Even with dedicated exercise and healthy dieting, our aging bodies can still display annoying fat deposits that are tough to get rid of. At Allure Medical Spa in Gillette, WY, our expert dermatology providers offer CoolSculpting Elite to adult men and women who want to diminish unwanted fat and achieve a slimmer, contoured look. Lynn Perlenfein, PA-C, serves patients throughout the surrounding areas by creating customized treatment plans that lead to beautiful, desirable outcomes.

What is CoolSculpting?

At Allure Medical Spa, our providers utilize CoolSculpting Elite, an innovative cosmetic technology that freezes fat cells in problem areas. Fat cells undergo cryolipolysis, or controlled cooling, then are naturally expelled from the body. CoolSculpting treatment is noninvasive and produces long-lasting results, including a slimmer, shapelier physique.

Am I an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting treatment?

Individuals are ideal candidates for CoolSculpting treatment if they wish to get rid of stubborn fat deposits in a noninvasive manner. Patients should be at an ideal weight and have realistic expectations about the CoolSculpting process. CoolSculpting is a method for contouring the body and is not considered a weight-loss program. Lynn performs initial assessments and collects personal histories to determine if each patient can safely undergo CoolSculpting treatments.

Will CoolSculpting treatment tighten my skin?

Recent studies show that CoolSculpting treatment has the potential to tighten lax skin. However, results vary per patient and depend on each patient’s skin condition and laxity prior to treatment. If you have severely loose or sagging skin that may not resolve with CoolSculpting treatment, consult with Lynn or any of our providers at Allure Medical Spa to explore your skin tightening options.

What is the treatment process like?

CoolSculpting procedures are conducted within the comforts of one of our private treatment rooms. Each treatment area is covered with a cooling gel pad. The CoolSculpting handpiece is applied to each treatment area and gently freezes away unwanted fat cells. It’s common for patients to feel a pulling or stinging sensation during treatment since the handpiece uses suctioning technology to pull fat cells into each designated treatment area. Patients can resume normal activities almost immediately after treatment with little to no downtime.

Is CoolSculpting painful?

Patients usually feel little to no discomfort during CoolSculpting treatment. In most cases, patients will experience temporary bruising, swelling, or tenderness after treatment which resolves within the first few days. Patients can apply cold or heated compresses to each treatment area to alleviate pain.

How long will it take to notice results?

Once the swelling and tenderness dissipate, patients typically notice results after approximately three weeks. Optimal results generally appear within 1 – 3 months after initial treatment.

Will my results last?

If patients maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment, CoolSculpting results can last for several years. Extreme changes in weight, as well as pregnancy and childbirth, may alter your results. If you would like a follow-up appointment to freshen up your results, contact Lynn Perlenfein at Allure Medical Spa.
