Dr. Byrd is pleased to introduce a new technology to her procedures for liposuction, CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting™ is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the non-invasive reduction of fat. This procedure is a clinically proven method for the selective reduction of body fat. The unwanted fat cells are gently cooled inducing a natural, controlled elimination. Results are permanent.
The cells in your body react to heat or cold at different temperature levels and CoolSculpting targets your fat cells at exactly the right temperature. By pressing the CoolScuplting applicator against the area to be treated, fat cells in the targeted area become cold enough to induce an inflammatory response which causes the body to naturally dispose of the damaged fat cells. Several weeks after the procedure this produces a significant improvement in the shape of the body in the treated area.
On average, each CoolSculpting procedure results in a 20% reduction of fat in the treated area. You will start to see results as soon as three weeks following treatment, but the most dramatic results will continue to be seen over a period of two to four months for most patients.
The CoolSculpting procedure is based on extensive scientific research that demonstrates that fat cells are more susceptible to extreme cold and are selectively, painlessly, and permanently destroyed. The process is known as Cryolipolysis™ (cold lipolysis). Starting several weeks after the procedure, the fat cells that were cooled during your treatment begin a process called apoptosis (natural cell death) and begin to shrink and disappear.
The most dramatic results will be seen in two to four months.
CoolSculpting procedures usually last one to two hours. You can have additional procedures for more pronounced effects if you wish and Dr. Byrd agrees.
There is no anesthesia needed or recovery time required from the CoolSculpting procedure. Your tissue is drawn into the cup shaped applicator with mild vacuum pressure. You might feel uncomfortable with the contact of the cold as the procedure begins. The discomfort usually goes away after the first few minutes. When the treatment is completed, you may return immediately to your normal activities, work, exercise. This is a zero downtime treatment.
Side effects are usually mild and are usually related to the cold of the device on your skin which usually subsides within 10 minutes. Your skin may be red for several minutes to several hours. You may also have temporary bruising, tingling, tenderness, temporary loss or reduction of sensation or cramping.
The best candidate for Cryolipolysis is someone in relatively good shape, but with modest areas of fat that they would like removed. Just as with any liposuction procedure, CoolSculpting is not an alternative to healthy diet or lifestyle.
