Let’s be honest. Most of us have excess fat somewhere in our bodies. It’s normal. However, some areas can be stubborn. For men and women who are more inclined to store fat, especially with age, CoolSculpting, sometimes called the “lunchtime lipo,” has proved effective at stimulating fat loss—without surgery or downtime.

CoolSculpting is an advanced body contouring procedure, and its most significant benefit is that it works without damaging the delicate skin tissue in the surrounding areas. CoolSculpting permanently reduces fatty bulges through a process called cryolipolysis—fat freezing. The body then gradually disposes of the fat cells over several weeks, allowing the treated area to slim down.

Most people start to see changes within four to eight weeks, with full results by week 12. In some cases, multiple treatments may be needed to achieve targeted results. At our CoolSculpting clinic in Vancouver, most patients typically undergo two or three rounds of treatment per area. Studies show a CoolSculpting treatment delivers about a 25% reduction in fat cells in treated areas, although results vary. It’s an excellent treatment for people who are close to their ideal body weight and trying to sculpt one or two problem areas resistant to diet and exercise.

We use a combination of specific applicators and a gel pad to protect the skin. The ideal candidate is someone with pinchable areas. As a CoolSculpting clinic in Vancouver, we can treat any area between the neck and knees. Depending on the treatment area, the process takes about 30-45 minutes for each application.

CoolSculpting is a reasonably comfortable, well-tolerated procedure for most clients. The device initially feels cold on the skin, but after a few minutes, the sensation subsides. Once the treatment is done, Dr. Roz Kamani massages the area to break up the fat cells. There may be a bit of redness and bruising, but this dissipates after a few days. 

With no surgery, downtime, and minimal discomfort, CoolSculpting is the gold standard in non-invasive fat reduction. It’s a quick, effective way to treat stubborn pockets of fat resistant to a healthy diet and exercise and achieve a more shapely, streamlined silhouette.
