CoolSculpting® in Toms River, NJ

This procedure eliminates the fat cells in the treated area. This means your body will not be able to store as much fat in the area as before, although other fat cells in the area will still be able to grow.

Although most patients do not report feelings of excessive pain, individuals may experience some degree of stinging or pinching at the beginning of the CoolSculpting treatment. As the targeted area gradually becomes numb with the cooling technique, these sensations usually fade quickly, and patients can relax for the duration of the treatment. It is common for patients to be able to resume normal activities shortly after leaving the office once their CoolSculpting is complete.

Due to the number of special applicators now available—such as the CoolMini™ applicator for double chin reduction— CoolSculpting can be used to diminish fat and improve the contour of numerous regions of the body, including:

• Neck and under-chin
• Abdomen
• Chest
• Upper back
• Arms
• Love handles
• Flanks
• Muffin tops
• Hips
• Inner and outer thighs
• Knees

With its non-invasive methodology, CoolSculpting is able to provide excess fat reduction treatment without many of the inherent risks associated with surgery and general anesthesia. However, that does not mean that CoolSculpting is completely without risk, and individuals should always seek an experienced and highly qualified CoolSculpting provider to perform their procedure. This will maximize the chances that the treatment is administered by a provider who takes the proper precautions and has the necessary skills and training to achieve an optimal, beautifully contoured result. Possible side effects of CoolSculpting include scarring, skin discoloration, skin sensitivities, and frostbite; however, these side effects are rare, and the risk of their potential occurrence can be minimized when performed by skilled professionals, such as the team at Belladerma Med Spa.

Once the CoolSculpting treatment is complete and the targeted fat cells have filtered out of the body, they should be permanently expunged and cannot grow back. This is only applicable to those specifically treated fat cells – the surrounding cells can expand in size as a reaction to weight gain or weight fluctuations. Following the appropriate post-treatment instructions provided by your CoolSculpting specialist can extend the final result for many years to come and possibly a lifetime. Maintenance recommendations include a healthy lifestyle, nutritious diet, regular exercise, and limitation of excessive weight fluctuations over time.

Gynecomastia is a condition that leads to an increased amount of breast tissue (excess fat or glandular tissue) in men. If the patient has a mild amount of excess fatty tissue in the breasts, CoolSculpting may be a beneficial solution. For gynecomastia cases in which there is excess glandular tissue, it will likely be advised to seek an alternative procedure, such as male breast reduction, which can extract excess glandular tissue and/or utilize liposuction in cases of severe excess fat in the breasts. It is best to receive a full evaluation and consultation with an expert provider to determine which treatment is best.

CoolSculpting is an elective cosmetic procedure, so it is likely not covered by health insurance providers. During the initial consultation, we will review all costs as well as convenient payment and third-party financing options available for qualified candidates that can help bring CoolSculpting treatment into your budget.

CoolSculpting and liposuction are both body contouring treatments that can be very effective for reducing excess fat that has collected in specific body regions; however, these procedures are quite distinct from one another in many ways. For instance: CoolSculpting involves no surgery, no anesthesia, and no injections of any kind. Additionally, patients who undergo CoolSculpting typically do not need a period of downtime. By contrast, liposuction is a surgical procedure that will necessitate a recovery period. With that in mind, liposuction is capable of effectively treating areas of excess fat that are quite large and severe, whereas CoolSculpting can only be effective for fat pockets that are mild to moderate in nature.

One of the most prominent benefits of CoolSculpting treatment is that it typically requires no recovery time following the procedure. As noted in the section above, most patients who undergo CoolSculpting are able to go right back to their regular routines as soon as they leave our office. While there will likely be some irritation and bruising in the treatment areas, these effects should fade within a few days.

Within two to four months after treatment, CoolSculpting patients should notice improved contours and enhanced curves as the body removes excess fat cells. In some instances, the slimming effects can continue to be observed for at least six months. Each CoolSculpting session can reduce fat by approximately 20–25 percent, so most patients are able to achieve an ideal outcome after a single procedure. If additional fat reduction is needed or desired, however, supplemental treatments can be scheduled after about three to four months to provide enough time for the body to fully break down and eliminate fat in the area(s) targeted during the initial procedure. In order to maintain optimal results, our team recommends consuming a well-rounded diet and exercising on a consistent basis to help keep the body lean and toned.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CoolSculpting is considered a very safe fat reduction procedure. The most common side effects experienced by patients include redness, tingling, bruising, and/or itching in the targeted area(s), though these symptoms are temporary and should lessen over the course of a few days until fully resolved.

CoolSculpting prices are influenced by several different components, such as the quantity of areas being targeted, the skill and experience of the provider, where the practice is geographically located, and more. At Belladerma, the cost of CoolSculpting packages begins at $750 per treatment region.
