CoolSculpting has helped countless patients minimize stubborn fat pockets to create a body they feel confident in. This noninvasive treatment also serves as an effective alternative to surgical body contouring procedures.
Continue reading to learn about the 3 things Dr. Faulkner wants you to know before booking a cold sculpt treatment in Rockville. If you are ready to learn more about the treatment process, please call us to schedule your appointment at Faulkner Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics.
1. CoolSculpting Uses Cryolipolysis to Freeze Fat Cells
CoolSculpting eliminates stubborn fat using a process called cryolipolysis. By harnessing cold temperatures to freeze fat cells, cryolipolysis minimizes fat deposits in the following areas:
- Jawline
- Chin
- Abdomen
- Love handles
- Thighs
- Arms
CoolSculpting suctions the skin above the targeted fat into the device, where it administers the treatment. After breaking down the fat cells in your treatment area, the body flushes them out through your lymphatic system.
2. Follow All Preparation Instructions Before Your Treatment
If Dr. Faulkner determines CoolSculpting suits your aesthetic needs, he sets you up for success by providing you with a treatment preparation guide.
In the days leading up to your CoolSculpting session, be sure to drink plenty of water. Increased hydration can improve your comfort during the appointment and enhance the treatment’s efficacy.
Dr. Faulkner also recommends avoiding anti-inflammatory medications, alcohol, and caffeine in the days before your treatment. These substances can increase your risk of bruising and reduce circulation.
Finally, be sure to wear loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy access to your treatment area. Dr. Faulkner recommends shaving your treatment area for a comfortable treatment process from start to finish.
3. Stay Active After Treatment
Although CoolSculpting effectively targets areas of fat that resist healthy eating and exercise habits, you still need to maintain an active lifestyle before and after treatment. Activities like walking can boost circulation and help your body process the eliminated fat.
Mild redness, swelling, and bruising are common side effects after CoolSculpting. These symptoms should subside in the days following treatment.
Most patients undergo multiple CoolSculpting treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Dr. Faulkner may recommend additional follow-up treatments to help you maintain your sculpted figure.
