CoolSculpting®

Sometimes diet and exercise aren’t enough to combat stubborn fat. Before throwing in the towel, try CoolSculpting® treatments and see real results. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that reduces unwanted fat on your body. This FDA-cleared procedure uses controlled cooling to target diet-and-exercise-resistant fat and eliminate it. CoolSculpting® results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you can look and feel great.

PUR-ONE MEDISPA is a certified practice, and Allergan has trained us on the latest CoolSculpting® applicators and knowledge of treatment. CoolSculpting® harnesses the power of cold to freeze away fat and contour your body for help with the excess fat your body holds onto. This noninvasive procedure works by delivering controlled cooling to gently and effectively target fat cells in problem areas:

• Love handles (flanks)
• Belly fat (abdomen)
• Back of upper arms
• Inner and outer thighs
• Bra fat and back fat
• Double chin (submental fat)
• Fat underneath the buttocks
• Any other visible fat bulges

How the Treatment Works

The patented applicator sucks in tissue and only targets superficial fat cells, leaving skin, muscle, and nerves unaffected. CoolSculpting® Cryolipolysis targets and cools fat cells to temperatures that trigger the fat cells. Following treatment, the fat cells enter a death sequence and are gradually removed by the immune systems in the next few months. This results in the fat layer thickness being reduced as treated fat cells are frozen and eventually eliminated over time. CoolSculpting® results in up to a 25 percent fat reduction in the treated areas of the body without any downtime. The CoolSculpting® procedure is effective on almost any body part, so love handles, upper arm fat, and spare tires can begin to melt away after treatment sessions at Pur-One Medispa.

How long does CoolSculpting® last?

The procedure requires two one-and-a-half to four-hour sessions set 30 days apart. Positive results can be seen gradually over the span of 3-6 months. During this time, it is important to continue eating healthy, exercising, and drinking water. By prioritizing a holistic approach, you will enjoy the long-term benefits of CoolSculpting®. Since its introduction, CoolSculpting® has become the #1 fat reduction and weight loss procedure, used in over 6-million treatments worldwide! With our eye for aesthetics and gentle touch, PUR-ONE MEDISPA performs the region’s best CoolSculpting® work.

Are there any side effects?

During the procedure, you may experience pulling, tugging, pinching, or discomfort from the cooling sensations. However, many patients experience little to no discomfort and actually find themselves very relaxed during the treatment. CoolSculpting® side effects may include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. You should not have this procedure done if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. CoolSculpting® is not an effective treatment for obesity. As with any of our procedures, our experts at PUR-ONE MEDISPA can consult with you to determine if CoolSculpting® is right for you.

How much does CoolSculpting® cost?

The cost of CoolSculpting® varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your goal with treatment.

**Avoid using anti-inflammatories for two weeks because it increases the risk of bruising. These include fish oil, omega-3, flax seed, ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, turmeric, cinnamon, and others. Never stop a medically indicated anti-inflammatory without consulting your physician. Any anti-inflammatory use in a 14-day span can result in more bleeding and bruising.
