CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting®

The non-surgical, no down-time fat removal treatment that is guaranteed to work.

Most of us have the odd little bump or pocket of fat on our body that we are not too keen on. Often these bumps can be in places that are genetically programmed such as the saddle bags, mummy tummy, muffin tops, love handles, double chins, ‘bra fat’ that just will not shift, no matter how much we diet and exercise. Sometimes these ‘little bulges’ can really get to us, and affect how we feel about ourselves both in and out of clothes. That is where CoolScultping® can really help.

CoolSculpting® reduces unwanted body fat with lasting results.

It is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical fat reduction (cryolipolysis, also known as “fat freezing”) treatment in the world. We believe in the technology so sincerely that we are the only clinic in Scotland to have invested in not one, but two systems and seven applicator heads to allow us to treat ever single area of the body both quickly and effectively.

What is CoolSculpting® fat loss treatment?

CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive, fat freezing (cryolipolysis) treatment that is scientifically proven to work in reducing fat cells as a body contouring method – similar to liposuction.

The results are long lasting and noticeable. CoolSculpting® works by precisely cooling the temperature of tissue to a predetermined level whereby it is possible for the overlying skin to survive, but not the underlying fat cells. The fat cells then undergo a program of controlled cell death known as ‘apoptosis’ and are naturally eliminated from the body over a number of weeks following the treatment. This results in a noticeable and long lasting reduction in the unwanted fat bulge.

Does fat freezing REALLY work?

The CoolSculpting fat freezing procedure has been rigorously tested through research and has many scientific studies and clinical papers published in the peer reviewed literature that testify to its effectiveness.

The CoolSculpting process was first developed in the USA by a team of leading doctors and scientists and they patented a number of design aspects to enhance both the safety and efficacy of the treatment. Because of how effective the technology actually is, a huge number of ‘copy-cat’ technologies have launched claiming to do the same thing, for a lower cost. I have tried these ‘copy-cat’ products, and they quite simply do not have the patented technology that gives safety and efficacy of CoolSculpting. The cheaper imitations are normally carried out in unregulated environments, with a concerning number of complications that quite simply do not happen with the original CoolSculpting technology. Since being cleared FDA in America – widely considered to be the most rigorous medical device regulator in the world – CoolSculpting has been approved to treat unwanted fat in the following areas:
  • Submental region (double chin)
  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Bra fat
  • Back fat
  • Underneath the buttocks (banana roll)
  • Upper arms (bingo wings)

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting?

When CoolSculpting® was originally launched it came with one treatment applicator head, which allowed the machine to freeze large chunks of tissue such as lower belly fat or love handles.

Since then, the company behind CoolScultping (Originally Zeltiq – who later sold to Allergan, the makers or Botox and Juvederm) have developed the applicator heads to make them more effective and efficient. Some treatments can be complete in as little as 35 minutes with the new design, whilst more awkwardly shaped areas – such as the double chin or ‘bra fat’ can be treated with new custom designed hand pieces. We have invested a full stock of all applicator heads, allowing us to customise the treatments specifically to each individual. As well as the full range of applicator designs, we also have two CoolSculpting machines to allow us to treat multiple areas simultaneously quickly, and effectively without the downtime or risks of surgery.

What is the CoolAdvantage Petite™ applicator?

The latest addition to the CoolAdvantage applicator family – the CoolAdvantage Petite™ – is specifically designed to treat the upper arm area in just 35 minutes.

It has been created with two interchangeable contours which safely and effectively treat the unique shape of the upper arms. Due to it’s small shape and size, it’s also versatile enough to tackle small pockets of fat on other areas of the body too such as the knees and ‘cankles’.

How soon will I notice results?

It takes a little while for full results to appear, since the body needs to go through the process of programmed cell death and then elimination of the break down products.

You can normally start to see results after around 4 weeks, although it takes up to 4 months to see the full results. During your CoolSculpting consultation at our Glasgow clinic, we can discuss a tailored treatment plan that will meet your specific needs.

How long does CoolSculpting fat reduction last?

Since we have become accustomed to non-surgical procedures being a temporary fix – for example Botox lasts 4 months or fillers lasting 1 to 2 years – many people assume that the same is true of CoolSculpting.

