Coolsculpting
Non-surgical body contouring by fat freezing technology.
No downtime. No anaesthetic.
Here at Premier Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, we have a non-surgical body contouring option for you. Most of us will find at least one area on our body with stubborn fat deposits that we cannot move, despite eating well and staying fit. CoolSculpting is a safe, effective treatment that can help to eliminate this unwanted fat using cooling technology known as Cryolipolysis®.
CoolSculpting is a fat freezing technology that destroys fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. Once the fat cells are treated and destroyed, they are removed as your body processes the fat, removing the dead cells through a natural inflammatory clearing process.
During the procedure you may experience a mixture of sensations at the treatment site including pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, cramping and numbness. Post treatment it is common to expect some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, blanching, mild bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, aching, itching, altered skin sensitivity and tenderness.

If you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting®, you can be booked for treatment as per your individual treatment plan. Treatment time depends on the number of cycles that are required to treat the desired area, cycles range from 35- 60 minutes per application and most treatment areas require multiple cycles to holistically treat the fat pad.
On the day of treatment, there will be time allowed for marking up the areas, freeze protection preparation in addition to the cycle time. If multiple areas are being treated, you may be booked for several hours. As the name suggests, initial treatment can feel quite cool. During the procedure you may experience a mixture of sensations at the treatment site including pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, cramping and numbness. The device is secured to the area of the body that is being treated. While the cycle is underway, some like to have a rest, listen to music or enjoy another form of entertainment.
Post treatment it is common to expect some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, blanching, mild bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, aching, itching, altered skin sensitivity and tenderness. Essentially there is no downtime after this treatment, you can return to work or physical activity immediately after treatment. However, the level of sensitivity and tenderness may limit your activities for a couple of days after treatment.
Most patients see results between 2 and 6 months following treatment. Some may start to see results after just a few weeks. Your body will still continue to remove the destroyed fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
CoolSculpting® is not for everyone. You should not have the treatment if you suffer from cryoglobulinaemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria. Other health factors must also be taken into consideration such as recent surgery, pre-existing hernia or some sensitivities and allergies.
Rare side effects may occur. CoolSculpting® may cause visible enlargement (paradoxical adipose hyperplasia) to the treated area which may develop two to five months after treatment and requires surgical intervention for correction. There is also a chance of experiencing late onset pain, freeze burn, vasovagal symptoms, subcutaneous induration/hardened tissue, hyperpigmentation and hernia may also occur.
As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if the CoolSculpting® procedure is right for you.
CoolSculpting® is priced per cycle of treatment starting at $699. Majority of people will require several cycles per treatment session and also 2+ treatment sessions. Therefore, if you are interested in CoolSculpting® treatment, it is recommended that you book in for a complimentary consultation to be guided by a trained staff member and receive a quote with your individual treatment plan.
