Book NowFrequently Asked Questions
How Does Coolsculpting Work?
CoolSculpting utilizes a specialized vacuum applicator to administer controlled freezing down to -11° Celsius, precisely targeting the subcutaneous fat layer. This process, known as cryolipolysis or fat freezing, selectively induces apoptosis in fat cells, making them more susceptible to cold and leading to their eventual destruction.
Over four to six weeks, the body’s lymphatic system naturally disposes of these frozen cells, resulting in up to 25% reduction of fat in the treated areas. This method is highly selective, ensuring surrounding tissues remain unaffected, offering a safe and non-invasive option for body contouring by freezing unwanted fat.
What are the common CoolSculpting Treatment Areas?
CoolSculpting is a versatile fat-freezing device that effectively targets multiple facial and body regions with the most common areas listed below:
- Double chin reduces submandibular and submental fat for a refined jawline.
- Stomach and abdomen to eliminate lower and upper abdominal fat for a slimmer body contour.
- Bra fat to melt away fat deposits causing bra bulges.
- Back fat to target flanks, love handles, and muffin tops for a sleeker silhouette.
- Upper Arms and Axillary Fat to reduce fat in the upper arms and armpit areas.
- Thighs to slim both inner and outer thighs, as well as banana rolls (under the buttocks).
- Knees to address stubborn knee fat.
- Chest (Gynecomastia) to reduce fat deposits around the chest in men, commonly known as “man boobs.”
Am I A Good Candidate For Coolsculpting?
Dr. Schwarzburg offers CoolSculpting in NYC for targeted fat reduction, catering to patients who lead a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular workouts. If you are within 30 pounds of your ideal weight, with a body fat percentage of 32% or below, and seeking to eliminate specific, stubborn fat pockets or pinchable fat then you are a good candidate.
It’s important to note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution, as it doesn’t address all body fat but focuses on subcutaneous fat only.
What Are CoolSculpting Contraindications?
While CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure with minimal risk, it’s not suitable for everyone. Before proceeding, it’s essential to consult with Dr. Schwarzburg and evaluate your medical history. The following medical conditions make you ineligible for CoolSculpting:
- Pregnancy.
- Skin sensitivities like cold urticaria, cryoglobulinemia, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
- Skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.
- Metabolic issues, including diabetes.
- Peripheral circulation problems or neuropathic disorders.
- A history of abdominal hernias.
How To Prepare For a Coolsculpting Session?
Dr. Schwarzburg recommends several preparatory steps before your CoolSculpting session in NYC to achieve best outcomes:
- Avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen for 3 – 5 days prior to treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
- Refrain from alcohol consumption 2 days before your CoolSculpting session to reduce potential swelling.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet leading up to your appointment to support your body’s natural processes.
- Wear comfortable clothing such as leggings.
- Bring a book or your laptop for entertainment during your session.
What Is Coolsculpting Treatment Process?
You begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg to discuss your body contouring goals and develop a customized treatment plan. Body photographs are taken to document your journey and measure your results.
The targeted area is then prepped and marked and a protective gel membrane is placed on the skin. The CoolSculpting applicator is positioned to deliver controlled cooling precisely where needed, creating a cooling sensation with minimal skin tingling.
Post-treatment, a vigorous massage of the treated area is performed to break down crystallized fat molecules to ensure optimal fat loss.
How Long Is A Coolsculpting Procedure?
The length of a CoolSculpting session depends on the type of applicator used, the size of the treatment area, and the number of areas being targeted. Applicator runtimes are 35 to 45 minutes.
Larger areas, like the abdomen, may require multiple applicators or cycles, while smaller areas, such as under the chin, need less time. Hence, a CoolSculpting session can last anywhere from 35 minutes to over 3 hours, depending on the specific treatment plan.
What Is Coolsculpting Aftercare?
Aftercare is minimal, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Dr. Schwarzburg recommends staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet to support the body’s natural fat-elimination process. To optimize results, it’s advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen for the first few days, as they interfere with the inflammatory process that aids in fat reduction
When Will I See The Results?
Visible changes appear within 1 to 3 months after the procedure. But allow up to 6 months to experience full effects. Remember, a single session diminishes up to 25% of targeted fat, and the results get better with more sessions.
