Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting® is an FDA-approved innovative fat-freezing process, known as cryolipolysis, that destroys fatty deposits in a highly targeted way giving the treated area a smooth, contoured appearance by reducing fat. Patients see amazing results after just one treatment with no surgery or downtime! The results are long-lasting and, once treated, the fat cells are gone forever.

The Treatment Process
Every patient is given a bespoke treatment plan tailored to their needs by our doctors, providing a clinical recommendation on the areas that can be treated. Before the treatment begins, the appropriate applicator will be selected, with 5 different attachments available for use.
They include:
- The Advantage+ (designed to work on big, bulky problem areas like the flanks, abdomen, and thigh)
- Advantage (versatile enough for large areas, and small enough for spot treatments on areas such as the flanks, abdomen, thigh, and upper arm)
- Smooth flat head (perfect for areas with non-pinchable fat including the upper abdomen and side of thighs)
- Petit (meant for smaller more detailed work on areas including flanks, abdomen, thigh, upper arm)
- Mini (specially design to treat very small areas including the chin, front of the arm pit, knee)
Once the area(s) have been selected, we will position the device on your body and apply a gel pad and applicator. The controlled cooling process begins by igniting the vacuum applicators, which draw fatty tissue into the applicator cup. During this, you may feel slight pulling and mild pinching, but you will remain comfortable throughout.
What areas of the body can be treated with CoolSculpting?
The Science Behind CoolSculpting
This innovative body sculpting treatment targets stubborn fat cells that are difficult to shift despite having a healthy diet and undertaking regular exercise. When a person loses, or gains weight, the number of fat cells are not altered but rather they either decrease or increase in size, but by undergoing CoolSculpting® treatment patients can remove these fat cells for good! As the fat cells are safely and naturally eliminated over time, there is no risk of them migrating to untreated areas of your body.
