Or read more, below, about what each of the questions above mean for you:
1. Are You 18 or Older?
CoolSculpting is not appropriate for people whose body has not finished growing and developing. For this reason CoolSculpting is rarely appropriate for people younger than 18 or 19. Also, a patient must be 18 years old to legally consent to medical procedures, including CoolSculpting. In the very rare cases where someone under 18 was eligible for CoolSculpting, parental consent would need to be provided.
There is no upper age limit for CoolSculpting. Because it is non-invasive, even people in their 80s can successfully enjoy the benefits of CoolSculpting – as long as they’re in good health and have the OK from their physician!
2. Are you generally within 30 to 40 pounds of your ideal weight?
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, nor is it appropriate for people who are quite a bit overweight or obese. If you are more than 30 or 40 pounds overweight Dr. Ali can discuss other weight loss procedures that might benefit you, before you consider CoolSculpting. Many individuals have been motivated to lose the excess weight first – and then schedule CoolSculpting to get rid of those stubborn remaining pockets of fat.
2. Do you have bulges or specific areas of stubborn fat that just won’t go away?
CoolSculpting “targets” specific areas where pockets of fat accumulate. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss tool for people who are obese. Rather it “freezes off” pockets of fat in specific areas, such as the belly, thighs, love handles and even double chins.
3. Have you tried diets or exercise and are still not happy with certain areas of your body?
Where fat is placed on our body is largely hereditary. Once the fat cells are in place (by our teen years) they stay there permanently – unless they are removed via procedures such as CoolSculpting or Liposuction.
Exercise and dieting can help you lose weight – but will never remove the actual fat cells. Losing or gaining weight only changes the size of the fat cells, but does not decrease the number of fat cells.
However, CoolSculpting freezes and kills the fat cells – actually reducing the number of fat cells in treated areas by up to 25%.
4. Do you want to Lose Weight in belly or abdomen; flanks, “love handles” or “muffin tops;” inner thighs, outer thighs or “saddlebags;” double chin or upper arms.
CoolSculpting is FDA-approved in the United States for the treatment of fat bulges in the thighs, abdomen (belly fat), flanks (love handles), back (bra rolls), underneath the buttocks, upper arms and submental area (neck / double chin).
For removal of breast tissue (not fat) in men and women, liposuction or other breast reduction surgery may be a better alternative. At this point CoolSculpting is not recommended for calves and ankles – however Dr. Ali can discuss liposuction with you for these areas instead.
5. Can you wait 2 weeks to see beginning results & 2 months to see dramatic results?
Because the frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body, it takes a couple weeks to begin seeing results. The most dramatic fat loss will be see at about the two month point – which is still much faster than virtually any diet or exercise program! And results continue to improve for up to 5 or 6 months.
