CoolSculpting in Tulsa, OK

While diet and physical activity certainly play critical roles in maintaining ideal body weight, we also know that sometimes it isn’t this simple. Sometimes, despite losing the weight you want, you’re still dealing with unwanted pockets of fat around your midsection or thighs. These areas may not be improved through diet and exercise alone; however, our Tulsa, OK, dermatologist Dr. Alison Fischer and the team at Tulsa Hills Cosmetic & Laser Skin Center may be able to treat these stubborn areas of fat with CoolSculpting.

What is CoolSculpting?

This non-invasive cosmetic system uses a gentle and safe cooling system that is directed over the treatment area to penetrate through the skin to target, freeze, and kill the fat cells. According to the CoolSculpting website, this procedure can reduce fat cells by about 20 to 25 percent.

Coming into Our Office for a CoolSculpting Consultation

The first step is to come in for a consultation so that our dermatologist Dr. Fischer can sit down with you to better understand your cosmetic goals. This procedure, as with most cosmetic treatments we offer, can be tailored to meet your needs. Once we have created the proper treatment plan we will also determine if you require more than one CoolSculpting session to achieve the optimal results. Depending on your specific needs, we may be able to treat more than one area at a time.

Undergoing CoolSculpting

During treatment, a special pad will be placed over the area and the handheld CoolSculpting device will transmit the proper amount of cooling to the area to freeze and destroy unwanted fat cells. Since the treatment process is completely non-invasive and painless you can easily listen to music, watch something on your phone or read a book during your session. There is typically no downtime or recovery period with CoolSculpting, so patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Seeing Results After CoolSculpting Treatment

Many patients report seeing results around three weeks after their treatment; however, you won’t see significant changes until about two months. Even then, your body will still be removing those unwanted fat cells for up to six months after your cooling procedure.

Candidates for CoolSculpting

It’s important to note that this treatment isn’t right for everyone. An ideal candidate will be someone who already has reached the ideal or close to ideal weight but wants to spot treat certain areas that aren’t responding to a healthy diet and regular exercise. CoolSculpting should not be considered a weight-loss treatment or a solution for being overweight or obese. This should be a complementary treatment to get you one step closer to the more ideal shape and figure you want.
