Body contouring with CoolSculpting®
A detailed consultation is undertaken at your first appointment for a tailored treatment strategy with a holistic approach.
The duration of your CoolSculpting® procedure depends on the number of areas being treated but is typically 40-60 minutes. Sloane Clinic is one of the few clinics in Europe to offer DualSculpting™, which halves treatment time. We also offer the innovative CoolAdvantage™ applicator, treating two areas in just 35 minutes (neither DualSculpting™ nor CoolAdvantage™ can be used on double chins).
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive treatment that does not involve surgery or needles. A gel pad and applicator are applied to the areas of concern, delivering controlled cooling to the targeted fat. In the first few minutes, you may experience cold, tingling, mild stinging, aching, or cramping. Most of the applicators use a vacuum to draw fat into the applicator cup, so you may also feel some pulling, tugging, or mild pinching as suction is applied. However, all of these sensations greatly reduce as the area becomes numb.
There is minimal downtime after a CoolSculpting® procedure. Indeed, patients are often able to return to their work or normal activities almost directly after the treatment.
Following the procedure, the areas will be massaged for a few minutes, and you may feel some stinging or tingling while this is performed. Patients may also experience some of the following symptoms: redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, skin sensitivity, and numbness. Patients who have had treatment for “double chin” in the submental area may experience a sensation of fullness in the back of the throat.
However, these symptoms vary considerably between individuals as well as depending on the site, the number of areas, and duration of treatment. Most importantly, all of the effects are temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks
The results are not immediate, as it can take several weeks to months for the fat cells to be removed from your body after undergoing cryolipolysis. Nevertheless, results may be noticeable as early as four to six weeks with progressive improvement up to 14-16 weeks after that as you continue to flush out fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed by crystallisation, they are removed permanently and are not replaced.
As long as you maintain a healthy body weight, your results should remain stable long-term. However, after either CoolSculpting® or surgical liposuction, it is still possible to gain weight in the treatment area. Although the number of fat cells is reduced, the remaining fat cells can become larger if you consume excess calories or don’t expend as many calories as before.
We will design a treatment plan that is tailored to your body fat distribution and fat reduction goals to help you lose stubborn fat pockets, reshape your body, and achieve the results that you want. This may mean treating more than one body area or the same area more than once, depending on the size of the fat deposit. Consequently, some patients may only need one session, whereas others may require a few sessions to achieve optimal results. During your initial consultation, you will be advised about the number of sessions that you will likely need.
Disclaimer: Individual results and reactions may vary and can be affected by factors such as diet, fluctuations in body weight, physiology, metabolism, physical activity and medication.
