CoolSculpting in Ladera Ranch & Irvine

At South Coast Plastic Surgery, we perform CoolSculpting in Ladera Ranch and Irvine, which involves lightly suctioning fatty areas into the device, with a controlled cold applied to the excess fat.

Are you tired of living with excess fat around the abdomen or lingering on other areas of your body? CoolSculpting has forever changed the aesthetics industry, as it made it possible to freeze away the fat rather than extract it with liposuction. The fat cells frozen in the treatment are then slowly shed by your body, revealing a leaner, more attractive body contour.

Does CoolSculpting work?

The beauty of CoolSculpting is that you can recontour your body with virtually no recovery time. The process of freezing away the fat is called cryolipolysis. Your body is programmed to store fat in various areas, including:

Tummy
Lower back
Upper arms
Flanks (love handles)
Thighs
Buttocks

No matter how hard you work out or how often, or how carefully you watch your diet, you can still be left with excess fat that simply will not disappear. This is when CoolSculpting works its magic. The treatment is non-invasive, non-surgical, does not involve a scalpel or stitches, and carries lower risk than liposuction. And it works.

Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting?

Candidates for CoolSculpting want to reduce specific areas of unwanted fat that resist diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is not for patients who are obsese because it was designed for more specific areas of treatment instead of reducing large areas of fat generally around the body. However, it can be viewed as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. If you’ve tried to reduce areas of fat with a healthy diet and exercise, but the problem areas remain, CoolSculpting might be right for you. Call us for a consultation about whether CoolSculpting is the best treatment to help you realize your unique goals for your body.

What is the treatment like to experience?

Our Orange County CoolSculpting treatments are not difficult to experience. You will be resting comfortably on a treatment bed. The device is applied to the area with excess fat, and you will feel a slight pulling sensation as it is drawn into the device, followed by intense cold. No anesthesia is needed, as the controlled cooling emitted by the device has a numbing effect. You will feel pulling, tugging, possibly mild pinching, or stinging, which fades quickly.

What is the recovery time?

You do not need to worry about taking time off from work or play. CoolSculpting does not require any recovery time. If you feel any discomfort, over-the-counter medications are typically all that you will need. You may experience some swelling or bruising in the area treated, which will subside quickly.

How long does it take for the fat to disappear?

Many people see the slimming effect starting to appear at three weeks, with more visible slimming at two months, continuing for up to six months. You will need some patience, but it is well worth waiting for. A slimmer figure can be yours.

Your Results

Depending on your current physique and your aesthetic goals, you may need more than one CoolSculpting treatment to achieve your most ideal results. Many patients notice initial results after just one CoolSculpting treatment. However, whether you need several treatments or not, do keep in mind that your body needs time to naturally process and flush out the fat cells that are destroyed. Because of this, it may take a few months to see the ultimate results of your CoolSculpting treatments.

Once your body completes the process of disposing of the dead fat cells, you will be able to enjoy a more toned, trim and sculpted physique–and finally say goodbye to those stubborn fat pockets!
