    How many times do you have to do CoolSculpting?

    How many times do you have to do CoolSculpting? | Los Angeles | EncinoCoolSculpting refers to a non-invasive cosmetic med spa procedure to achieve enhanced body contours. In this procedure, fat cells are frozen and gradually killed off to create a sleeker, more sculpted appearance. The remarkable part is that there is no involvement of needles, surgical scalpel, or anesthesia. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

    How many Treatment sessions are Necessary?

    The treatment provider will devise a comprehensive CoolSculpting fat reduction plan for the patient. In general, a CoolSculpting treatment site is roughly the size of the hand. Therefore, one love handle requires one treatment, two love handles require two treatments, and the lower abdomen necessitates two treatment sessions as well. One CoolSculpting treatment session usually eliminates 20 to 25 percent of the fat that it targets. Multiple treatments in the same area can eliminate up to 50 percent of the targeted fat.    

    A Single Coolsculpting Treatment May Be All You Need

    CoolSculpting med spa treatment is not designed to help patients lose weight. But it can enhance the body shape making it appear visibly slimmer. The reason for this is that a 20 to 25 percent fat reduction can have a massive effect on the appearance of stubborn bulges. However, it is not as effective in more substantial areas of fat.    

    Multiple Treatments for Stubborn Fat

    If the patient has a small amount of stubborn fat, a single round of CoolSculpting can effectively address the issue. But to slim a larger area or an area with more fat on the body, the patient will require multiple treatments. Most patients achieve desirable outcomes after two sessions of the CoolSculpting procedure. The patient may experience dramatic improvements in their physical appearance after two to three procedures. Theoretically, there is no limit on the number of procedures that a patient can undergo. CoolSculpting is a safe procedure that creates a natural body response to fat elimination. Each treatment will be undertaken several months apart. This will allow the body sufficient time to react normally as well as expel the fat cells in an organic manner. In general, it’s astute to wait at least 30 days prior to starting a new CoolSculpting session, with four months being optimal. Patients should ensure that they are healthy prior to each round of treatment. In case they have undergone previous treatments, they should wait to treat the area again to make sure all possible side-effects have resolved.  

    Treatments are as Unique as Your Body

    There is no sure way to establish exactly how many rounds of treatment a patient will need. In general, patients within 20 to 30 pounds of their ideal weight range, and particular problem areas should not need more than one to two treatments. Patients are typically able to completely transform their body shape after three treatment sessions. However, it is vital to maintain reasonable expectations. Ideally, patients should wait for four entire months following their procedure before seeking a second or third round of treatment. CoolSculpting relies on the body's own ability to eliminate fat cells. For this reason, it may take time for noticeable results to become apparent.    

    Giving it Another Shot

    Patients should not get frustrated by waiting for their desired results to materialize. If they do not see the expected results four about months after their procedure, they may consider seeking a second round of treatment.

    Is CoolSculpting permanent?

    Is CoolSculpting permanent? | Los Angeles | San Fernando | CalabasasThe patient’s new physique will be more or less permanent after CoolSculpting body contouring med spa treatment. In fact, the patient’s body shape will simply become a slightly larger version of their pre-treatment figure, even if they put on a moderate amount of weight following the procedure. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

    Permanent Fat Cell Reduction

    The fat cells in the area treated with CoolSculpting are eliminated permanently, and these dead fat cells will not return. The adult body cannot generate new fat cells, even if the individual gains a moderate amount of weight. Therefore, the fat cells eliminated by liposuction are gone for good. The body contouring effects of CoolSculpting will be noticeable until the patient does not gain an excessive amount of weight. But, it is vital for patients to understand that the fat cells that remain in the treated site after CoolSculpting can grow bigger if they put on a large amount of body weight, Over time, the patient will experience changes to their physique due to the natural process of aging. However, they can continue to enjoy the cosmetic benefits of CoolSculpting as long as they follow a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen.  

    What Becomes of the Fat Cells and Can They Re-Grow?

    Once fat cells are removed from the adult body via CoolSculpting, they cannot re-grow. Patients can be assured that these fat cells cannot return. The body contouring advantages of liposuction are permanent. However, an increase in fat may occur with significant weight gain. CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells from the treated sites and offers the benefits of permanent contours, even with moderate weight gain. However, the fat cells remaining in the treated area can increase in size, which may cause the treated area to appear larger. Patients should follow a balanced diet and exercise plan to make sure that the results of their CoolSculpting med spa treatment sustain.  

    Watch What You Eat

    Patients can maintain their sleeker post-liposuction body shape in the following ways:
    • Limit the consumption of carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, and bread
    • Eliminate sugar and unhealthy fats such as vegetable oil
    • Include sufficient amounts of healthy vegetables in their diet
    • Consume proteins such as pork, beef, and fish
    • Drink plenty of water
    • Do not skip meals and have a healthy breakfast every day
    Restricting carbohydrates in the diet is an effective method for many patients to reduce weight. In addition, cutting down on sugars, such as foods with a high glycemic index, can help reduce and maintain the body weight in the long-run. Avoiding starches and food items such as muffins, bagels, cereal, crackers, and bread also helps CoolSculpting candidates to maintain their weight. It is also a good idea to include large amounts of salad greens in the diet.    

