What to expect before, during, and after Coolsculpting, fat freezing treatment available in New Orleans, LA
By Dr. Mary Lupo
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting is a solution that allows patients to delay the need for invasive plastic surgeries to improve their body contours. Instead of going under the knife and seeking liposuction, patients can instead freeze the fat cells and allow the body to naturally flush them out. Dr. Mary Lupo uses cryolipolysis to achieve these results, which can be done with the CoolSculpting device. The device essentially freezes the fat cells in the midsection and provides gradual enhancement over several months. Skin never sees a surgeon’s scalpel, and patients get the results they desire for mild to moderate fat deposit treatment.Who is a candidate for CoolSculpting?
Most patients who are within their ideal weight range and want to target fat cells in the midsection that do not properly respond to traditional methods such as improved diet and increased exercises are encouraged to speak to our team about using CoolSculpting. During an evaluation with Dr. Mary Lupo, our associates will decide if a patient is a good fit for CoolSculpting. Patients should also have realistic expectations as to what can be achieved with CoolSculpting procedures.What can I expect before, during, and after the procedure?
- Before – prior to undergoing CoolSculpting treatments, patients must be considered appropriate candidates for the procedure. This occurs during the evaluation and initial consultation visit with our board-certified dermatologist. Then, patients book their upcoming CoolSculpting appointment.
- During – the procedure itself is non-invasive and uses a special device that is used on the abdominal area to freeze the fat cells beneath. While cold, the treatment is still comfortable for patients and provides a soothing sensation for many.
- After – following the treatment, patients will notice gradual improvements over the next few weeks. While most patients will see results with just one treatment session, many of our patients seek more noticeable results and may book several treatment sessions spaced months apart to achieve their desired improvements. Results are not immediate, but the slow depletion of fat cells is noticeable over time and with added treatments if desired.
Can CoolSculpting be used on other parts of the body?
Absolutely! In addition to being used in the midsection, cryolipolysis with Coolsculpting can also address pockets of fat the develop anywhere on the body, from the jaw line down to the knees! This versatile treatment ensures natural results in a non-invasive way.Are you interested in learning more about CoolSculpting?
