Can CoolSculpting® Treatments Help Patients Lose Weight?

If you are struggling with stubborn fat pockets that refuse to go away with dedicated lifestyle changes and physical exercise, then body contouring treatments may be the next treatment approach for you. At Allure Medical Spa, Lynn Perlenfein works with patients throughout Gillette, WY to help them attain their ideal physique with noninvasive CoolSculpting technology. Within a few weeks, patients can enjoy a slimmer waistline and toned silhouette.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive body-contouring system that utilizes applicators to gently freeze away unwanted fat cells. The body disposes of the dead fat cells, and within several weeks, fatty deposits shrink and provide patients with slimming results. At Allure Medical Spa, Lynn consults with each patient to create a customized treatment plan by considering personal body contouring goals and providing her professional recommendations.

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting treatments

Both men and women are ideal candidates for CoolSculpting treatments if they:

• Have realistic treatment expectations

• Are in good general health

• Are at their ideal weight

• Have fatty deposits they want to get rid of

• Are not interested in liposuction or other fat removal procedures

Lynn will review your personal and medical history to determine if you can safely participate in CoolSculpting treatments. Ideally, patients should be finished with pregnancy and their childbearing years before undergoing treatment to reduce their risk of compromising their results.

Can CoolSculpting treatments help patients lose weight?

CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment and is not designed to be an alternative or substitute for significant weight loss. In some cases, patients may lose up to 2 – 5 pounds of fat after CoolSculpting treatments.

What to expect during treatment sessions

Treatments are conducted at Allure Medical Spa within the comforts of one of our private treatment rooms. A specialized gel pad and CoolSculpting applicator are applied to the treatment site. While the applicator targets fat cells, the patient may feel a tugging sensation as the applicator pulls unwanted fat cells toward the surface for freezing. Once your treatment is finished, you are free to resume normal daily activities. Patients may experience temporary bruising, soreness, or redness at each treatment site, which should subside within a few days.

Will my CoolSculpting results last?

CoolSculpting treatments can deliver long-lasting outcomes, providing patients with slimmer and toned silhouettes. Once the targeted fat cells are frozen and cycled out of the body, those specific fat deposits will not return. However, patients can still accumulate fat via lifestyle choices, diet, hormonal changes, pregnancy, etc.

How to make the most of my CoolSculpting results

Men and women can take proactive steps to make their CoolSculpting outcomes last by considering the following tips:

• Maintain a healthy weight

• Continue a regular physical exercise regimen

• Eat nutritious meals

• Stay hydrated

• Avoid excessive weight gain

• Avoid getting pregnant

If you happen to get pregnant or experience weight gain after participating in CoolSculpting treatments, consult with Lynn and schedule an appointment to freshen your results.