    Make sure you get Sufficient Sleep

    According to studies, patients with regular sleep habits have a lower percentage of body fat compared to those with erratic sleep cycles. Research indicates that a ninety-minute variation in the sleep duration can have a profound effect on the amount of fat that a body stores. Women who sleep for under 6 ½ hours or more than 8 ½ hours tend to have a higher percentage of body fat, while those who lie between these metrics fare better on fat indexes.

    Do you lose weight when you do CoolSculpting?

    Do you lose weight when you do CoolSculpting? | Los Angeles | EncinoOver the past one decade, CoolSculpting has ranked among the more popular non-surgical body contouring med spa procedures in the United States.  

    A Common Focus

    This procedure is designed to enhance the body contours in targeted areas of the body by removing excess fatty deposits which are resistant to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is based on a unique cooling process to accomplish fat loss with no involvement of incisions, cuts, injections, or medicines. Patients commonly ask whether CoolSculpting can help them lose weight, and how much. During the pre-op consultation, the patient should unhesitatingly ask such questions and make a well-considered decision after attaining complete clarity on the potential results of CoolSculpting. A dedicated surgeon will provide the patient with in-depth information on these concerns to allow them to make a judicious choice. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

    Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss Procedures

    Many patients are unclear about the difference between fat loss and weight loss procedures. Fat loss procedures help eliminate stubborn fat pockets in precise areas of the body which may be contributing to unattractive contours. This can adversely impact the overall body shape. Weight loss procedures, on the other hand, are meant to help overweight or obese patients shed weight. These patients may be experiencing excessive weight-related medical issues such as hypertension or diabetes. Bariatric surgery is a proven medical solution for patients who need to lose a substantial amount of body weight. On the other hand, CoolSculpting is a fat loss procedure that targets one or more body areas to enhance body contours. Advanced cooling technology has made it possible for CoolSculpting to attain body sculpting in a non-surgical manner. Unlike weight loss procedures, it is not necessary for patients to follow a major diet plan.  

    CoolSculpting Makes You Appear Slimmer  

    CoolSculpting med spa treatment reshapes the body through fat loss. However, it is not a weight-loss procedure. Weight-loss may be comparatively easier to accomplish through diet and exercise relative to eliminating stubborn fat pockets in specific sites. CoolSculpting improves the contours of the body, and this may help a person appear naturally slimmer and create the illusion of weight loss, although it is actually the loss of unwanted fat cells.  

    Fat Loss is Permanent

    While patients should not expect substantial weight loss with CoolSculpting, they can be assured that their fatty deposits will be gone for good. The expelled fat cells cannot re-grow in an adult body. However, if the patient puts on more weight over the years, their physique may become a larger version of their new body shape achieved through CoolSculpting.  

    Exercising is Vital

    This happens when the fat cells that remain in the body grow bigger by accumulating more fat as the patient gains weight. To prevent this, the patient should follow a well-balanced diet and regular exercise regimen. Doing so will help maintain the results of their CoolSculpting procedure in the long-run. Additionally, the natural process of aging will also create changes in the patient’s body shape over the years. Regardless, patients can be assured that the aesthetic enhancements accomplished with CoolSculpting will sustain as long as they follow a healthy lifestyle.

    Coolsculpting vs. Lipo

    Coolsculpting vs. Lipo | Los Angeles | Sherman Oaks | San FernandoLiposuction plastic surgery is an effective solution to eliminate excessive and stubborn fatty deposits from specific areas of the body. On the other hand, these undesirable fatty pockets can be removed in an entirely non-surgical way with CoolSculpting med spa treatment. Each of these procedures has its strengths and limitations, and both can effectively remove stubborn fat pockets. The surgeon will explain both of these procedures to the patient to enable them to make a suitable choice depending on their unique needs. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

    Liposuction

    Liposuction is the second most sought-after procedure in the United States today after breast augmentation. The procedure can be performed using the advanced tumescent liposuction technique, which involves only local anesthetic. This procedure commences with the surgeon placing tiny incisions in the treatment areas. The patient receives IV fluid and a local anesthetic to numb the region and help achieve predictable fat removal outcomes. The surgeon injects the necessary quantity of fluid and then inserts a narrow cannula through the incisions and commences the process of suction. Once the fat removal is complete, the surgeon will close the incisions. A majority of patients will be able to resume their routine activities in around one week.  

    CoolSculpting

    CoolSculpting is a cutting-edge and entirely non-surgical fat reduction treatment which received FDA-clearance in 2010. It is suitable for individuals seeking to reduce localized fatty pockets in a non-invasive manner. CoolSculpting med spa procedure is based on an innovative cooling process that freezes targeted fat and removes it from the treated sites in a natural way. The provider will demarcate the treatment site for the precise placement of the applicator. They will then place a transparent gel pad to prevent any damage to the adjacent normal tissue. Subsequently, the provider will place the applicator head on the treatment area and initiate the vacuum process. The undesirable fat deposits will be suctioned into a cup, and the cooling panel will lead to the slow freezing 0f the fat cells. The treated fat cells will begin to disintegrate and will be eliminated from the body through natural processes after being frozen. Noticeably slimmer contours will be visible over the next several weeks and months.
