More and more, our patients here in Augusta prefer a procedure that doesn’t necessarily mean plastic surgery. While all non-surgical procedures have seen a surge in popularity, CoolSculpting stands out the most. As we look at the reasons for the sudden rise in non-surgical enhancement, it makes sense that CoolSculpting is so popular right now—fat reduction without surgery sounds almost too good to be true. Fortunately, its not!
What Is the Goal of CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting’s patented technology helps Dr. Austin’s patients get rid of specific pockets of unwanted fat. Utilizing a controlled freezing, CoolSculpting destroys fat cells to slim the treated area by up to 25 percent.
Do You Go “Under The Knife” with CoolSculpting?
No, unlike other forms of fat reduction such as liposuction, CoolSculpting is 100 percent non-surgical. This means there are no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. In fact, you can be awake during the hour-long treatment—although some of Dr. Austin’s patients take this opportunity to sneak in a nap!
Does CoolSculpting Hurt?
While the answer to this question really depends on your pain tolerance, most of our patients find CoolSculpting to be relatively comfortable. The first 5 to 15 minutes can be slightly irritating as your body adjusts to the treatment. As your body adjusts to the cool sensation, you should be able to relax and enjoy.
How Long Is the Recovery After CoolSculpting?
With CoolSculpting, there is not a traditional recovery period. Many of our patients find that they can easily return to their daily activities as soon as they leave our Augusta practice. There is a chance you will be sore (similar to afhttps://seaplasticsurgery.com/contactter an intense workout) and experience light bruising.
