CoolSculpting® in Chicago | Cryolipolysis Body Sculpting

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary fat reduction procedure that uses a process known as Cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis targets fat cells underneath the skin, breaking them down through the application of cold temperatures. The process works as follows:

• Precise Cooling: CoolSculpting freezes unwanted fat cells beneath your skin. This precise cooling action is what sets CoolSculpting apart from other non-invasive fat reduction methods.
• Fat Cell Crystallization: Upon exposure to low temperatures, fat cells undergo a process known as crystallization. Essentially, they freeze, which causes them to degrade.
• Fat Cell Elimination: Post crystallization, the fat cells gradually die off. Over the following weeks, your body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells, leaving the treated area more sculpted.

When you lose weight through diet and exercise, fat cells shrink in size but never actually go away. When CoolSculpting is used, the fat cells are gone for good, giving you a long-lasting, more contoured physique.

CoolSculpting from Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute is an FDA-approved, non-surgical fat reduction treatment. It isn’t a weight loss method. It’s a spot treatment technique for areas of fat that don’t respond to things like diet and exercise.

People often undergo CoolSculpting to eliminate love handles, back fat, fat on the thigh area, etc. Studies found CoolSculpting patients lost 20%-30% of fat per treated area, according to an independent research firm.

A CoolSculpting session unfolds through a series of steps, generally executed as outlined below:

• One of our cosmetic professionals preps the treatment area.

• The technician places the CoolSculpting applicator against the treatment area and initiates suction.

• The skin and targeted pockets of fat cells are drawn into the applicator. It’s normal for patients to experience feelings of intense cold, tugging, and tingling.

• Upon release from suction, a minor degree of discomfort may be experienced for 2-5 minutes.

• As freezing takes effect, the skin slowly becomes numb. Numbness can last for 1-3 weeks, or longer in some cases.

Treatment sessions generally take anywhere from 1-2 hours. There is zero downtime after the procedure and patients can immediately return to their normal activities.

After treatment, the body breaks down the crystallized fat cells and flushes them out over time.
