What to expect
Your Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provider in Greenwood Village will begin by applying an applicator and gel pad to the treatment area. The applicator is the part that delivers controlled cooling to the fat being removed. Your provider will use a special handheld device, passing it over your skin.
You will feel a suction effect and cooling sensation when the device touches your skin. The suction draws fat deposits into contact with the cooling applicator. You may experience some sensations of minor pinching and pulling during your CoolSculpting treatment, but most people report the experience as being pain-free.
Periodically, your provider will massage the area of treatment to break up frozen fat cells. This will assist your body in absorbing and eliminating the destroyed fat cells.
Depending upon the size of the treatment area, a CoolSculpting treatment can last between one to three hours. While their procedure is being performed, many people listen to music, read, or browse the Internet.
It is important to note that not every individual obtains the results that they desire after only one CoolSculpting treatment session. The number of treatments that you will need to meet your aesthetic goals depends upon the size of the treatment area and your individual aesthetic desires.
Some people find that only one CoolSculpting treatment is sufficient, while others may require more than one treatment to achieve their goals.
