CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. At Chesapeake Vein Center & MedSpa, CoolSculpting treatments are performed in a physician-led setting under the direction of Dr. Surya Challa, the practice’s Medical Director and an actively involved provider. Patients from Chesapeake and Norfolk choose our practice for body contouring because it combines advanced aesthetic technology with true medical oversight.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells beneath your skin. The process, known as cryolipolysis, works by freezing fat cells at a temperature that causes them to break down naturally over time. Once treated, your body gradually processes and removes these fat cells through the lymphatic system, leading to a more contoured appearance in your treated area(s).
CoolSculpting is designed for localized fat reduction, not weight loss, and is often used to address areas where fat tends to be resistant to diet and exercise.
Areas Commonly Treated with CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting can be customized to treat multiple areas of the body, including:
-
Abdomen and lower belly
-
Flanks (love handles)
-
Back and bra-line fat
-
Inner and outer thighs
-
Upper arms
-
Area beneath the buttocks
-
Double chin and jawline
-
Fat around the knees
What to Expect During CoolSculpting Treatment
Each CoolSculpting session involves placing a specialized applicator on the targeted area. The applicator delivers controlled cooling while gently suctioning the tissue. You may experience a strong cold sensation at the beginning of treatment, followed by numbness in the area. Sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment zone.
Because CoolSculpting does not involve surgery or anesthesia, patients can usually return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
CoolSculpting Results
CoolSculpting results develop gradually. As your body eliminates the treated fat cells, changes may begin to appear within several weeks, with continued improvement over the following months. The final outcome depends on the treatment plan, the number of sessions performed, and your body’s response to treatment.
