CoolSculpting in Joliet, Illinois

CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment that uses freezing temperatures to destroy stubborn fat cells from the most common problem areas on the body. It’s non-surgical, non-invasive, pain-free, and doesn’t require any downtime. It’s the perfect solution for men and women who do their best to live a healthy lifestyle but can’t eliminate the stubborn fat from their problem areas. It can eliminate stubborn fat from the following areas:

• The area beneath the chin
• The flanks
• The abdomen
• The inner and outer thighs
• The upper arms
• Bra and back fat
• The banana roll

CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells, which leads to cell death. Harvard-based scientists discovered that fat cells freeze and die when they reach a certain temperature.

This treatment initiates cryolipolysis, and the body responds by flushing the fat cells, which it now views as cellular waste, out through the body via the lymphatic system. The device is designed to target both larger and smaller areas with stubborn fat so patients can achieve an improved body composition.

CoolSculpting provides a simple solution for men and women who have unsuccessfully tried eliminating stubborn fat from one or more body areas. It eliminates the need to schedule extra workouts, spend more time in the gym, or further restrict caloric intake. Other treatment benefits include the following:

• Treatment times are convenient and comfortable
• The entire process is non-invasive and non-surgical
• Results appear gradually in the weeks following your treatment
• Results are long-lasting
• The device can reduce fat volume by up to 24% per treatment area
• Treatments can target one or more areas with stubborn fat

The best candidates for CoolSculpting are patients who have reached a stable body weight, are physically healthy, and live a healthy lifestyle but still have body areas with stubborn fat preventing them from achieving their ideal physique. Patients must not be sensitive to extreme cold, and pregnant and nursing women do not qualify for treatment.

Before we schedule your first session, we’ll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your medical history and treatment goals and answer any questions about this body contouring treatment. Then we can move forward and design the right treatment plan for you.

Treatments can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas you want to treat. Treatment times will vary since we custom-tailor each treatment plan for our patients. At your initial consultation, we can discuss your treatment goals and give you more details about how long you can expect your session to take.

CoolSculpting is a pain-free body contouring treatment. You may feel an extreme cold sensation as the device freezes the fat cells in your treatment area, but you won’t feel any discomfort. The skin will feel numb throughout most of the treatment, and you’ll be free to relax, watch TV, read, or work remotely.

You won’t see any immediate results after your treatment because the body must eliminate the fat cells through the lymphatic system, and that takes time. It can take up to 12 weeks to see the final results. Most patients notice results within the first three to four weeks, and results continue to improve with time.

This body contouring treatment is meant to deliver permanent results. It can reduce body fat in the treatment area by up to 24%, but it won’t remove every fat cell. If you gain weight after your treatment, any fat cells remaining in your treatment area can expand, impacting your results. If you avoid weight gain, eat healthily, and exercise consistently, you can maintain and even improve your results over time.

CoolSculpting is not designed for patients who are obese. It cannot eliminate significant amounts of fat from different areas. The best candidates should be in good health and have reached or are near their goal weight. Patients who are obese can undergo treatments once they have reached a healthy weight.

Most patients only need one treatment to achieve their ideal results, although some may need more to address multiple areas of their body. At your consultation, we can discuss each area of concern, incorporate each into your treatment plan, and give you a better idea of how long it should take to achieve your results and how many sessions you should schedule.
