The CoolSculpting Procedure
In 2024, CoolSculpting still reigns supreme in the realm of non-invasive body contouring. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery reports that, in 2023, CoolSculpting remained the most popular minimally-invasive fat reduction procedure in the US, confirming its place as the most trusted choice for patients seeking permanent fat loss for a boost in confidence and a slimmer silhouette.
With over 17 million CoolSculpting procedures performed globally since 2010, according to Allergan Aesthetics, it’s clear that CoolSculpting fat loss has offers many advantages. But why is CoolSculpting still the go-to for so many looking to sculpt their dream body?
Unlike its laser-based counterparts, CoolSculpting harnesses the power of controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. This painless, non-invasive method boasts impressive results, with studies from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery suggesting an average fat reduction of 23% in the treated area. That means that patients will see a noticeable difference in stubborn bulges, whether it’s your abdomen, thighs, or love handles.
So, if you’re looking for a safe, effective, and comfortable way to sculpt your body without surgery or downtime, CoolSculpting might just be the answer you’ve been searching for. At Better U Medical Spa, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve your body goals, and CoolSculpting remains a powerful tool in our arsenal. Let’s chat and see if this icy trendsetter can melt away your unwanted fat and reveal the sleek, confident you that’s been waiting beneath the surface!
With CoolSculpting, Dr. Gor’s patients can return to their normal lifestyle the same day they have the procedure because it’s non-invasive. So, there’s no anesthesia or surgery involved – not even a small incision.
The CoolSculpting procedure kills fat cells by freezing them, and the dead cells are then disposed of through the body’s natural processes.
CoolSculpting results typically begin to be seen within a few weeks due to the body’s natural healing process. However more noticeable results are experienced within 2 months. Altogether Dr. Gor’s patients can expect to see a 20 to 25% total reduction in the areas treated within 3 to 5 months.
BodyTite Liposuction
In contrast to CoolSculpting, BodyTite Liposuction is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that eliminates fat cells by sucking them out through multiple very small incisions. Only local anesthesia is required.
Minimally invasive BodyTite Liposuction is a radiofrequency-assisted lipo procedure that uses heat energy to comfortably “melt away” fat. The procedure achieves the same degree of fat loss as conventional liposuction, but without the extensive downtime, side effects, swelling, bruising and pain of traditional liposuction surgery!
And, as an added benefit, BodyTite Liposuction also tightens the skin – up to 40% more than the results of traditional lipo.
And, like CoolSculpting, BodyTite fat removal is a permanent fat loss procedure. Once the fat cells are removed using radiofrequency BodyTite lipo, they NEVER return. Only mild pain or discomfort typically follows BodyTite Liposuction that lasts a few days, and can generally be managed with over the counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen.
After BodyTite liposuction there is a few days of downtime, with no driving for 24 hours and typically no work for 2 or 3 days. Exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided for a week after liposuction. There is no downtime after CoolSculpting and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
A bit of swelling typically also accompanies liposuction – which takes a few weeks to subside. Liposuction patients usually must wear a compression garment full time for several days after the procedure – and then part time for 1several more weeks to help resolve any swelling. Liposuction patients will see complete results within 6 to 8 weeks, once the surgical site swelling is completely gone.
CoolSculpting vs. BodyTite Liposuction Fat Loss
While neither CoolSculpting nor Liposuction are remedies for obesity or poor muscle tone, both treatments are exceptional for permanently removing fat from areas of the body that defy diet and exercise. BodyTite Liposuction requires some recovery period while there is no downtime with CoolSculpting. Any soreness after CoolSculpting is typically reported to be mild and generally does not require medication. Additionally, because CoolSculpting is non-surgical, the cost of the procedure is substantially less than the cost of liposuction.
However, BodyTite Liposuction results are seen sooner and only require a single procedure – while the CoolSculpting process is more comfortable because it’s non-invasive, with fewer post-procedure side effects and no activity limitations.
