About the DualSculpting Procedure

So many advancements are being made every day in the arena of body contouring. We are always working to make it safer, more effective, and faster. We have the amazing ability to deliver DualSculpting without the need to resort to general anesthetics or pain medication.

You and your practitioner will discuss precisely which two spots you find to be your trouble spots. During your body sculpting treatment, your practitioner will utilize two CoolSculpting machines. This powerful, vacuum-like machine has been constructed to safely remove the unwanted fat tissue without harming nearby areas such as the surrounding skin. It works by gently suctioning the fat up into the applicator and freezing and destroying the fat cells.

The DualSculpting procedure is a very controlled cooling system, which targets these unnecessary fat cells. The fat cells freeze and break down. From the cold temperatures, they deteriorate. During your Atlanta DualSculpting treatment, you may find that you experience a cold sensation in the areas that are being treated. This is totally normal and tends only to last a few minutes as your body works to adjust.

As your body becomes acclimated to the temperature, this cold sensation will diminish. Once your treatment is over, your body works to naturally process the dead fat cells and eliminate them from your body. Most patients find that they are able to sit back and relax, read, maybe watch TV, or even catch a nap during their DualSculpting treatments. With double the action of a DualSculpting treatment, you can be out the door in an hour.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a treatment that can reduce fat in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is the world’s first and only fat reduction procedure that employs cold to eliminate unwanted fat cells, resulting in the reduction of the fat layer. It is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment with minimal side effects and no downtime.

How does CoolSculpting work?

Fat cells don’t like the cold! The temperature of the CoolSculpting applicators. At -11 degrees Celsius, fat cells become injured, then freeze and die. The treated fat cells will be eliminated through your body’s natural physical processes in the days and weeks that follow your treatment. 20%-25% of the fat layer can be reduced with CoolSculpting.

What areas does CoolSculpting treat?

We like to say, “if you can squeeze it, we can freeze it!”. CoolSculpting can reduce fat in the abdomen, flanks, inner & outer thighs, banana roll, arms, bra line, back, cami fat, chin, and knees. Read more about each treatment area here.

Am I a good candidate?

Generally, a good candidate is someone who has noticeable bulges in certain areas. We suggest that you set up a consultation so that you can discuss exactly which areas you’re looking to address with CoolSculpting so that one of our practitioners can aptly determine what will best serve you.

What is the CoolSculpting treatment time?

It all depends on the area you are treating. Thankfully, we can perform DualSculpting, which allows us to cut treatment time in half by using two machines simultaneously. Based on the treatment area and applicator used, treatments are either 35 minutes (for abdomen, flanks, arms, bra line/back, flanks, inner thighs, banana rolls), 45 minutes (for chins, knees, cami fat), or 1 hour and 15 minutes (for outer thighs).

What does a CoolSculpting treatment feel like?

You will experience some slight pressure and a cold sensation in the targeted areas. As your body acclimates to the temperature, this sensation will diminish. Most patients are able to sit back and relax, read, watch TV, work on their laptop, or even catch a nap.

Is CoolSculpting safe?

Over one million CoolSculpting procedures have been performed successfully and safely worldwide. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared.

What are the risks associated with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective procedure for non-invasive fat reduction. Common side effects include a feeling of temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and slight pain in the treated areas. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria or have a hernia in the area of treatment. We encourage you to set up a consultation with one of our expert technicians to determine if the CoolSculpting treatment is right for you.

What is the recovery, or is there any downtime with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, and there is no downtime or recovery. You can expect to be tender and sore after a treatment, but most patients can return to their normal activities, including work and working out immediately. It’s a great lunch break procedure! As CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment, you can feel free to return to your normal activities immediately following your procedure if you wish.

Does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting has changed the game in body contouring and plastic surgery, making non-invasive and non-surgical treatments the way to go. We wouldn’t be one of the highest volume CoolSculpting providers in the state of Georgia if the treatment didn’t work! Statistically, one treatment results in 20-25% of fat reduction in the treated area. Our highly trained staff will advise you on how many treatments you may need to reach your desired goal.

When will I see results?

Some patients begin to see results as quickly as three weeks after their initial treatment. You will continue to see changes in your body for approximately six months, as your body will continue to flush out the crystallized fat cells.

Are patients satisfied with CoolSculpting results?

We will let you be the judge of that! See our before & after gallery here. CoolSculpting has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates of any cosmetic procedure. Patients have reported a 96% satisfaction rate after completing six cycles or more, and eight out of ten patients would recommend the treatment.

Are the results from CoolSculpting permanent?

Following the CoolSculpting treatment, if your weight is maintained with a good diet and exercise, the results from a CoolSculpting treatment should be lasting.

Do I need to follow any special workout regimen or diet?

No, it is not necessary to see results. However, many patients feel a renewed sense of motivation after their body contouring procedure and want to maintain their new figure by taking better care of themselves.

What if I gain weight after CoolSculpting?

Many patients wind up taking even better care of their bodies after enjoying the results from their CoolSculpting procedure. We recommend that you engage in healthy eating habits and exercise on a regular basis following a CoolSculpting treatment to avoid gaining weight. However, if you do gain weight, size change will occur naturally and not just in the treated areas.

How much does CoolSculpting cost?

It varies. It all depends on how many areas you’d like to focus treatment on and the number of sessions needed. A treatment plan can be created for you during your complimentary consultation.
