CoolSculpting® fat reduction

Get rid of stubborn fat for good

CoolSculpting® is designed to help you achieve your body contouring goals—with no surgery and little to no downtime.
 
CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis, otherwise known as fat freezing, to freeze your fat cells in the treated area. Following treatment, your body will naturally eliminate the dead fat cells, which can result in up to 20-25% reduction of stubborn fat in that area in a single treatment. You can retreat the area to achieve even greater reduction.

CoolSculpting® helps to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat, in areas shown below, that resist all efforts through diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss solution for people who are obese.

CoolSculpting® is specially designed to reduce visible fat bulges in target areas. 
 
Good candidates for the procedure, have a BMI of 30 or less, but have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to reduce. It is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss.
 
CoolSculpting® is FDA approved, and scientifically proven, to reduce fat bulges in the submental (under the chin), submandibular (under the jawline), thigh, abdomen, flank, along with brat fat, back fat, underneath the buttock (also known as banana roll) and upper arm.
 
The procedure is not for everyone. You should not have CoolSculpting® if you suffer from the rare disorders of:
  • Cryoglobulinemia
  • Cold agglutinin
  • Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
To find out if Coolsculpting® is suitable for you arrange a consultation to discuss your goal and problem bulges.

Are there any CoolSculpting side effects?

woman having Coolsculpting procedureDuring the CoolSculpting® procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging and aching at the treatment site, but these will subside as the area becomes numb.

Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity which generally resolve within 1-2 weeks.

Rare side effects have been recorded in 0.01% to 0.1% of patients where a visible enlargement of the treated area developed 2 to 5 months after treatment that does not resolve on its own and may require surgical intervention for correction.

What is the typical CoolSculpting spend?

Woman asking how much CoolSculpting costsYour CoolSculpting® investment depends on the number of treatments required to achieve your goal. Most patients opt to treat multiple body areas in order to achieve their goal.
 
Consequently the typical spend is between £1,110 - £3,200 for a personalised treatment plan, with most patients wanting to achieve up to 25% or 31% reduction. 
 
At your consultation you can create a customised treatment plan with your practitioner that’s tailored to your goals and get an agreed quote before making your decision.

Does CoolSculpting require me to follow a diet plan?

No supplements or diet programme is required.

At your consultation we will discuss your lifestyle habits and may recommend some changes to help you to maintain the best results. However, these are never drastic and could be something as simple as getting more exercise through walking to work or nutritional advice.

Many patients when they see results - feel more motivated to maintain their shape. It’s as if they got a second lease on their body!

What happens if I gain weight after CoolSculpting?

Woman examining her body in a mirrorMany people, after seeing their CoolSculpting® results feel even more motivated to stay close to their ideal weight.

However, if you do gain weight, your body will store it in your remaining fat cells. This means your weight gain will be more obvious in areas not treated by CoolSculpting® where you have more fat cells remaining.

CoolSculpting® removes fat cells in targeted areas for body sculpting. It is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss.
