Eliminate Stubborn Fat with CoolSculpting®

At the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center, renowned dermatologist Robert Skaggs, MD, FAAD, understands that weight loss and exercise don’t always eliminate fat pockets around your belly or in other places. That’s where CoolSculpting® fat reduction can help. It’s a nonsurgical way to freeze your fat away, with no downtime afterward.

CoolSculpting® Q & A

What is CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive procedure that freezes your unwanted fat cells to destroy them. Freezing with the CoolSculpting® technology is a scientifically proven way to destroy selected fat cells. With every treatment, CoolSculpting destroys 20-25% of your unwanted fat in each treated area.

What areas does CoolSculpting treat?

CoolSculpting® can destroy fat in many different areas on your body, including:

  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Upper arm
  • Bra fat
  • Back fat
  • Banana roll (under the buttocks)
  • Submental area (under chin)
  • Submandibular (under the jaw)

If you’re concerned about fat bulges anywhere on your body, CoolSculpting® might just be the answer you need. Talk to Dr. Skaggs about your concerns to find out if CoolSculpting is the best solution.

Who is a good CoolSculpting candidate?

CoolSculpting® is a fat loss treatment, not a weight loss procedure. The ideal CoolSculpting® candidate is a man or woman who has a healthy body weight but still has some fat bulges that just don’t go away with diet and exercise. Dr. Skaggs will review your medical history to determine whether you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting®.

There are a few rare conditions that could exclude you from having CoolSculpting® procedure, including blood disorders like cryoglobulinemia and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, or an autoimmune condition called cold agglutinin disease.

How does CoolSculpting work?

Before The Treatment

During your consultation, you will collaborate with your provider to assess your suitability for the treatment and create a customized plan to address stubborn fat in one of the nine FDA-approved areas of the body.

During The Treatment

Depending on the area being treated, a session can take as little as 35 minutes. Your provider might suggest multiple sessions to ensure optimal results. Since the treatments are noninvasive, you can use the time to read, listen to a podcast, or even take a nap. After the session, you can immediately resume your daily activities.

After The Treatment

You may notice results as soon as 1 to 3 months after treatment, with full results taking up to 6 months or more. To achieve the best fat reduction outcomes, be sure to follow your recommended treatment plan. Remember your favorite jeans? Try them on again and see how they fit.

When will I see CoolSculpting results?

Some patients notice positive results in as little as three weeks. You can typically expect dramatic results within one to three months. Your body continues to process and eliminate the damaged fat cells for around four months, and you’ll see the final results after that time.

Depending on your goals, you might decide to have another CoolSculpting treatment once you’ve seen the results from the first one.
