Our approach
What is CoolSculpting cryolipolysis?
At DGB Clinic, we use AbbVie’s CoolSculpting system, one of the most extensively studied cryolipolysis devices. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue. CoolSculpting applies carefully controlled cooling to a targeted area, prompting some fat cells to break down while leaving neighbouring structures intact.
The process has two stages:
Targeted cooling: An applicator draws in and cools fatty tissue, typically for 35 to 60 minutes, to start the process.
Gradual fat reduction : Treated fat cells are cleared over four to twelve weeks. Results can last if your weight stays stable.
Treatment time:
1 to 8 hours
Downtime:
No downtime. Resume activities right away. Mild redness, numbness or tenderness may occur for several days.
benefits
Treatment goals
Double chin, stubborn fat, body contouring and menopause-related changes
CoolSculpting may reduce localized fat resistant to diet and exercise in areas such as under the chin, the flanks, abdomen, thighs, arms, back, inner knees and below the buttocks.
It can also be considered for people whose fat distribution has changed around perimenopause or menopause.
The technique:
A protective gel is applied before the applicator draws the target tissue between cooling plates. Several areas may be treated in one visit. The area is massaged after the applicator is removed.
Benefits:
Measurable reduction in treated fat cells.
Several areas may be treated in one visit.
No anesthesia, incisions or recovery period.
Gradual, natural-looking results.
Technology cleared by Health Canada and the FDA.
effects & longevity
Expected results
Immediate effect
The area may feel temporarily firmer after treatment. Visible changes usually begin after three to six weeks as treated fat cells are cleared.
Evolution :
Fat reduction continues for up to 12 weeks. Results are generally assessed at a follow-up two to three months later; some areas may benefit from a second session.
Duration:
Treated fat cells do not regenerate. Results may last when weight remains stable; significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells. One or two sessions per area are often enough.
