"I had the Coolsculpting procedure a couple of months ago to remove some of my stubborn belly fat. The staff and Dr. Castellano were wonderful to work with and they were all friendly and professional. The doctor was very accessible and spent time answering all my questions. My experience has outstanding overall and I felt like a valued customer from the time I made my first inquiry through my most recent follow-up appt."
- L.A.
"I'm 56 years old and I exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet and still have visible fat bulges in my lower abdomen so decided to try Coolsculpting. I was surprised at how easy the treatment was-I felt no pain at all and watched a movie while doing it! Even though it's been only 3 weeks ,I am already seeing results in my abdomen(they typically tell you results will appear from 4 weeks onward with full results at 8-10 weeks) I can't wait to see the full results. I am very happy that I did it and overall had a great experience with professional and knowledgeable staff."

How does Coolsculpting work?

CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment that was developed by Harvard scientists. It uses a process called cryolipolysis to target and destroy fat cells underneath the skin by literally freezing them. Because fat cells, such as belly fat, are more sensitive to cold than other tissues, the fat cells freeze while surrounding tissues are unharmed. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally processed by the body, leaving treated areas slimmer.

Benefits

We can use CoolSculpting to reduce distinct areas of fat just about anywhere it collects, including:

  • Abdomen, including a belly, love handles, or muffin top
  • Under the chin
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper back

If your main concern is a double chin (submental fat), KYBELLA® may be an effective, nonsurgical alternative to CoolSculpting.

Your CoolSculpting Procedure

We perform CoolSculpting as an office treatment in our private and comfortable CoolSculpting suite. Treatment of each area takes 1 hour. We begin the treatment by placing the appropriate-sized applicator over the targeted fat bulge. When the machine is activated, patients feel firm pressure, then intense cold for about 5 to 10 minutes until the area becomes numb.

Our CoolSculpting patients often spend their procedure time watching TV, reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing. Once the treatment time is complete, the applicator is removed and another area may be treated if desired.

Recovery

Since CoolSculpting does not involve anesthesia, incisions, or stitches, no downtime is needed after a treatment. It is normal to experience temporary side-effects, such as mild redness, bruising, tingling, numbness, or discomfort in treated areas.

Results

Results appear gradually, as treated fat is naturally flushed out of your body. Our patients typically see improvement starting a few weeks after their treatment with most dramatic slimming between 1 to 3 months. Results last indefinitely when you continue your healthy habits.

Many patients get the results they want with just a single treatment. Others return for additional treatments or to treat other areas.

Coolsculpting FAQ

Good candidates for CoolSculpting are those who typically have distinct bulges of fat in certain areas that they’d like to get rid of.  We offer complimentary one on one in office consultations to deem the best treatment for your body type.

The duration of each treatment is one hour per area.  However, many patients elect to have multiple treatments in multiple areas.  We have a special CoolSculpting suite where you will receive your treatment – you may watch a movie or show on a flat screen tv, read a book, work on your laptop or iPad, or simply take a nap!

Our CoolSculpting expert will position the device on your body;  then the device will draw the bulge of fat between the cooling panels;  you will feel a firm pulling sensation as the bulge is pulled into the panels and then you relax for an hour!  It’s really that simple.

This treatment is completely non surgical and typically you may return to your activities as soon as the treatment is completed.  Some patients can experience some redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area.  This is only temporary and will completely resolve itself. Often times, patients receive the treatment before work or during their lunch hour.

Since the fat cells are crystallized, your body will need time to rid and flush out the dead fat cells from your body and your results will not be visible immediately.  Typically, patients start seeing results as quickly as three weeks after the treatment.  The most dramatic results occur between the first and third month after the treatment.

Absolutely!  Of course you’ll still have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but your results will remain stable and long lasting!

Each individual is different and we will develop your specific plan during your free one on one consultation with our CoolSculpting Expert.  The number of treatments can vary based on the number of areas, size of the bulges and your goals! Treatments start at $800.

CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals who are looking to lose those stubborn fat bulges such as lower abdomen fat and love handles that diet and exercise just can’t get rid of.  There is absolutely no surgery, no needles, no bandages and no time off work required.  Liposuction is a complicated surgery that requires significant downtime and can pose significant risks and costs to the patient.

It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.­­ Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

During CoolSculpting, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable.

Call today to set up your free, no obligation consultation. We’ll see if you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting and work with you to develop a treatment plan.  813 638-0159
