There is some anecdotal evidence that the cooling causes skin to tighten and has the effect of causing collagen to remodel.




How many CoolSculpting treatments will I need?



The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat in the area(s) that need treating and the patient’s personal goals. As long as there is residual fat, CoolSculpting can treat these areas. We would recommend a consultation, where your CoolSculpting practitioner will discuss everything in detail, assessing your whole body, taking into account your specific areas of concern. We follow a holistic approach to help you lose stubborn fat and reshape your body through a bespoke treatment plan for the results you want to achieve. This may require the need for more than one CoolSculpting treatment, such as to reduce fat bulges from your thighs as well as love handles or belly fat etc.




Who can perform CoolSculpting?



CoolSculpting should only be offered by a clinic where staff have been trained by ZELTIQ, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting, and have attended CoolSculpting University. Here at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we our practitioners who solely specialise in CoolSculpting treatments, have 20 years of experience and have performed well over 50,000 Coolsculpting treatments to date.




Does fat freezing work on cellulite?



CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared treatment for the reduction of fat bulges. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, love handles, inner thighs and under the chin. The underlying fat that causes cellulite cannot be treated using fat freezing technology; for such areas, we recommend skin tightening treatments such as Ultherapy and Thermage.




How cold is CoolSculpting?



The CoolSculpting treatment has been cleared by the FDA and is proven to be very safe and effective in reducing unwanted bulges of fat.  The procedure involves the modulation of temperature to produce the destruction of fat cells. During treatment, the cooling cup of the device reaches a temperature of minus 11 degrees Celsius, causing the fat cells to cool down to the point at which they crystallise. This process causes the fat cells to die 2-3 days after treatment. Sensors in the CoolSculpting equipment constantly monitor the temperature of the skin and underlying tissue and adjust to prevent any damage to the epidermis layer. (The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin).
