Birmingham, Alabama CoolSculpting Fat Reduction

New Non-invasive Technology Freezes Away Stubborn Fat

Your Challenge — Exercise-Resistant Fat

You're physically fit and your weight is stable. You have a healthy diet and lifestyle. But no matter how much you exercise or diet, you have lumps, bumps and bulges that you just can't get rid of.

Men and women alike face the frustrating truth of it every day: A muffin top. Love handles. Back fat — not much, but just enough to show through a snug-fitting t-shirt or blouse. These small areas of fat don't seem to warrant a surgical procedure. What else can you do?

Your Cool Solution — CoolSculpting®

A team of scientists and physicians developed CoolSculpting to address the concerns of people like you. This revolutionary procedure uses a precisely controlled method called Cryolipolysis™ to target, cool and eliminate fat cells without damage to neighboring tissue.

After a 1- to 3-hour CoolSculpting procedure, your body goes to work. Over the next 2 to 4 months, the crystallized fat cells break down and are naturally flushed from your body.

What will the results be?
CoolSculpting can reduce the fat layer by 20%. If the patient's treatment plan calls for a second procedure, an additional 20% reduction can be experienced. Final losses may be more or less, depending on the patient.

What happens during the procedure?
The patient and doctor first select the area(s) to be treated. For instance, if the patient's goal is to reduce their love handles, the doctor will position the system on the patient's side. The device then draws the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm tug and pull — enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently.

What does it feel like?
As the panels go to work in the first few minutes, the patient feels a sensation of intense cold. This soon dissipates. The patient is seated comfortably or lying down during the 1 to 2 hour procedure. Many people spend this time reading, working on their laptop, or simply relaxing.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?
Yes. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive, so the patient can return to normal activities immediately. Patients may experience redness, minor bruising, tingling or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.

When will I see results?
Patients may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after their treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after 2 months. But their body will still be flushing fat cells at that time, and will continue doing so for up to four months.

Are the results permanent?
During the CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as the patient maintains his or her weight with their normal diet and exercise, long-term results should remain stable.
