Shaping up in Dallas
Even people who exercise regularly and eat balanced meals have some areas with stubborn fat. If you have stubborn fat pockets that resist your best attempts, you might want to consider CoolSculpting in Dallas. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we use CoolSculpting to destroy unwanted fat cells from your body, thus helping you shape up and achieve your body contouring goals.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a procedure whereby stubborn fat cells are frozen and broken up, facilitating the drainage into the lymphatic system. The unwanted fat cells eventually leave the body, making the targeted area look more contoured. Removing unwanted fat cells also highlights the underlying muscles, which makes you look more toned and sculpted.
CoolSculpting treatment areas include:
- Neck
- Chest
- Back
- Flanks
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs
CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-approved procedure
CoolSculpting is a completely safe and FDA-approved treatment, but it must be performed by a reliable and certified technician. During the CoolSculpting in Dallas procedure, the temperature is kept well above the temperature that would cause skin damage. Furthermore, the CoolSculpting applicators are placed over gel pads to prevent the cold from affecting your skin. This ensures that CoolSculpting only freezes the unwanted fat cells without causing any damage.
What are the benefits of CoolSculpting?
- Non-surgical and non-invasive treatment
- No incisions, injections, or scars
- No downtime or recovery period
- Removes specific pockets of unwanted fat
- Reveals the underlying muscle definition
Does CoolSculpting involve downtime?
CoolSculpting doesn’t involve any downtime. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately.
How is CoolSculpting done?
CoolSculpting is performed in a relaxing environment while you lounge back on a reclining chair. The cosmetic provider will place a cool gel pad over the treatment areas on your skin and then place the CoolSculpting applicator. The gel pad acts as a buffer between the applicator and your skin, ensuring comfort and safety. When the applicator is activated, it produces extreme cold and a gentle suction force on the treatment areas.
Most patients feel mild discomfort during the first 15 to 30 minutes of CoolSculpting in Dallas. However, the “discomfort” is more a result of the strangeness of the sensation rather than pain. After the first 15 minutes, you might not feel anything and can drift off to sleep. After the procedure, the cosmetic provider will remove the applicators and massage the treatment areas to break up the fat cells. The entire procedure lasts for 30 to 120 minutes.
What to expect after CoolSculpting?
You might experience mild swelling, bruising, and soreness around the treatment areas for a few days. But these side effects are extremely mild, and they dissipate in a few days. The results will start becoming evident in 3 weeks, with continued improvements for 2 to 4 months. To maintain the results of CoolSculpting, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly.
