What Is CoolSculpting®?

Coolsculpting® is a remarkable fat-freezing technology that uses cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis is a revolutionary way that people rid themselves of stubborn, unwanted fat. It all started when Harvard University scientists observed children eating popsicles! They noticed that some of the children got dimples in their cheeks from eating these frozen treats and realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat in the children’s cheeks! The idea that cold can target fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin or tissue was truly revolutionary and the inspiration for CoolSculpting®. People no longer need to resort to invasive surgeries with long recovery times to get the look they desire because this incredible technology crystallizes fat cells which are then flushed away over time by the body’s own natural processes.

What Is The Treatment Like?

When treating a small area like the chin, our technicians use the Cool Mini® which is one of the CoolSculpting® devices. During your treatment, a gel pad will be placed on your chin to act as a barrier between your body and the device. The device will then be cooled to its required temperature and placed over the gel pad. It will then target the areas of fat to be treated and freeze those cells without damaging the surrounding organs, nerves, blood cells, and tissue. Once the fat cells have been frozen they are removed from your body through the body’s natural processes.
