Answer Snippet
Does CoolSculpting permanently kill fat cells?
What’s the skinny on fat cells?
Oct 15, 2019
Unfortunately, some of the information you have received is incorrect. Once you are an adult, you do not gain or lose fat cells. If you gain weight, the fat cells you already have expand and conversely, if you lose weight, the fat cells you have shrink. You can’t gain fat cells. You can lose fat cells for good by having them treated and destroyed with Coolsculpting or by having them removed with liposuction. Losing fat cells however does not render you immune from future weight gain….
Coolsculpting providers: how to sift the good from the bad?
How do you choose a Coolsculpting provider
Oct 15, 2019
The provider you met with is correct. Though Coolsculpting is a simple procedure at first glance, there truly is a level of technique and skill involved with achieving a great outcome. First of all it’s important to determine if someone is or isn’t a good candidate–does an area have the subcutaneous fat that is ideal for Coolsculpting or is the problem skin laxity or deeper visceral fat? Experience in the artful placement of applicators for the best outcomes is crucial as well. An ina…
Would CoolSculpting work for me? Should I still consider a BBL?
Coolsculpting is a great option
Oct 15, 2019
For anyone that may not be an ideal surgical candidate due to health history, Coolsculpting is a great non-surgical option. Without an examination and consultation in person, it’s difficult to say how many cycles would be ideal but from your photos it appears that you would potentially be a good candidate for treatment on your abdomen and flanks (sides). Coolsculpting can help you sculpt your mid section without risking your health– It’s been proven to be a safe and effective treatment.
Is it ok to have CoolSculpting 2 months after gallbladder removal as long as they avoid the incision
Coolsculpting after surgery
Oct 15, 2019
It’s always best to check with the surgeon that performed your gallbladder surgery prior to any procedure within 6 months of your surgery to make sure it’s okay to proceed. . If the area you are Coolsculpting is not on the abdomen, then there is no problem whatsoever.
Wondering if I need 3 different “cycles” in one treatment session of CoolMini or if 2 mini hand piece
Cool Mini Cycles
Oct 11, 2019
Hi and thank you for your question! We decide how many cycles at the consultation, which is based on the assessment and measurement using the cool mini template. You definitely want to allow for overlapping of the cycles, so there is not pockets of fat left in between treatment areas. Its hard to say for sure how many cycles without assessing you in person. It does appear you could benefit from treatment not only in the central portion, but also sculpting along/below the jawline, as long as…
What fat freezing machine should I get?
Coolsculpting Should Only be done by an Experienced and Trained Medical Provider
Sep 24, 2019
Hi and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting in the only FDA approved machine that uses cryolipolysis. If you’re seeing information that states otherwise, it is completely inaccurate. There are so many reasons why this shouldn’t be done by a lay person at home, safety being first and foremost. There are specific steps that must be taken and certain supplies used to not damage or injure the patient. Also, there are numerous intricacies that come only with extensive training and hands o…
Does CoolSculpting result in sagging of the skin where the fat loss has taken place?
Coolsculpting Best For Fat Reduction
Sep 24, 2019
Hi and thank you for your question! Coolsculpting reduces subqutaneous fat over 3 months time after each treatment, often 2 treatments are needed for ideal result. It certainly will not create loose skin and if anything, the inflammation that occurs can potentially result in some tightening, however, we say this is icing on the cake, as it is a fat reduction device and not a skin tightening device. The exception is the submental area, upper neck/ below the chin, which does have an FDA…

CoolSculpting Since 2009
Sep 24, 2019
Hi there and thanks for your question! Coolsculpting has been in use and FDA approved since 2009, with over 7 million treatments done worldwide. Over those nine years, the treatment results, the machines, the applicators have been updated, upgraded and enhanced, which has allowed for improved results and more efficient treatments. Most patients need two treatments, sometimes a 3rd for fine tuning or if there is a greater amount of subcutaneous fat to begin with. Our patient results have …
Would a fat sculpting procedure (cool sculpting, Sculp sure, etc) after losing weight solve the dilem
Coolsculpting after weight loss
Sep 20, 2019
The good news about Coolsculpting or liposuction or other fat cell killing/eliminating procedures is that the fat cells don’t come back….That being said, the remaining fat cells will always have the ability to expand and contract based on your body’s needs to deal with weight gain or loss. The only thing that will keep weight gain away is exercise and good/healthy eating. As hard as it may be, you have to stay on your “A” game to achieve and continue your weight loss goals. Best of luck!

Non-surgical profile improvement
Sep 20, 2019
It’s difficult to say with complete certainty what would be ideal but if you’re looking for a birthday fine tuning plan for your profile then here are some things to consider~ 1) Coolsculpting (CoolMini) for the sub-mandibular area in a V shaped pattern to help contour the jawline. 2) Ultherapy to tighten the lower face and help lift and 3) Fillers to the marionette lines to help replace lost fat and bone that is contributing to the down turn of the mouth. I believe this combination of th…
How long will it take to see my CoolMini results?
Cool Mini Treatment Plan and Results
Sep 13, 2019
Hi and thanks for your question! Amount of cycles per treatment and amount of treatments needed can vary per patient, as everyone responds differently. Patients usually need 2-3 treatments to see maximum and ideal results from cool sculpting, however some see results in 1-2 treatments.This is also dependent on how much subcutaneous fat is present at baseline. Often times we find patients need a minimum of two cycles per treatment, overlapping in the center. We then often follow up with a s…
