How Does
CoolSculpting® Work?

CoolSculpting® is a unique process that destroys fat cells beneath the skin with targeted freezing. It doesn’t use lasers, sonic waves, or surgery to remove the fat cells. Unlike those procedures, CoolSculpting® does not destroy or damage surrounding tissue; it targets and kills only fat cells.

In a CoolSculpting® session, the device is attached to the area to be targeted where it applies light suction to the skin and underlying tissue. Once activated, it delivers controlled cooling into the tissue below. But this is the unique aspect of CoolSculpting® — the temperature involved only freezes fat cells, not surrounding non-fat cells. Once the fat cells are crystallized they then gradually die. Your body, as with any non-essential by-product, then eliminates the dead fat cells naturally. With those fat cells gone, the remaining fat cells condense into a thinner fat layer.

A CoolSculpting® session with Dr. Saltz and his team takes from one to three hours. The procedure is pain-free and patients can read a book or even browse the web on their laptops while receiving the treatment. There is no recovery time; patients can return to normal activities immediately following their session.

CoolSculpting® complements body contouring surgeries such as the “Mommy Makeover” by targeting excess fat on your love handles, thighs, back, or any area on the body.

As your body continues to flush away the fat, you will actually notice your results improving over time. Most patients realize the final results of CoolSculpting® after about four months, and according to manufacturer data, nine out of 10 people had an undeniable reduction of fat after just one treatment.

CoolSculpting® was the first non-invasive fat reduction procedure and it is still the most popular. It has reduced unwanted fat for millions of people around the world. As for candidacy, just about everyone, no matter what kind of shape they are in, has unwanted pockets of stubborn fat that are virtually impossible to target with changes in diet and exercise. CoolSculpting® is the way to reduce the fat in these areas by 20 to 25 percent, without a single incision or minute of recovery time.

Dr. Saltz does want his patients to understand that CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss procedure; it is a body-contouring procedure. Patients generally should be at or near their ideal body weight before having CoolSculpting® done. This will then remove the stubborn pockets of fat and further slim your contour.

One important aspect to candidacy is the elasticity of your skin. The skin on the area you are having treated needs to be able to tighten down once the excess fat has been frozen and is then removed from your body. If your skin has been stretched due to long-term weight gain or pregnancy, sometimes it has lost its full elasticity and it cannot tighten back down fully. If this is the case, a tummy tuck with Dr. Saltz is a better option, as it will remove excess skin and bring separated abdominal muscles back into the center of the stomach.

CoolSculpting® is an innovative, non-invasive procedure and a perfect way to get rid of unwanted fat. But the procedure needs to be performed by an experienced team for the best results. Our amazing Master Aestheticians Patty McIntosh, Michelle Young, and Ali Rasor provide that experience for us, with over 8,400 treatments completed. Our team specializes in unique body mapping which allows for strategic placement of the applicators during your CoolSculpting® which optimizes your results. Dr. Saltz is on the CoolSculpting® National Advisory Board and has taught the technique nationally and internationally. That’s the kind of experience that will deliver the body contouring results you seek with your CoolSculpting® procedure! Also, Saltz Plastic Surgery & Saltz Spa Vitoria provides Dualsculpting (2 CoolSculpting® machines used simultaneously) so your treatment can be completed in half the time!

CoolSculpting® was originally approved by the FDA in 2010 for the lower abdomen and upper thighs. Since then, the addition of a smaller handpiece enabled the procedure to be used on other locations. These are the current areas approved by the FDA for CoolSculpting®:

  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Back fat
  • Bra line fat
  • Flanks
  • Underneath the buttocks
  • Double chin
  • Upper arms

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your session at Saltz. But expect your most dramatic results to show after about two months. Your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4-6 months after treatment. This fat is gone for good.

When you have your first CoolSculpting® treatment on an area, the process of freezing the fat cells to the point of cell death (clinically known as cryolipolysis) causes from 20-24 percent of the fat cells in the area to die and be flushed from the body. Subsequent treatments on the same area deliver lower amounts of fat reduction.

CoolSculpting® destroys and your body removes just under a quarter of the fat cells in the treatment areas. These fat cells are gone for good. Our bodies usually have a set number of fat cells, and these fat cells expand with weight gain and shrink with weight loss. The decrease made by CoolSculpting’s controlled freezing is permanent. Those fat cells won’t be coming back.

CoolSculpting® doesn’t have any residual effects that require time to clear. That means you can have CoolSculpting® sessions as often as you please. You wouldn’t repeat a treatment on an area immediately, as you would first want to see what your fat reduction looks like after two to three months, but you could come in and have another area treated. CoolSculpting has received FDA clearance for eight different areas on the body.

