CoolSculpting in Toronto

How does the science behind CoolSculpting work?

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive FDA-approved fat reduction technology in which an applicator is applied to the skin over targeted areas to deliver precisely controlled cooling. The treated fat cells beneath are exposed to these cool temperatures causing them to crystallize and die while leaving the skin itself unaffected as lipids freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding fatty tissues. The body’s lymphatic system then naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells over the following weeks without replacing them– which means these desired results are long-term. You’ll begin to notice a fat reduction that mimics the natural process of weight loss.

This specialized procedure is completely non-surgical, so you can typically return to work and normal daily activities without any downtime.

Who is the best candidate for CoolSculpting? What areas can be treated?

Cryolipolysis is ideal for those seeking non-surgical body contouring to treat unwanted visible fat deposits that are stubborn to shift even with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is versatile in treating this “pinchable” fat on many problematic areas of the body including:

• Under the chin (submental fat or double chin)
• Upper arms
• Bra bulge
• Chest
• Upper and lower abdomen
• Upper and lower back
• Flanks (love handles)
• Under the buttocks 
• Outer thighs 
• Inner thighs

The first step is to have a free consultation with your provider at NCBC Med-Laser to determine if you are a candidate and create a customized treatment plan that is tailored to your individual goals.

WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING?

While CoolSculpting is highly effective for many, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals who should consult carefully before proceeding include:

• Those with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
• Those seeking a weight-loss solution rather than localized fat reduction.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? HOW MANY SESSIONS?

Each area takes approximately 45-60 minutes to treat in a session and multiple areas can be targeted in the same session.

You will begin to notice results within a few weeks after a session as the body naturally metabolizes the targeted fat cells with full results achieved after a few months. It is recommended to wait 1-3 months between sessions.
Although one session will provide noticeable change, each can only reduce about 25% of the fat in the localized area. The number of sessions depends on the client’s preferred individual body image goals.

Since the targeted fat cells are eliminated for good, the results are permanent with the maintenance of a good diet and a regular exercise regimen.

ENHANCE YOUR RESULTS WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

While CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells permanently, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to ensuring long-term results. After your treatment, it is recommended to:

• Stick to a balanced diet rich in nutrients.
• Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine.
• Stay hydrated to support your body’s natural processes.

NCBC Med-Laser also offers complementary services such as skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments to further enhance your body contouring results.
