CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery.
How CoolSculpting® Works
CoolSculpting® utilizes a revolutionary process known as Cryolipolysis™, which selectively freezes fat cells beneath the skin while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. The science behind Cryolipolysis™ is based on the fact that fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other cells, allowing for targeted fat reduction without damaging the skin or underlying structures. During a CoolSculpting® session, the treatment area is cooled to the optimal temperature, effectively killing the fat cells. Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells, leading to a permanent reduction in fat. Your CoolSculpting® procedure at our Menlo Park practice will be straightforward and comfortable. You will be positioned comfortably while a cooling applicator is placed on the targeted area. This applicator delivers controlled cooling to the fat cells through gentle suction, allowing the Cryolipolysis™ process to work effectively. The treatment typically takes about an hour per area, during which you can relax, read, or even take a nap. CoolSculpting® is a gentle and non-invasive procedure, meaning there's no need for anesthesia and no downtime. You may experience some temporary redness or numbness in the treated area, but you can immediately return to your normal activities after the session.
