Coolsculpting (Perfecting Body Contour using Fat Freezing Technique)

· Those who need an effective coolsculpting in Malaysia.
· Those with stubborn fat cells.
· Those who wish to shape and contour their body by removing excess bulging fat.
· Those who wish to remove body fat from specific areas of the body in the safest way possible.

Coolsculpting is a treatment designed for those who need to lose stubborn fat that they could not get rid of through diet and exercise. It is a non-invasive procedure that has been cleared by the FDA to reduce fat through a process called cryolipolysis. Coolsculpting uses a fat freezing technology which is specially designed to control target cooling areas and eliminate your fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Freezing will be applied at temperature as low as -13°C to bind and get rid of accumulated stubborn fat. For safety, the machine has a Freeze Detect System which monitors heat extraction. The fat will then disappear through the body's natural detoxification system and the body will continue to get rid of fat cells up to 6 months after the treatment.

The human body is mainly made up of water - cells, tissues, blood and dermis are filled with water. But fat cells are different, they are rich in oil. When oil and water are frozen at the same time, oil will freeze and solidify before water.

So in Coolsculpting process, the difference in freezing point is used to coagulate only fats, crystallizing the fat cells and destroying them. Meanwhile, the skin will only feel cool and the blood flow will not be affected.

1. A vacuum applicator will be placed on the skin to bring the roll of fat into contact with the cooling panels.
2. As the applicator works, patient may feel an intense cool sensation for a few minutes before it dissipates. While the fats are broken down in the process, patient can enjoy some leisure activities like reading, watching video or just take a nap.

'Suction' and 'Cycles' are the 2 terminologies often associated with coolsculpting. To understand coolsculpting better, here is the meaning behind the 2 words:

<Suction>
In order for Coolsculpting to work, the body fat needs to be 'vacuumed' into the applicator. Most applicators rely on its suction power to pull the treated area away from the body to get it into contact with the cooling panels. One applicator could be designed for denser areas of fat that are difficult to be suctioned, while a different applicator may not have suction at all to treat easier areas.

<Cycles>
Coolsculpting applicators use 1 cycle per area. Therefore, treating both sides of the body e.g both sides of the flanks is considered 2 cycles. This is how the cost of Coolsculpting is determined for patients.

<CoolCurve>
It has suction feature, and has a cup design to be placed on areas like arms, tummy, inner thigh and love handles.

<CoolCore>
This applicator has suction feature. Best used for contour of abdomen - upper and lower part.

<CoolFit>
CoolFit has suction power, and can treat vertical areas of body fat, like inner thighs and arms.

<CoolAdvantage >
This is a large applicator, and has a suction power. It is mostly used on the lower abdomen like tummy, love handles and inner thighs.

<CoolSmooth>
This does not have suction power, and can be used to treat dense areas fat of the body, or the areas that cannot be pinched, like the outer thighs, or can also be used on the abdomen.

<CoolMini>
This miniature applicator can treat small areas of fat, like double chin, knee, or armpit bulges.

<Cool Max>
Used mostly for lower abdomens like inner thigh, flanks, upper flanks.

Although both Coolsculpting and Liposuction help to remove excess fat in certain areas of the body, they are different:

· Liposuction is a surgical procedure which requires anesthesia. Coolsculpting is not a surgical procedure.

· Liposuction involves suctioning out fat from targeted areas and requires around 2 weeks of recovery. Coolsculpting procedure has no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities right after the procedure.

<Advantages>
· Painless
· No downtime
· Helps get rid of unwanted bulges
· Tones and shapes the body
· Permanent fat removal, no risk of the fats returning at the same area

<Limitations>
· Not suitable for those who are severely overweight
· Not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding

Q1: When will I start see the results?
A1: Unlike liposuction, there won't be immediate results. You will start to see some changes in about 1 month after the treatment. Dramatic results will take around 2 months to appear, but your body will continue eliminating the fat cells for up to 6 months after the treatment.

Q2: How many treatments are necessary?
A2: Results can be seen after just 1 treatment. But some may need a few more to reach their specific goals. In 1 treatment, up to 20% of fat reduction can be achieved, hence the number of treatments largely depends on your condition. Our affiliated specialists will can advice you on this.

Q3: Will I be exposed to risk?
A3: Side effects like scarring, frostbites, dizziness and few others are very rare and minor.

Q4: Who should not undergo coolsculpting?
A4: Those who are pregnant or are attempting to become pregnant are not suitable for coolsculpting. Moreover, those with inflammatory skin conditions, cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinemia and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should avoid coolsculpting.

Q5: Is coolsculpting painful?
A5: It is relatively painless as this procedure does not involve any incision. In fact, you can straight away enjoy your daily life routine after the treatment.

Q6: How long will the results last?
A6: Coolsculpting eliminates fat cells permanently, meaning it freezes fat in the treated area for good. If you gain weight after coolsculpting, you will most likely to not have the same fat buildup in the treated area. However, extreme weight gain can cause nearby fat cells around the treated area to 'spread' into the vacant area, hence why it's important to maintain a healthy weight after the treatment.
