Coolsculpting

CoolSculpting: A Non-Surgical Fat Reduction treatment in Montreal Ottawa and Quebec Trust your body sculpting to a renowned plastic surgeon with years of experience in body sculpting, liposuction, and coolsculpting Montreal. Officially approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2010, CoolSculpting®  rapidly became a popular procedure for non-surgical fat reduction. In other words, this treatment is an alternative to liposuction, promising to eviscerate excess fat on the abdomen, back, waistline and thighs. Despite active and healthy lifestyle choices, it can sometimes be difficult to lose stubborn fat. Hence, CoolSculpting® is an innovative procedure that targets unwanted fat bulges that are not affected by diet and exercise. It produces apparent, and natural-looking fat reduction in treated regions, with no harm to the skin or nerves.

CoolSculpting®  uses advanced cooling to crystallize selective and targeted fat cells to trigger natural cell death. Afterward, the body will naturally process and eliminate the fat cells that are no longer alive, leading steadily to the lessening of the thickness of the fat layer.

Procedure

Before the CoolSculpting procedure, a medical professional will examine and mark the regions being treated. During the CoolSculpting® treatment, a non-invasive applicator will be applied to the treated area, and a protective gel pad will be laid on the surface of the skin. The excess fat will be pinched and sucked into the CoolSculpting® applicator. The length of the treatment is approximately 35 minutes. Patients should not feel pain, only some pressure and suction for the first few minutes. After that, the target area will become numb to the cold. Throughout the  CoolSculpting procedure, patients can relax, take a nap, or read a book. Patients might experience deep pulling, tugging, numbness, or very slight discomfort during the treatment. During the few first minutes of the CoolSculpting® treatment, as the cooling starts, patients might feel pressure and intense cold, however, this sensation dissipates quite quickly. CoolSculpting is not a painful procedure. There is no need for incisions or anesthesia. After the CoolSculpting procedure, there might be a little swelling or tenderness in the treated region which will dissipate shortly. Nevertheless, there is no downtime after the CoolSculpting treatment. Daily activities can be continued as planned. To achieve optimum results, CoolSculpting treatment plans generally involve 1-4 sessions per area treated.

Effects

Normally,  one can expect to gradually lose 20% to 30% of fat in the treated regions after only one treatment of CoolSculpting®. Noticeable results can be seen within three months. However, some patients might see the outcomes as early as a few weeks. However, if one wants to see successful results after their CoolSculpting®  procedure, one must avoid weight gain during their treatment plan. Otherwise, there will be no apparent result.

Ideal Candidate

A suitable candidate for the CoolSculpting®  procedure can either be a man or a woman who is physically active, healthy, and who is within 20 pounds of their ideal weight. Considering that CoolSculpting® uses extremely cold temperatures to crystallize and kill fat cells, patients who suffer from paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, cold agglutinin disease, or cryoglobulinemia should not undergo the CoolSculpting®  procedure. Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is recommended to determine if CoolSculpting® is the appropriate treatment for you.

Results

As adults, once the fat cells are destroyed and removed from the body, the remaining amount of cells remains permanent. Thus, there is no new production of new fat cells. Nonetheless, when an adult gains weight, the size of the remaining fat cells becomes greater. Gaining weight after CoolSculpting® can result in an increase in the size of the fat cells. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that one focuses on maintaining their ideal weight following the CoolSculpting® treatment plan.

Side Effects

CoolSculpting® is safe when the treatment is carried out by a qualified medical provider under the supervision of Dr Gaby Doumit, a renowned plastic surgeon. Typical side effects of CoolSculpting®  can comprise redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness, or discomfort in the treated area. These consequences last for a very short period. They should resolve swiftly.

Cost

The cost of CoolSculpting® is 650$ per treatment zone. (PROMOTION – FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, TWO or MORE AREAS, 600 $ PER TREATMENT ZONE).
