CoolSculpting in Ann Arbor, MI

As we age, experience weight fluctuations, or deal with genetics, stubborn fat can accumulate in areas such as the waist, flanks, upper arms, and thighs. Despite a healthy diet and regular exercise, certain pockets of fat can be difficult to reduce. Traditionally, liposuction was the only effective option for body contouring. However, not everyone is ready for a semi-invasive surgical procedure. Thankfully, Dr. Pramit Malhotra and the team at Ann Arbor Medical Spa offer CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat reduction solution. CoolSculpting has been performed over 4 million times worldwide, offering patients a safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted fat.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is an innovative fat-reduction technique that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells in targeted areas. This non-invasive treatment can provide excellent results without the need for surgery, extended recovery, or the risks associated with liposuction. CoolSculpting takes less than an hour per treatment area and is ideal for contouring and sculpting stubborn fat deposits. While CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss solution, it helps patients who are close to their ideal weight address fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Areas CoolSculpting can treat include the following:

  • Flanks (Love Handles)
  • Abdomen (Muffin Top)
  • Back Rolls (Bra Roll Bulge)
  • Thighs (Inner & Outer)
  • Banana Rolls (Lower Buttocks)
  • Chin

The FDA approves CoolSculpting for specific areas, and the list of treatable areas may evolve as new advancements are made.

The Science Behind CoolSculpting

Approved by the FDA in 2010, CoolSculpting utilizes a process called Cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. The idea for Cryolipolysis was discovered by Harvard scientists who noted that children eating popsicles to reduce pain experienced fat loss in their cheeks. The same principle is used in CoolSculpting to freeze fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. Specially designed applicators allow for precise treatment and optimal results, like the CoolMini for smaller areas and the CoolSmooth Pro for non-pinchable fat. Patients typically see a 20-25% reduction in fat in treated areas over the course of a few months.

About the CoolSculpting Procedure

Our CoolSculpting treatments are performed in private, comfortable rooms. Each session takes approximately 45-60 minutes per applicator. Once the treatment area is determined, the CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the skin, and cooling is initiated. No anesthesia is needed, and most patients report only mild cold sensations that subside as the area numbs. During treatment, patients can relax, use their phones, watch a movie, or even take a nap. After the procedure, mild numbness or tingling is common as the tissue warms.

Recovery and Results

There is no required downtime after CoolSculpting, and patients can resume normal activities, including work and exercise, immediately after treatment. Results from CoolSculpting are not immediate. Over the next two to three months, as the body naturally processes and eliminates the damaged fat cells, patients will see noticeable changes. The treated areas will become slimmer and more sculpted, with a typical reduction of 20-25% in fat volume. If further fat reduction is desired, additional sessions can be scheduled after three months.