Actually, this is not the case. When the fat cells are destroyed by the Cryolipolysis process they are gone forever and so long as you maintain your current body weight then the contour will remain the same – similar to the longevity of liposuction.

What should I expect?

We are the only clinic in Scotland to be able to offer Dual-Sculpting by having two machines in the clinic to treat different areas of the body simultaneously, along with the full range of applicator heads to really customise the treatment to your exact requirements.

All initial consultations for CoolSculpting are with Dr Joanne Payne, our clinical lead for CoolSculpting. During your consultation, Dr Joanne will discuss everything in detail, looking at your whole body and at your specific areas of concern. We follow a holistic approach to help you lose stubborn fat and reshape your body through a bespoke treatment plan for the results you want to achieve. This may mean the need for more than one CoolSculpting body sculpting treatment, such as to reduce fat bulges from your thighs as well as love handles or belly fat. However, you will be given a very thorough and honest explanation of exactly what can be achieved in your case, and a treatment plan and package price to cover the cost of your treatment.

During the CoolSculpting, controlled cooling is applied to targeted fat areas without the need for surgery, needles or downtime. We apply a gel pad and applicator to the area or areas identified. The cooling process should numb the area after a few minutes and you will experience a firm pulling sensation on the specific fat being treated. You can feel at ease and relaxed, knowing you’re in safe, expert and medically qualified hands. In fact, during treatment, many patients check emails or read or even fall asleep!

How safe is CoolSculpting fat freezing treatment?

CoolSculpting has been approved by the FDA in America – the most rigorous regulator in the world.

It is approved because of it’s patented technology, safety features and ability to deliver consistent results. There have been over 7 million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, without any major complications making it a much safer alternative to liposuction.

What to expect after CoolSculpting

Because CoolSculpting is carried out without the need for surgery, there is very little downtime and most patients can return to their normal activities right away.

Is it sore?

Some people find CoolSculpting uncomfortable.

This is normally only during the first ten minutes when the fat reduction device freezes the skin and fat, but very few patients have reported experiencing severe pain during treatment and all have said the pain subsided quite soon.

Are the results really guaranteed?

We know that the average person will lose 27% of the fat located in a given treatment area. Whilst this may initially sound like a small amount, when combined over a larger area with multiple treatment sites, it can actually create quite a significant improvement to the way you look both in and out of clothes. We accurately measure the amount of fat present both before and after the treatment and if you do not lose at least 20% of the fatty tissue present, the manufacturer will provide a repeat treatment without any additional costs to you.

Would I be a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

Whilst CoolSculpting is not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise, if you have stubborn areas of fat in places such as the chin, upper arms, flanks, abdomen and thighs, knees or cankles you are likely to be a good candidate for this treatment.

During your consultation, Dr Joanne will discuss everything in detail, looking at your whole body and at your specific areas of concern, making a full assessment and recommendations for treatment.

Those small yet troublesome areas of excess fat on our bodies, such as bra fat and fat on inner arms, knees and ankles (‘cankles’) have been, until now, notoriously difficult areas to treat.
And no matter how much you diet, it can seem almost impossible to lose a double chin.

How much does the treatment cost?

The cost of the treatment varies according to the size of the area being treated and the amount of fat that needs to be removed.

Each treatment area treated by one applicator head is referred to as a treatment ‘cycle’. The last 10 years of international CoolSculpting experience has shown us that to get the most impressive results, it is better to combine multiple treatment cycles.

Often multiple treatment cycles are performed at a single treatment session, although sometimes two separate sessions – eight weeks apart – are suggested.

The exact number of treatment cycles really does vary from person to person, according to the size and shape of the individual fat pads.

Generally the larger the area, and the thicker the fat, the more cycles that will be required. At your initial consultation we will make a number of measurements so we can work out exactly what the best treatment parameters will be to achieve the results you are looking for. As a general guide, the table below gives an estimate of the number that may be required per body area.

BODY AREA | NUMBER OF CYCLES

Abdomen (lower) | 2 - 4
Abdomen (upper) | 2 - 4
Double chin | 1 - 4
Love handles | 2 - 4
Upper arms | 2 - 8
Outer thighs | 1 - 4
Inner thighs | 1 - 4
