Get Ready to Reveal Your Best Body This Year with CoolSculpting

For bears, winter is a great time to lose weight. After an autumn spent packing on the extra pounds, a bear can simply curl up inside its den and snooze for a few months, emerging in the spring slimmer and sleeker.

Sadly for people, we can’t sleep away excess pounds. But we do have one thing in common with bears: Winter is still a great time to slim down in time for spring, thanks to the advanced CoolSculpting® system.

At Vivash Medspa, our team offers customized therapy with CoolSculpting, which freezes fat and restores slimmer contours. Here, you can learn how CoolSculpting works and why now is the best time to begin treatment.

The magic of cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis literally means “freezing fat,” and while it may not be magic, it is scientifically proven and effective in getting rid of stubborn fat deposits. Treatment is entirely noninvasive and painless, so there’s no need for anesthesia.

CoolSculpting uses focused “cold energy” to target fat cells that won’t respond to diet and exercise. Fat cells are especially sensitive to cold—more sensitive than other cells. That added sensitivity means that while CoolSculpting eliminates fat, it doesn’t harm the surrounding tissue.

When fat cells absorb cold energy, the cell walls become brittle, eventually breaking down. Afterward, the resulting fatty debris is removed and eliminated by your body’s natural waste disposal processes.

What to expect during treatment

CoolSculpting uses a handheld applicator to apply cold energy through your skin during a simple, in-office treatment. We use a variety of applicators matched to the area being treated for the best possible results. 

Before treatment, we protect your skin with a special gel pad and then place the applicator on top. During treatment, gentle suction pulls the skin upward against the applicator, helping the cold energy penetrate more effectively. 

While the suction may initially cause discomfort, the cooling temperature quickly numbs your skin to keep you comfortable. You can relax and read, listen to music, or use your phone or computer throughout your session. Most treatments take about an hour, and afterward, there’s no downtime, although you might have some mild, temporary soreness near the treatment area.

Why now is the best time to schedule your treatment

CoolSculpting can be a great choice any time of the year, but scheduling treatment now means your body will be ready once the warm summer weather finally returns to New York. 

Remember, CoolSculpting breaks down fat so your body can dispose of it. This process can take several weeks. Scheduling now gives your treatment time to work, revealing slimmer contours over the following months.

Scheduling now also means you’ll have time for follow-up treatments focused on your goals. While you can definitely see results with a single treatment, many people find that 2-4 treatment sessions give them the best results. Treatments need to be spaced several weeks apart, another reason wintertime treatments are ideal for warm-weather results.

This year, prioritize your own goals

Many of us spend a lot of time focusing on the goals of others, including family members, friends, and bosses. This year, CoolSculpting can help you do something nice for yourself.
