CoolSculpting Elite
Tucson, AZ

If you have unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat on your face or body that concern you and you’re unable to improve your appearance through diet and exercise, then YES!

When patients think of fat loss solutions, liposuction often comes to mind. While liposuction is a popular and effective way to reduce fat, it is an invasive surgical procedure that involves small incisions and anesthesia, as well as some recovery time. While the results of liposuction can mean a dramatic improvement in body shape, it is a far more disruptive procedure than CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat cells with extreme cold. The cold temperature effectively kills the unwanted fat cells without requiring any incisions or fat extraction techniques. After your fat cells die, your body naturally metabolizes the cell debris, and they are gone forever.

CoolSculpting is not a procedure with immediate results, as it takes time for the body to metabolize the fat cells. Patients will usually see results after four weeks, and then another noticeable change at two months. It takes about six months for the full results to be achieved, with many improvements along the way.

CoolSculpting is not painful. Most patients report that there is very little discomfort. Some may experience a slight amount of pressure and a cold sensation, while others may find the procedure so pleasant that they take a nap during their treatment.

Because CoolSculpting is non-invasive, patients do not report a painful recovery process. Once the fat cells are frozen, your body metabolizes them naturally. This will happen as you are going about your daily activities and will not leave you feeling pain or discomfort during the process.

At ZL Medspa, our Nurse Practitioner, Laura Zimmerman, oversees your CoolSculpting procedure. She has over a decade of body contouring experience and is a dedicated professional committed to producing excellent results.

After CoolSculpting, the area is treated with radial shockwaves to break up stubborn fat blocks further.

One of the many benefits of CoolSculpting technology is that it can be completely customized to fit your unique body shape, treatment areas, and desired outcome. As such, the length of each session can vary. Sessions will typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Without harsh side effects or pain, CoolSculpting can even be completed during your lunch break.

Side effects, if any, are usually mild and quickly resolve. You may notice some mild discomfort in the treatment area, residual numbness, swelling, redness, or mild bruising. You will have no restrictions following treatment, and most clients return to their normal activities immediately. At ZL Medspa, we use the latest version of CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite, to help minimize side effects and maximize results.

Results may appear in as little as four weeks, but the most dramatic changes are usually visible after about three months.* Patients typically lose approximately 24% of the fat cells in the treated area. However, CoolSculpting is meant to contour the body and diminish the look of stubborn fat deposits for a more sculpted look. It is not a weight loss procedure, and those looking to lose a significant amount of weight may not be candidates for CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting is completely safe, so you can have multiple sessions to help you look and feel your best. After your initial CoolSculpting treatment plan, you can also opt for additional treatments to help maintain your outcome.

CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss method per se, but rather a technique for removing stubborn fat. Patients typically lose approximately 24% of the fat cells in the treated area. Those seeking to lose a significant amount of weight may not be candidates for CoolSculpting.

There is little to no pain associated with CoolSculpting treatments. Without incisions or injections, this non-surgical procedure involves virtually no downtime. The lack of negative side effects will allow you to resume your daily routine right away, including work and exercise.
