COOLSCULPTING®
About this treatment
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical liposuction or fat-freezing procedure that employs precisely controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin. This process causes the fat cells to crystallise and undergo natural apoptosis, leading to a reduction in the number of fat cells over time and resulting in a more sculpted physique.
The procedure delivers controlled cooling to specific fat cells, crystallising and freezing them, and as the body naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells, the end result is a sculpted appearance.
Regarding side effects, CoolSculpting is generally considered a safer and non-invasive alternative to traditional fat reduction surgeries like liposuction. During the procedure, most individuals only experience a tugging sensation where the skin is between the cooling panels, without significant discomfort. Since no cutting, tissue manipulation, or anaesthesia is involved, there is usually no need for recovery time, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately.
Minor side effects, if any, are typically localised to the treatment area and diminish within days to weeks after the procedure. Some patients may experience numbness or loss of sensation in the treated area for about a month, which is considered normal.
For enhanced comfort, our body contouring, and sculpting treatments take place in our dedicated Sculpt Suite at our clinic in Stoke-on-Trent. This specially designed suite prioritises patient comfort, allowing you to relax, watch your favourite show during treatment, enjoy a complimentary snack, and even take a shower in the ensuite bathroom, ensuring you leave the treatment room ready for your day ahead. Feel free to ask us for a tour of our Sculpt Suite during your next visit.