How Long Do Coolsculpting Results Last?
Fat cells eliminated via CoolSculpting are permanently disposed of by the body, preventing their return. To maintain the newly sculpted physique you should stick to a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.
What Are Coolsculpting Risks And Side Effects?
Common side effects include temporary skin redness, mild bruising, swelling, tingling, tenderness, minor pain, and a temporary decrease in skin sensation around the treatment site. These effects usually resolve within a few days.
Less common side effects include paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), where the treated area experiences an increase in fat cells, very rare instances of frostbite on extremely sensitive skin, and infrequent cases of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can be managed and treated with special creams.
Keep in mind that CoolSculpting devices are equipped with sensors to minimize risks, ensuring a safe treatment experience.
Does CoolSculpting Hurt?
Mild discomfort only happens at the beginning of the procedure. You will experience a brief cold sensation, tingling, and slight pinching from the applicator’s vacuum force. These sensations quickly transition to numbness, eliminating any pain. After the session, you may feel short-term aching, but numbness usually subsides within a week.
How Many Coolsculpting Applicators Will I Need?
The number of applicators required for CoolSculpting varies based on the anatomic region and the amount of fat being treated. Generally, a session could involve anywhere from 2 to 8 applicators.
Is CoolSculpting Safe?
CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-approved, non-invasive method for reducing fat in key areas such as the abdomen and thighs, using advanced cooling technology that protects surrounding tissues.
The success and safety of the procedure heavily rely on the provider’s expertise. Dr. Schwarzburg, a board-certified medical doctor at Skinly Aesthetics in NYC, ensures optimal outcomes by meticulously managing treatment settings and protocols. His extensive experience is vital in maximizing both the effectiveness and safety of your CoolSculpting experience.
Will I Lose Weight with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting targets superficial, subcutaneous fat rather than visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs. This treatment is designed to contour specific focal areas where the applicator is attached, such as the abdomen, thighs, or chin, rather than providing overall weight loss. For those seeking broader weight loss solutions, medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro can be effective. CoolSculpting is ideal for addressing stubborn fat pockets to enhance your body’s shape, not for significant weight reduction.
How Much Does Coolsculpting Cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting in NYC varies based on the type and number of applicators used during the session. Prices typically range from $500 to $4000 per session. Larger areas or multiple treatment sites may require more applicators, increasing the overall cost. However, discounts are often available when multiple applicators are used in a single session.
At Skinly Aesthetics, new patients receive a 20% discount on their first visit, making the treatment more affordable.
Is CoolSculpting Worth It?
Yes, CoolSculpting is absolutely worth it! Focusing on common problem areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, CoolSculpting empowers you to embrace your desired wardrobe, from fitting into your favorite jeans with ease to confidently donning swimsuits as well as eliminating the discomfort of inner thighs rubbing during walks or workouts. CoolSculpting provides both practical and aesthetic benefits, making it a worthwhile investment in your self-confidence and overall well-being.
Will I Develop Loose Skin After CoolSculpting?
Most patients experience mild skin tightening after CoolSculpting due to the gradual fat loss process. However, CoolSculpting is primarily designed for fat reduction and not skin tightening. If loose skin is a concern, Dr. Schwarzburg recommends complementary treatments, such as Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling, to enhance skin elasticity and firmness alongside your CoolSculpting results.
What Treatments Complement Coolsculpting?
What Treatments Complement Coolsculpting?
While CoolSculpting excels in non-invasive fat reduction, Dr. Schwarzburg enhances outcomes by integrating it with additional treatments for comprehensive body contouring:
- Kybella is an injectable medication ideal for targeting smaller areas like the double chin or bra bulge.
- Devices such as CoolTone and EmSculpt utilize electromagnetic stimulation to tone and define muscles, particularly in the abdomen, complementing the fat reduction achieved with CoolSculpting.
- To ensure skin firmness post-fat reduction, treatments like Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling stimulate collagen production for enhanced skin tightening, while PDO Thread Lift offer immediate lifting effects.
- Incorporating weight loss management via weekly Semaglutide injections will further complement the sculpting effects of CoolSculpting, leading to overall body weight loss.
