Advanced CoolSculpting is a treatment that sculpts and contours your body by freezing away tough fat cells. Using a specialized device, this treatment applies controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze fat cells, which reveals a tighter physique. At Clear Lake Dermatology in League City and Webster, TX, our board-certified dermatologists use advanced CoolSculpting treatments to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. We encourage you to schedule an appointment for additional information about CoolSculpting. Located near the Clear Lake region south of Houston, we can help you determine whether this procedure is right for you.

For League City and Webster, TX patients who are ready to reduce or eliminate regions of excess fat that have been resistant to other methods of body change, like diet and exercise, CoolSculpting at Clear Lake Dermatology is an exceptional treatment option that may offer several benefits, such as:

• Removal of stubborn fat cells
• FDA-approved, safe, and effective procedure
• No recovery or downtime, as opposed to more invasive treatments like liposuction
• Natural-looking, beautiful outcomes that you will notice almost immediately

While this treatment is successful on most people of any age, those who benefit the most from CoolSculpting:

• Stay within 30 pounds of their goal weight
• Struggle with difficult areas of fat that don't respond to weight-loss efforts like diet and exercise
• Set realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure
• Want to avoid or do not qualify for surgery
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Are not pregnant or trying to become pregnant

During your consultation with one of our dermatologists, we'll discuss your cosmetic goals, determine whether the procedure is right for you, and then design a CoolSculpting treatment plan that fits your unique needs. After your initial appointment, we can schedule your treatment. Your CoolSculpting procedure will take place in a private treatment room. Using a CoolSculpting applicator, our dermatologists will apply a gel pad to the treatment area and start the cryolipolysis technique. The cooling is delivered through the applicator, which targets and freezes fat cells. You may experience a cold sensation during the procedure, but this doesn't typically cause any pain. As the handpiece uses suction to pull the targeted fat toward the treatment area, you'll likely experience a slight tugging or stinging, but these sensations are usually mild.

Since CoolSculpting is noninvasive, you can return to your daily activities following your procedure. Often, patients can return to work immediately following their procedure. Side effects of the treatment can include stinging, redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the treated area. These symptoms are short-lived and will subside on their own. Following your procedure, you should notice results in as little as three weeks, with the most impressive results appearing over the next 1 – 3 months as your body sheds the unwanted fat.

Just how much will CoolSculpting cost?
The expense of CoolSculpting is dependent on the number of sessions needed and the quantity of fat that will be removed. During your consultation, we'll discuss your desired outcome to decide the best course of action to attain those results. We will also talk with you regarding any out-of-pocket costs.

How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting involves applying a controlled temperature to address fat cells in selected regions for treatment. Essentially, it cools the fat cells until they die. The cells are subsequently broken down by the body and expelled through natural bodily functions.

Is CoolSculpting safe?
CoolSculpting is a minimally invasive, topical treatment in which the device is applied simply to the skin’s surface. With this procedure, there is no need for a recovery period. You may notice some slight swelling and redness immediately following treatment, but that generally only lasts for about one week.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments needed to attain your desired outcome will be determined during your initial consultation. For many patients, only one treatment is enough, while others may require more therapy sessions dependent on the quantity of fat being removed. The number of sessions depends on your aesthetic goals and if there are larger layers of fat in target areas.

Do the fat cells grow back?
While the destroyed fat cells can't regenerate, new fat cells could form. In addition, weight gain will greatly influence your results. So in order to keep optimal results, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy diet plan and exercise routine.

No body is without flaws, and each of us has things we wish we could change — like stubborn deposits of fat that don't respond to a healthy diet and exercise. Because of technological advances, it's no longer necessary to choose between dealing with excess fat or undergoing liposuction. For a smaller, tauter shape, Clear Lake Dermatology in League City and Webster, TX is pleased to offer Greater Houston residents innovative treatments like CoolSculpting, which can reduce areas of stubborn fat without needing more invasive procedures. Schedule a consultation with one of our dermatologists to determine whether CoolSculpting is right for you or possible a different treatment is better for your aesthetic goals.
