FAQ

How does CoolSculpting work?
An applicator cup with vacuum pressure will be applied on the treatment area to draw fat tissue. The cooling panel will deliver a precise controlled cooling temperature to the targeted underlying fat. These fat cells that are exposed to a precise cold temperature for 1 hour per treated area will undergo a process of natural elimination subsequently reducing the thickness of the fat layer of up to 20%.

Who are the good candidates for this treatment??
CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is suitable for people with moderate pockets of fats that have not responded to regular exercise. An individual with healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and balanced diet are the best candidates as they may respond very well and maintain the results for a long time and even permanently.

How is the procedure like??
Patient will feel a pulling sensation from the vacuum pressure and will also feel an intense cold sensation which dissipates shortly after. The patient is seated comfortably or lying down during the one to two hour procedure depending on how many treated areas.

What will the results be?
On average, each CoolSculpting procedure results in a 20% reduction of fat in the treated areas, and patients can start to see results from three weeks to 2 months following treatment and will continue to flush out destroyed fat cells up to 4 months.

How many sessions do I need?
An average of 2 sessions per area may be needed with interval of 1 to 2 months per session.

What side effects can I experience?
CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive so patient can resume to their normal activities immediately. Patients may experience redness, swelling and minor bruising on the treated area. Aching sensation or cramp pains may also be expected thereafter.

Are there any post treatment care?
After treatment, it is advisable to massage the area for about 1 week. For best results, RF treatment is also recommended to be done 1-2 weeks after a CoolSculpting procedure.
