CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting® is a body contouring treatment ideal for candidates
who want help eliminating stubborn fat in places that are resistant to diet and exercise. With over 8 million treatments performed, CoolSculpting® has helped both men and women shape away their unwanted bulges.
We’ll work with you to come up with a personalized treatment plan to meet your goals.
How does it work ?
Each CoolSculpting® treatment precisely targets a particular area, killing only these fat cells without any damage to the surrounding skin or tissue.
1. An applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the target area.
2. Fat cells underneath the skin are cooled to the precise temperature at which they crystallize.
3. Your body then naturally metabolizes these dead fat cells over the following weeks.
4. This process removes the cells completely – and they aren’t replaced by new cells, so they’re gone for good.
Session
At Dermagyms, you will begin with a consultation with the doctor and the treating specialist.
There are 10 different areas you can target and treat with CoolSculpting® : Under the chin - Bra fat - Chest - Upper arm - Back fat - Flank - Abdomen - Under the buttock - Thigh - Knees.
Based on your needs and goals, we will determine a personalized treatment plan.
The duration of the treatment per area is approximately 30 minutes. An applicator is able to destroy up to 27% of fat cells in one session. You can multiply the sessions (up to 27% of fat cells elimination at each session, the destroyed cells will not come back!)
Once the session is over, the specialist will massage the treated areas. Afterwards, you can return to your activities.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled with your specialist.
Results are visible 4 weeks to 3 months after the first session, the time it takes for the body to eliminate dead cells. Generally, 2 sessions, 8-12 weeks apart, are required for optimal results.
