CoolSculpting
Removing fat around the abdomen, chin, arms and legs has never been easier.With Frontier Dermatology's CoolSculpting service, we can “freeze the fat” in an hour or less with no downtime. With more than six million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat reduction procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that works using cryolipolysis. During CoolSculpting, fat cells are frozen, which damages them to the point that the body naturally flushes them away. However, other cells (such as skin cells) are not damaged through this process.
During your CoolSculpting session, the device will be placed over the treatment area, and applicators will administer suction and cooling technology. You may feel some pinching, pulling, or cooling sensations during the procedure, but CoolSculpting should not be painful. Once complete, your provider may then massage the area to prevent tissue from freezing together and encourage the body to metabolize the destroyed fat cells. Typically, a single CoolSculpting session lasts between one and three hours.
Many patients can achieve their goal results in a single CoolSculpting session, but it can require follow-up treatments to reduce a sufficient amount of fat to reach your ideal body contour. During your consultation, your technician will explain a treatment plan that will work for you.
