About CoolSculpting
Dr. Jacono and J Spa are excited to offer CoolSculpting from Zeltiq. CoolSculpting is an innovative technology that was developed to help reduce stubborn areas of fat from your body. This non-surgical form of fat reduction uses a cooling technique to “freeze the fat” on trouble areas of the body that are resistant to regular diet and exercise. What makes this so revolutionary is that the fat can safely and permanently reduce fat without and needles, liposuction, surgery, or downtime.
Though CoolSculpting® can produce body sculpting results that are in some ways similar to liposuction surgery, CoolSculpting® treatment takes only an hour per treatment area, with virtually no downtime and no need for any anesthesia. Patients begin to see optimal results 2 to 3 months after treatment. Even though liposuction is typically used to make more specific changes in body contour, it is an invasive procedure with a moderate recovery period. Dr. Jacono can help patients identify which treatment is best suited for their aesthetic goals.
How Does CoolSculpting Work
The CoolSculpting Procedure is based on the proven science of Cryolipolysis, which means that fat cells can be destroyed with a controlled cold temperature without damaging the surrounding tissue. This technology is the result of an innovative discovery by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston which is affiliated with the Harvard Medical School.
What they discovered was that the fat cells directly under the skin were naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold temperatures but did not have any effect on the surrounding tissues. It was confirmed through these Harvard studies that you could effectively freeze fat away without damaging any other tissue. The study also found that once the fat cells were exposed to controlled levels of cooling, those fat cells died and did not come back.
It is the only FDA cleared non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses cooling and freezing of the fat cells in order to eliminate stubborn fat that is difficult to remove through regular exercise and diet.
CoolSculpting results are noticeable and proven and long-lasting. With no downtime, patients can return back to normal daily activities as well. This procedure has even been coined as “The Best Fat-Reducing Treatment” by New Beauty.
Areas of the body that CoolSculpting can reduce fat from include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Love Handles
- Saddlebags
- Inner Thighs
- Outer Thighs
- Back Rolls
Am I a Good CoolSculpting Candidate?
Depending upon the amount of fat reduction you are looking for and the amount of excess fat you are starting with, this procedure can be repeated more in order to reach your body sculpting goals.
The best candidates are healthy individuals within a good weight range, preferably within 30 pounds of their ideal weight.
The procedure is appropriate for both men and women.
Please keep in mind that CoolSculpting is not intended for weight loss. Obese individuals or persons needing to lose a considerable amount of weight are not advised to have the treatment done. The procedure works best to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat on the body that are resistant to typical diet and exercise efforts, such as saddlebags or love handles.
