Coolsculpting: Is It Permanent?
Is CoolSculpting a permanent procedure?
Yes, CoolSculpting eliminate fat for good! Once it is eliminated it does not come back. I recommend consulting with a Cool certified practice. (Alain Michon, MD, Ottawa Physician)
Coolsculpting for Permanent Fat Loss
Coolsculpting is a permanent procedure for fat loss in a given area. It is incredibly popular for the neck, abdomen, flanks, legs and now with the new petite piece for the arms as well. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)
Each CoolSculpting cycle will remove approximately 25% of fat cells in the targeted area. The fat cells which are destroyed and expelled through the body are permanently removed.
It’s important to note the remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain causing your result to be compromised. (Vinay Aggarwal, MD, Los Angeles Physician)
Coolsculpting is permanent. Up to 20-25% of fat cells are eliminated from your body and will not return. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. (Martin Jugenburg, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting does permanently destroy superficial fat cells. With a single treatment session, normally about 20-25% of the fat cells in the treated area will be destroyed. (Michael I. Echavez, MD, San Francisco Facial Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting does permanently remove about 20-30% of your fat cells with each treatment. It’s similar to liposuction in that once treated, those fat cells are gone forever. Look for a provider in your are for a consultation.(David A. Sieber, MD, San Francisco Physician)
Once CoolSculpting Fat Is Gone, It’s Gone
Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to freeze and permanently eliminate up to 24% of fat cells in a treated area we usually see closer to 30 – 35% when we combine this with the Zwave massage treatment.
Once the fat cell’s death has been triggered, it will not return.
If you gain weight after your CoolSculpting session, the fat will probably be distributed more evenly throughout your body, as the arms will have fewer fat cells than before so your body will be more proportionate, even at a higher weight.
However, don’t ruin your investment! The best strategy is to maintain your weight with sensible diet and exercise, which you seem to be doing. (Kimberly Butterwick, MD, San Diego Dermatologic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting and Body Shape
Coolsculpting does not change the shape of your entire body, it treats a bulge in a given area and reduces the bulge by 20 percent. It is a fabulous machine that I have been using for over 7 years with great results. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)
Permanent Results from CoolSculpting
A benefit of CoolSculpting is that the final results are permanent. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they will not return, even if you should gain more weight. However, the remaining fat cells will still increase in size.
To get more information about CoolSculpting, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in the noninvasive procedure. (Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
