CoolSculpting North Vancouver Westview

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to permanently reduce localized fat cells in targeted areas. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back and double chin.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

360° assessment and treatment plan

Everyone’s body is different and a 360° assessment is essential to prepare a personalized treatment plan. During this consultation we will discuss your goals, provide recommendations based on your body type and shape, and suggest a customized treatment plan to achieve the desired results. Our staff has the expertise to guide you towards aesthetically pleasing, noticeable results.

Step 2

Mark the area to be treated

Identify the area to be treated with a cooling vacuum applicator during the CoolSculpting session. Trace the area with a nonpermanent marker to be used as a guiding grid for the precise positioning of the applicator in order to get overall harmonious results. Our goal is to achieve well-balanced sculpted body contours: hourglass-shaped for women and V-shaped for men.

Step 3

Protect the treatment area

Use the pre-treatment wipes before applying the gel pad onto the skin to protect it from frostbites. Therefore, the cooling effect during the procedure does not affect the epidermis, muscle tissue, or any other cells but the targeted fat cells.

Step 4

Position the applicator

Choosing the right applicator for the task and its correct positioning is critical for well-balanced results. The applicators come in distinct shapes, and our experts will select the one that fits you the best. Several applicators may be used for optimal results.

Step 5

Start the cryolipolysis treatment

Cryolipolysis is the process of destroying fat deposits through the delivery of controlled cooling of fat cells for approximately 30 minutes or more, depending on the applicator used. The applicator pulls the stubborn fat in and holds it in place with a strong vacuum. The device then cools down the fat bulge for about an hour. During this time, you can relax, have a snack, read or even nap in full comfort and security.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

A second or even a third CoolSculpting treatment may be recommended to further refine the targeted area. Once the desired effects are achieved, the results will last so long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, body contours can be toned and enhanced with Venus Freeze performed every four months. The treatment can be complemented with Fraxel to help improve the appearance of stretch marks and crepey skin.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or nursing should delay this procedure, as well as people with abdominal hernia.
