CoolSculpting® Non-surgical Fat Reduction

As the first practice in Georgia to offer CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction, the providers of Dermatology Associates of Atlanta have seen Atlanta CoolSculpting patients eliminate unwanted fat with no downtime. Using a process called Cryolipolysis™ this new non-surgical liposuction technology applies targeted cold to small areas of unwanted fat. The cold temperature damages fat cells causing fat to be expelled through the body’s lymphatic system. It’s the solution to getting rid small pockets of unwanted fat without knives, sutures, lasers, needles, or even recovery time.

Due to the lymphatic system’s process of expelling fat, the results begin appearing about three weeks following treatment, with noticeable results in two months. Full results (usually a 20-40% fat reduction) will be present in four to six months. While one treatment will produce noticeable results, many patients undergo a secondary treatment to achieve desired results.

When pursuing fat reduction, it’s important to understand that CoolSculpting® should be reserved for very specific patients. Candidates for this treatment typically include those with very small areas of unwanted fat on the abdomen, thighs, saddlebags, love handles, and/or back. CoolSculpting is perfect for getting rid of stubborn fat that doesn’t budge with diet and exercise to help clothes fit better. In order to determine whether this procedure is right for you, schedule a consultation or call us at (404) 256-4457. Be sure to review our CoolSculpting before and after gallery to view a sample of results that can be achieved with this treatment.

Patients with larger areas of unwanted fat may be interested in our other fat reduction procedures like tumescent liposuction with SlimLipo™( minimally invasive liposuction) or laser liposuction.

Atlanta CoolSculpting® FAQs

What can I expect from my CoolSculpting results? How soon will they appear?

With one CoolSculpting treatment, most patients see a 20-40% fat reduction within 4-6 months. While results will start appearing within 3 weeks of treatment and noticeable results will be present within 2 months, the lymphatic system’s process of eliminating fat from fat cells takes time. To maximize results, some patients seek an additional CoolSculpting treatment. View our CoolSculpting before and after photos to see real patients’ results.

Who is a candidate for Atlanta CoolSculpting fat reduction?

CoolSculpting is designed for a very specific patient who has small amounts of “stubborn” fat that won’t respond to their best diet and exercise efforts. To determine if you are an eligible candidate, schedule a consultation today.

What if I am not an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting, but still have excess fat I’d like to get rid of?

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta offers a variety of fat reduction procedures, including tumescent liposuction with SlimLipo™, so if you’re interested in removing excess fat, schedule a consultation so that one of our providers can help you determine which fat reduction procedure will best meet your cosmetic goals.

What does CoolSculpting® treatment feel like?

During the first few minutes of your treatment, you will feel firm pressure from the CoolSculpting device, as well as extreme cold. After a few minutes, the treatment area will become numb. Patients are often able to talk to the phone, use their laptop, read a book or even nap during the session.

What’s the recovery time like with CoolSculpting? How soon will I be able to return to normal activities?

Due to the non-invasive nature of this fat reduction treatment, there is no downtime, so you’ll be able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

What can I expect during a CoolSculpting treatment?

During a CoolSculpting treatment, your Dermatology Associates of Atlanta Provider will place the CoolSculpting device on the treatment area. Once in place, the device sandwiches the tissue between two cooling plates. At first you will feel cold pressure that will discontinue after the first few minutes once the treatment area is numb. During the treatment, you can expect to relax and enjoy some “you time.” Some patients talk on the phone while others bring their laptops or read a book.

Will I need multiple CoolSculpting treatments?

Multiple CoolSculpting treatments are not necessary, but many CoolSculpting patients do pursue an additional treatment in order to maximize their results.
