the treatment area then carefully position the applicator. Once we confirm you are comfortable and ready to begin, we will turn on the device. The applicator uses vacuum pressure to draw the tissue between its cooling panels. Depending on the area being treated, this session can last anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours.
It is safe to use electronic devices while being treated with CoolSculpting. Many of our patients like to bring an iPad or laptop to catch up on emails or their favorite show during the procedure!
Patients can return to normal activity directly following body sculpting in Nashville. Many will return to work or even go to the gym the same day as the procedure.
While there is no downtime after your body sculpting treatment, results are not quite immediate. It may take 6 weeks or more to begin to notice the results, as it takes time for the fat cells to die and be eliminated by the body.
Most patients see a noticeable difference after their first treatment, but would like a second to get maximized results.
