CoolSculpting in Westlake, OH

If you make an effort to live a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body, you know just how frustrating stubborn pockets of fat can be. Localized fat deposits are often resistant to diet and exercise, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the body you want. CoolSculpting is the most popular non-surgical fat treatment available today.

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, FDA-approved fat reduction treatment designed to remove bulges of fat for good. Dr. Renuka Diwan MD, FAAD, who is committed to helping her patients feel confident in their bodies, can help to create a proportionate and contoured figure with this l procedure.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting uses a highly researched method called cryolipolysis, developed by Harvard scientists, to freeze away your fat cells. This method of fat reduction targets fat cells under the skin without affecting your skin or other tissues. CoolSculpting has been FDA-approved to treat pockets of fat in the following areas:

Abdomen and flanks
Inner and outer thighs
Bra line and back
Submental (under the chin) area
Upper arms
Below the buttocks (“banana rolls”)

CoolSculpting can remove up to 25 percent of the fat cells in a treated area after just one session. At least two sessions are needed per area to achieve effective results. Multiple areas of the body can be treated in one session.

A session may take as little as one hour and could be easily scheduled during your lunch break. Dr. Diwan can advise you on developing a treatment plan to optimize your results.

Ideal Candidates for CoolSculpting

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are near their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise, such as in the abdomen, thighs, or under the chin. This non-invasive procedure is best suited for individuals seeking a non-surgical option to refine their silhouette without downtime. Candidates should have good skin elasticity, realistic expectations about the subtle changes CoolSculpting offers, and be in overall good health. A consultation with Dr. Diwan can determine if CoolSculpting is the right choice for your body contouring needs.

What to Expect During and After CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is an office treatment that safely and effectively sculpts your problem areas. The cold sensation associated with CoolSculpting will subside after a few minutes, and you can read, check work emails or even nap while your treatment is performed. Most patients undergo multiple treatments to achieve their preferred results.

Since CoolSculpting doesn’t require surgery, recovery is simple. Mild swelling, discomfort, redness or bruising in treated areas immediately following your appointment is common. However, these symptoms should subside within a few days and do not keep you from returning to work or your daily routine immediately after treatment.

You should begin to notice your CoolSculpting results in three weeks. More dramatic results can be seen within two months. As fat cell removal is completed, you may continue to notice continued improvement in your appearance for four to six months.

Comparing CoolSculpting and Liposuction

When considering options for reducing body fat, it’s important to understand the differences between non-invasive CoolSculpting and traditional liposuction. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you determine which procedure might be right for you:

Procedure Type

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that uses cryolipolysis technology to freeze and destroy fat cells. This method does not require any incisions or anesthesia, making it a no-downtime solution.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves making small incisions through which a cannula is inserted to physically remove fat from the body. This method requires anesthesia and typically involves a recovery period.

Effectiveness

CoolSculpting effectively reduces fat layers in targeted areas by up to 25% per treatment session. It is most suitable for patients close to their ideal body weight who have localized fat deposits that they want to reduce.
Liposuction can remove larger amounts of fat in a single session and can be more precise in fat removal. It is effective for significant body contouring and can address multiple areas at once.

Recovery Time

CoolSculpting requires little to no recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Liposuction typically requires a recovery period ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure. Patients may need to wear compression garments and limit physical activity during this time.

Risks and Side Effects

CoolSculpting has minimal risk, with common side effects including temporary redness, swelling, and numbness in the treated area.
Liposuction carries the risks associated with surgery, such as infection, bruising, and more significant swelling, along with potential anesthesia-related complications.

Cost

CoolSculpting generally costs less per session than liposuction but may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results.
Liposuction is more costly upfront due to surgical fees, anesthesia, and facility costs. However, it often achieves more dramatic results in a single procedure.
