CoolSculpting has an important role to play in your New Year’s Resolutions for 2025. Our Advanced Aesthetics team offers CoolSculpting treatments for our patients in Oklahoma City and the surrounding communities who want to give their dreams a more defined shape. Let’s talk about what CoolSculpting can do for you and why it might be the thing that sets you apart in 2025.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical method we use to target fat cells. How does it work? Cold temperatures break down fat without harming any surrounding tissue. Over time, your body flushes these cells, leaving the treated areas thinner. It’s become popular because it requires no incisions, and you can recover from it very quickly. Many people choose CoolSculpting with Advanced Aesthetics to deal with persistent spots that don’t respond to diet or exercise alone.
While your workout routine and balanced meals help you manage your weight, sometimes certain bulges simply won’t shrink. By “freezing” the fat cells, the procedure aims to smooth out these trouble areas.
Why CoolSculpting Fits Your New Year’s Resolution
Why should you schedule an appointment to talk about your procedure with our team?
1. Enhances Motivation
A new year often means new habits and better self-care. If you’re tracking your progress and notice that some areas of your body just aren’t responding, CoolSculpting can give you an extra lift. Seeing faster changes can elevate your confidence and motivate you to keep working on the rest of your wellness plan.
2. Complements Healthy Habits
CoolSculpting is not a solution for major weight loss. You still need balanced nutrition and regular exercise to keep your shape in check. However, it can be a good addition to your new health routine by giving you extra help where the weight seems to hang on.
3. Minimizes Downtime
Many medical procedures that remove fat require surgery and recovery time. CoolSculpting doesn’t require a hospital stay or major changes to your daily routine. You can often return to your regular schedule right after your session. You’ll stay on track with workouts and other tasks without long breaks.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting relies on a process called cryolipolysis. It sounds like a big word, but here’s a quick explanation: fat cells freeze at a warmer temperature than skin or muscle. Because of this, the device at Advanced Aesthetics can cool fat cells to a level where they break down. But it spares other tissue. Over the following weeks, your body metabolizes these fat cells, leaving you with a slimmer look in the treated area.
At our Oklahoma City office, our team uses the latest tools for CoolSculpting sessions. We make sure the device sits right on top of the problem spot. You may feel a bit cold at first, then a pulling sensation. This part usually lessens after a few minutes. Most patients read a book, scroll through social media, or even catch a quick nap during the session.
Ideal Areas for CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting works well for multiple parts of the body. Common areas we treat include:
- Abdomen: Helpful if you’re trying to shrink a belly pouch.
- Flanks (Love Handles): Targets that “pinchable” fat on the sides of your waist.
- Thighs: Works on the inner and outer thigh regions.
- Arms: Aims to slim down that “underarm jiggle.”
- Back/Bra Bulge: Helps with unwanted lumps in the back area.
- Double Chin: Addresses that area beneath your chin.
CoolSculpting is best for people who are close to their target weight but want to shape certain trouble spots. It’s not designed to treat obesity or to work as a stand-alone weight loss program. Think of it more as a final touch to help you reach a leaner shape.
Setting Realistic Expectations
It’s normal to be excited about getting rid of stubborn fat. Just remember that CoolSculpting is not an instant fix. After each session, your body will take time to get rid of those broken-down fat cells. You may start to see changes in as little as three weeks, but full results can take around two to three months. Most clients need more than one treatment to see full results spaced 4- 6 weeks apart.
Patience is key. If you pair CoolSculpting with a healthy lifestyle, you’ll have a better chance of keeping those stubborn spots from coming back. Sticking to your fitness plan, eating balanced meals, and drinking enough water will all play a part in maintaining your results.
The CoolSculpting Session: What to Expect
What happens at your upcoming CoolSculpting session at Advanced Aesthetics?
- Consultation
- You’ll meet with our Oklahoma City team to go over your goals. Our staff will determine if CoolSculpting is right for you and point out the areas that might benefit from this approach.
- Planning
- Before your session begins, we’ll take photos so we can measure your progress later. Then, we’ll outline the target area. We’ll also place a gel pad on your skin to help shield it from direct contact with the applicator.
- Cooling Process
- Once the device starts, you may feel a strong chill at first. This usually eases after a few minutes. Some patients report a pulling or tugging feel as the device works around the area. After this, you can relax. Sessions can last anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour per area.
- Massage
- After we remove the device, your practitioner may massage the treated spot for a minute or two. It’ll help break up the frozen fat cells. Then, you’re free to head home or back to your usual tasks. Many people go right back to work the same day.
- Minimal Side Effects
- Feeling a bit sore or itchy or seeing mild swelling in the treated area is normal. These effects usually fade on their own over a short period. Most patients do not need medication or special care after the session.
- Reduction
-
- CoolSculpting can eliminate up to 25% of fat in each treated area. Over time, your body processes these damaged cells, leading to a smoother shape that can go hand in hand with your regular workout or healthy diet.
