Fat Reduction

Conveniently located to serve Orange County

There are many ways to permanently remove fat now days. At Platinum Medical Spa we use 2 different modalities, CoolSculpting and Juveshape Ultra.

With over 6 million treatments performed worldwide, CoolSculpting is considered to be the #1 noninvasive body contouring treatment. If you are considering fat freezing to trim and tone your body, continue reading for 9 facts about CoolSculpting you should know.

1. COOLSCULPTING IS NONINVASIVE AND NONSURGICAL

Unlike liposuction, fat freezing with CoolSculpting Reston targets and eliminates stubborn fat bulges without surgery, incisions, or anesthesia. In fact, the procedure is completely noninvasive and relies on several uniquely-shaped applicators to deliver controlled cooling, which selectively destroy fat cells without affecting skin or surrounding structures.

2. YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN 1 FAT FREEZING TREATMENT

Depending on individual concerns and goals, you may need 1-3 treatments to achieve optimal outcomes. That being said, most patients can see visible improvement following their first session.

3. RESULTS ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE

During the fat freezing procedure, a patented cooling technology targets fat cells beneath the skin and causes them to undergo apoptosis (natural cell death). The destroyed fat cells are then gradually cleared from the body in the coming weeks and months.

Accordingly, CoolSculpting results begin to emerge around 4-6 weeks and peak after 12 weeks.

4. FAT FREEZING CAN ELIMINATE UP TO 24% OF FAT

CoolSculpting is the most studied noninvasive body contouring treatment and clinically-proven to eliminate up to 24% of subcutaneous fat following one treatment. With that being said, results can vary from patient to patient and a customized approach is essential to produce maximum benefits.

5. THE TREATMENT USES CRYOLIPOLYSIS TO DESTROY FAT CELLS

CoolSculpting cools fatty tissue to as low as 4 degrees Celsius in order to freeze and destroy fat cells. This process is known as cryolipolysis.

6. COOLSCULPTING ISN’T A WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENT

Fat freezing with CoolSculpting Reston is designed to remove localized fat deposits and produce circumferential reduction in the treatment area. So, while patients will look slimmer and their clothes will fit better, they will not lose weight.

7. FAT REDUCTION IS PERMANENT

While losing weight simply shrinks fat cells, CoolSculpting destroys and eliminates fat cells from the body. This means that fat reduction is permanent.

Patients can best maintain results through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

8. COOLSCULPTING IS A ZERO-DOWNTIME PROCEDURE

Immediately after a CoolSculpting treatment, the area may be slightly red, tender, swollen, and/or numb. However, these effects are temporary and mild and resolve on their own without any disruption to normal functioning.

Accordingly, CoolSculpting doesn’t require any recovery and patients are free to go about their day as they normally would.

9. YOU CAN TREAT ALMOST ANY PART OF THE BODY

CoolSculpting is an excellent nonsurgical fat removal option for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, banana roll, upper arms, back, double chin, and under the jawline.

Ultrasound Fat Reduction

The advantages of using Ultrasound versus other techniques are many. Unlike surgical liposuction which requires anesthesia and surgical risk, results completely depend on the skill of the surgeon. Surgical risk of infection, clots, severe bruising, or neurologic damage are possible with surgical liposuction.

How Does Ultrasound Fat Reduction Work?

Ultrasound technology works by utilizing ultrasonic vibrations to reduce cellulite and fat. The vibrations from this type of energy cause pressure on fat cells, breaking them down into liquid form. The dead fat cells will then be naturally filtered out of the body.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ultrasound Fat Reduction?

The best candidates for Ultrasound fat reduction treatment are healthy individuals who want to reduce fat without undergoing surgery. No incisions are needed for this treatment.
Individuals who are considering this treatment must have a BMI of 30 or less. This treatment is not designed as a shortcut for weight loss. It can only contour smaller areas of excess stubborn fat.

Ultrasound fat reduction is best for people with realistic appearance goals and a strong commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and proper nutrition.

Ultrasound fat reduction is not recommended for people with pacemakers.

How Long Does Ultrasound Fat Reduction Last?

The results of Ultrasound fat reduction are permanent if regular exercise and healthy nutrition are sustained. Cellulite and fat loss should be visible in 6 to 12 weeks. To achieve the full benefits of this treatment, we may recommend 1 to 3 sessions.
