Unwanted body fat often will not respond to diet and exercise – a frustrating problem. No matter how diligently you adhere to a fitness regime, stubborn fat deposits and bulges in the belly, flanks, thighs, and other areas can prevent you from achieving the sleek, athletic body shape you work so hard to achieve.
At Egrari Non-Invasive Center, our CoolSculpting in Seattle treatments reduce the stubborn fat deposits for good. CoolSculpting® targets specific areas of the body to significantly reduce fat deposits in one or more sessions. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Egrari and his providers to learn about the process, and find out if you are a good candidate for this non-invasive fat-reduction procedure.
What Is CoolSculpting ® ?
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to target stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise efforts. It is a safe, FDA-approved procedure with proven, long-lasting results.
Who is a candidate for CoolSculpting?
Those who are between 15 to 20 pounds from an ideal weight.
Those with pockets of unwanted fat that are diet and exercise-resistant.
Those searching for a non-invasive solution.
How does CoolSculpting ® work?
The idea for this state-of-the-art technology began years ago when Harvard University scientists noticed that some children who ate popsicles developed dimples in their cheeks. These scientists determined that the popsicles were freezing and removing small pockets of fat cells in the children’s cheeks. The insight was that cold can target and destroy fat cells without damaging skin and surrounding tissues.
In a CoolSculpting® procedure, precisely controlled cooling is safely delivered to targeted areas of stubborn fat beneath the skin. Fat cells are frozen (crystallized), and then they die. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, leaving the patient with a more sculpted physique.
The beauty of this treatment is that, once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot grow back. Fat loss results with Bellevue CoolSculpting® are long-lasting.
Where on the Body Can I Use CoolSculpting ® ?
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-approved in the U.S. for removing fat bulges in certain areas, including the following:
- Submental area (beneath the chin)
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs / Inner Thighs
- Back
- Arms
- Bra area
- Beneath buttocks
How Many CoolSculpting ® Treatments Will I Need for Fat Loss?
You will need two or more treatment sessions to achieve desired results with the CoolSculpting® technology. The number of sessions will depend on:
- Areas to be treated
- Number of areas treated in a single session
- Your personal cosmetic goals
Dr. Egrari and his providers will tailor an individualized treatment plan to help you achieve a more sculpted, trim body contour. A typical Coolsculpting in Seattle® procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to perform. Some patients have more than one treatment in a single session.
How Does a CoolSculpting® Treatment Feel?
During the first few minutes of the procedure, as the cooling is initiated, you will feel the sensation of intense cold. This sensation dissipates quickly. Many people read, work on laptops, watch movies, or take a nap during treatment.
With some CoolSculpting® applicators you may experience a mild pulling sensation as the applicator applies suction to a targeted area. The area being treated typically gets numb within 5 or 10 minutes into the procedure. You may experience some tingling as the targeted area is massaged 2 or 3 minutes after treatment.
