About CoolSculpting Treatment

CoolSculpting in Carmel just got better! Introducing CoolSculpting Elite– an enhanced CoolSculpting treatment with a new innovative technology called Z-wave, which improves our patients’ CoolSculpting treatment results.

Following a CoolSculpting treatment, the standard protocol is to do a manual massage on the treated area. The massage technique has been proven to improve the results versus no massage at all. Now, we are going one step further and using the Z-wave after each CoolSculpting treatment.

According to the studies, the use of a Z-wave treatment following a CoolSculpting treatment increases the efficacy of each treatment by up to 50%.

If you’re ready to experience the new non-surgical way to conquer persistent fat, request a consultation online or call 317-848-5512 to meet with a certified. CoolSculpting specialist at My Plastic Surgery Group.

What Is the CoolSculpting Procedure?

The CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure is FDA-cleared and contours the body by safely and effectively freezing away unwanted fat for good without surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.

After consulting with one of our certified CoolSculpting specialists to determine your personalized course of treatment, a gel pad will be applied to the area in which you want to reduce fat, followed by the CoolSculpting applicator. No anesthetic is required, so no shots are needed.

The applicator will draw up the targeted tissue between its two cooling panels then the cooling begins. During your procedure, feel free to read, check your email, or even take a nap.

Each CoolSculpting treatment requires about 1 hour per area. Therefore, if you want to treat the hip-waist area on both the right and the left, your treatment session would require about 2 hours. You can freeze fat off on multiple areas of your body with the CoolSculpting procedure, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your CoolSculpting specialist will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored just for you.

The CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure is completely non-surgical, so you can typically return to normal activities immediately.

In the weeks and months to follow, your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. Once the fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
