Do you wish you could get rid of stubborn pockets of fat and look healthier? If so, CoolSculpting (also known as Cryolipolysis) may be right for you. It doesn't matter how healthy you eat, or how often you work out. Your body can store fat in areas that don't need it. At Jacksonville Laser Skin Solutions in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, we help people every day to get the sleek, strong silhouette they dream of. Today, we're talking about how Cryolipolysis can benefit you.
You must understand that this is fat reduction treatment. It is not a substitute for diet and exercise. However, the weight will be lost. Once the fat cells in the targeted area are frozen, your body will eliminate them as waste. This process may take several weeks, so your weight loss will be gradual. You certainly won't notice a change in the scale the morning after your session.
Receiving fat removal treatment rather than consuming a daily calorie deficit is beneficial because while you are burning fat through diet and exercise, the fat cells are still there. They are smaller because you burn the fat stored in them for fuel, but they are still a permanent fixture under your skin. When you undergo fat removal treatments, the fat cells are destroyed and excreted from your body, gone forever.
With CoolSculpting, you can expect to lose between 20% and 80% of the fat cells in your target treatment area. The most important factor in how much fat you can lose is the size of the treatment area. If you are removing fat from a small area such as the neck, underarms, or knees, you can expect to lose about 80% of your localized fat cells.
However, if you are removing fat from a larger area (such as the back), you can expect the treatment to destroy about one-fifth of the fat cells in the target area. Another important factor affecting the quality of the results is the amount of fat in a given area. If you have a lot of excess fat, you can expect to lose about 26%.
You will see the final results of your CoolSculpting session approximately six weeks after treatment. However, the exact length of time you will see your final results depends on the efficiency of your lymphatic system. Unlike liposuction, where excess fat cells are exercised through incisions or sucked out, cryolipolysis is completely non-invasive.
Since the fat cells are not physically removed during the treatment, you must wait for the lymphatic system to clear them and remove them from your body. If you want to prepare your body for a major event coming up in about a month, you may need to take a few steps to jump-start your lymphatic system.
We need to assess the volume of excess fat in the problem area before we can tell you how long the treatment will take. If you are targeting small areas with less fat, your appointment will only take 35 minutes to complete.
If you are attempting to remove unwanted fat from several large areas, it may take several hours to complete your session. For example, if you have a lot of back fat or belly fat buildup, each area may take 45 minutes to an hour to complete.
If your ideal weight is within 30 pounds, there is no need for you to lose weight prior to your cryolipolysis session. However, people who are closer to their goal weight tend to be more satisfied with the results of a single session. This is because as you approach your ideal weight, fat loss becomes more intense.
If your ideal weight is over 30 pounds, lose at least enough weight to reach that range. If you have too much fat, the results will not be as pronounced. To get the best results from just one session, we recommend that you lose weight until you are within 10 pounds of your goal weight.
If you would like to undergo this fat removal treatment, you will need to schedule an initial evaluation. We will discuss your expectations with you and let you know if your perception of the results is realistic. If this treatment is unlikely to produce satisfactory results, we can advise you on the most beneficial course of action.
We will also answer all your questions and put you in touch with a licensed dietitian if your weight loss journey is not over, or if you are concerned about maintaining the results of your Cryolipolysis session. We will also guide you through other cosmetic treatments that may improve your appearance.
Many people are tempted to go on a strenuous diet before treatment so they can lose weight as quickly as possible. However, it is important that you lose weight slowly, steadily, and sustainably. Historically, the most sustainable approach to weight loss has been to first find the daily caloric needs to maintain your weight.

Once you know how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, cut 250 calories from your diet and burn an additional 250 calories through your daily activities. Depending on your diet, current activity level and goals, you can lose up to 750 calories per day from your diet and burn an additional 250 calories per day to lose 2 pounds per week.
Remember, the device cools the treatment area to the point of numbness. Therefore, there is no need for anesthesia or sedation. If a small area is being targeted, a small applicator will be applied to the skin to cool the area. If a large area is being treated, a larger applicator will be applied to the skin and freeze the fat in that area.
The applicator may need to be moved during your treatment to ensure optimal results. In addition, if you are treating both sides of the body, such as the arms, legs or buttocks, two applicators can be used at the same time for symmetrical, efficient results. We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing to your appointment and bring a book to read during your session. Please keep in mind that this may take several hours to complete, depending on how much fat needs to be removed.
Remember, cryolipolysis is a fat removal treatment, not a weight-loss treatment. The physical structure of your gastrointestinal system is not altered to "prevent" you from gaining weight in the future. Instead, the excess white fat cells in the target area are frozen and expelled from the body.
If you have reached your target weight, it is absolutely critical that you maintain your weight after treatment. Any weight gain should come from gaining muscle, so you can eat more without gaining fat. If you exceed your daily caloric needs after treatment, the remaining fat cells in your body will expand and counteract the effects of the treatment.
It is important not to be too aggressive in losing weight after cryolipolysis treatment. You may be very motivated to burn more fat after seeing an improvement in your contours. However, you must remember that weight loss should be sustainable.
Slow and steady weight loss comes from healthy eating and exercise habits. Once these healthy habits become an enjoyable part of your daily life, maintaining your ideal weight and body fat levels will be effortless.
Depending on your body fat percentage and body fat distribution, CoolSculpting can help you get the look you want. The average treatment removes approximately 26% of the fat cells in the target area. However, if you have gained too much fat due to unbalanced hormone levels, you may need some additional help.
If you are ready to perfect your silhouette and end your weight loss journey, you only need to schedule an initial consultation.

Here are some of the instruments available to assist with the treatment:
The HIFU machine, or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) machine is a relatively new skin tightening specialty aesthetic treatment that some consider to be a non-invasive and painless alternative to a face lift. It uses ultrasound energy to boost collagen production, resulting in tighter skin, wrinkle removal and increased skin elasticity. Using 5 cartridges of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm, 8.0mm and 13.0mm, it can reach different skin depths and work on different areas of the face, neck and body. Makes treatment more accurate.
Emsculpt Machine is a multifunctional body shaping and muscle building instrument. It is suitable for slimming, sculpting, muscle building, fat dissolving, exercising the waistline and lifting the buttocks for health benefits. Ems Body Sculpt burns fat while building muscle. The electromagnetic pulse causes super maximal muscle contraction, forcing muscle tissue to adapt, leading to increased muscle growth while burning fat through lipolysis. Non-invasive HI-EMT (High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Trainer) technology induces supermaximal muscle contractions that cannot be achieved through voluntary contraction, reducing fat in areas including the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves and thighs.