Subsequent treatments on the same area will not remove the same amount of fat as the first treatment. Most patients have a single treatment on an area. Once they see the changes, they often return to have another area treated. Some patients do opt to have a second treatment on the same area, but that is not necessary for most patients.

CoolSculpting® is completely non-invasive. Immediately following your session, we massage your treatment area for a couple of minutes to get the blood circulating back into the area after the cooling, but then you’re done and you can immediately go back to work or your other typical activities.

CoolSculpting® and liposuction have the same target — to remove or lessen stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. But that’s where the two procedures diverge.

Liposuction uses a cannula to suction out fat from these stubborn pockets. But to gain access, surgical incisions are made. Liposuction permanently removes the fat, but can sometimes create dents or lumpy areas where the fat has been removed. After the procedure, some recovery time is required.

CoolSculpting® doesn’t require any incisions. And its results tend to be smoother because the fat cells that have been frozen are across an area, not simply where the cannula has suctioned (in liposuction) them away. There is no recovery time.

You wouldn’t combine a CoolSculpting® session with a surgical procedure, but we have myriad treatments in Spa Vitoria that would maximize your appointment time at either of our two Saltz Plastic Surgery locations.

For instance, you could have CoolSculpting® performed on your abdomen and then have us remove some unsightly spider veins on your calves with our Nd:YAG laser. You could have CoolSculpting® to address bra line fat and then treat your face to an awesome HydraFacial. You could take care of a session of laser hair removal to get your bikini line ready for the pool and follow it with CoolSculpting® on your flanks.

If you’d like to combine a CoolSculpting® session with another of our Spa Vitoria treatments, let’s talk about it when you schedule your appointment.

Cryolipolysis is the secret behind CoolSculpting®. Fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than muscle tissue, blood vessels, skin, and other tissue. Once the fat cells are frozen, they die and the body gets about the business of removing them from the system, as it does with any waste products. The lymphatic system is responsible for this cleanup job, and it breaks down and flushes these dead cells from the body over the course of the next few weeks and months.

You’ll feel some intense cooling, but you won’t feel pain during your session. At the onset, you’ll feel a pulling sensation as the suction draws your tissues up to the cooling panels. Once the cooling is delivered, at first you’ll feel an intense cooling sensation for a few minutes. Most people don’t describe this as painful, just very cold. Then the area becomes numb, and the sensation passes. From there, you’ll feel little. You can read a book, answer emails, watch videos on your laptop, or take a nap during the procedure.

CoolSculpting® is completely non-invasive. The FDA has approved CoolSculpting® for the eight body areas listed above. There are no incisions of any sort. After treatment, patients usually have some degree of redness, slight swelling, bruising, and skin sensitivity on the areas where the CoolSculpting® applicators drew the skin onto the cooling panels. These after-effects are due to the outer skin reacting to the intense cold delivered in a CoolSculpting® session. They usually pass within a couple days to a week at most. These feelings and sensations don’t keep most patients from returning to work or their normal activities immediately.

Although very rare, more serious side effects such as extreme pain, severe numbing, and bloating along the area of contact with the cooling panels are possible.

At Saltz, we’re big fans of this non-invasive fat reduction treatment, as evidenced by Dr. Saltz being on the CoolSculpting® National Advisory Board. CoolSculpting® is the most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatment in the world — to date over 6,000,000 CoolSculpting® treatments have been performed around the world. This innovative treatment has proven to be a safe and effective way to reduce fat.

I would like to commend Dr. Saltz’s Spa Vitoria for being one of the best spas I have ever visited. The ambiance was incredible and the treatment by the aesthetician was wonderful and so professional. They treat you as though you are the most important client they have and want to make sure that you know that you are. . . I would recommend Spa Vitoria to anyone for any of the services that they offer. Dr. Saltz, himself, came in to make sure that I was being treated well. A client forever.

I have had two chemical peels at Saltz Spa Vitoria and the highly trained staff explain exactly what you can expect during and after the procedure. It’s always a bit frightening initially to have anything done to your face but the aestheticians are competent, friendly and put you at ease.

Sue Bradford

I first went to Saltz Spa Vitoria in 2003 because I had so much hyper pigmentation on my neck that I could not bring myself to wear a necklace. Three IPL treatments took care of that problem and I have not looked back since. I will soon be 65 and, with Torri’s expertise and guidance, my skin is clear and smooth, and I feel totally confident to go out with just clean skin. I have made use of Thermage and Clear and Brilliant treatments, peels and facials and have better skin at this point in my life than I ever dreamed would be possible. My experience with Saltz Spa Vitoria has been one of complete liberation.
