CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is an effective new noninvasive treatment that permanently removes fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

How does Coolsculpting work?
This breakthrough, non-invasive technology freezes away stubborn fat. CoolSculpting gently targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. Because fat is more sensitive to cold than the other layers of skin, Coolsculpting can selectively freeze just the fat and leave the rest of the skin unaffected. Each procedure results in an average 20% reduction of fat in the treated area.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, anesthesia, or downtime. Patients often spend the one to two hours of procedure time reading, listening to music on their ipod, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

Results can be seen in as soon as 3-4 weeks following treatment, with the best results occurring over the next two to four months.

What will the results be?
CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ can reduce the fat layer by 20%. If the patient's treatment plan calls for a second procedure, an additional 20% reduction can be experienced. Final losses may be more or less, depending on the patient.

What happens during the procedure?
The patient and doctor first select the area(s) to be treated. For instance, if the patients goal is to reduce their love handles, the doctor will position the system on the patients side. The device then draws the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm tug and pull enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently.

What does it feel like?
As the panels go to work in the first few minutes, the patient feels a sensation of intense cold. This soon dissipates. The patient is seated comfortably or lying down during the one to two hour procedure. Many people spend this time reading, working on their laptop, or simply relaxing.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?
Yes. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive, so the patient can return to normal activities immediately. Patients may experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.

When will I see results?
Patients may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after their treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But their body will still be flushing fat cells at that time, and will continue doing so for up to four months.

Are the results permanent?
During the CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as the patient maintains his or her weight with their normal diet and exercise, long-term results should remain stable.
