While many patients see results after a single CoolSculpting Elite procedure, most patients opt for additional treatments to achieve optimal results. The  number of procedures needed depends on the treatment area and the patient’s individual response to cooling therapy. During your free consultation with Mi Bella Aesthetics of Ohio, we will listen to your aesthetic goals and consult you on the number of procedures required to reach your objective.

The CoolSculpting machine is equipped with numerous applicators that differ in shape and size. These applicators can treat nearly any bulge found on the body. Typical treatment applications include Cold Sculpting:

• The abdomen to reduce belly fat
• The flanks to reduce love handles and hip fat
• The submental region to reduce neck fat and double chins
• Below the buttocks
• the upper legs to reduce inner and outer thigh fat
• Upper arm fat
• Armpit fat to reduce bra bulge
• Back fat

CoolSculpting results appear gradually. Some patients see visible reductions in fat within six weeks after their treatment. However, the majority of patients require 8 to 12 weeks before enjoying their outcomes. Results resemble natural weight loss. Moreover, longitudinal studies prove effects to be very long-lasting, if not indefinite. ³

This body contouring treatment is versatile and highly customizable. Each treatment is specifically tailored to the body, needs, and aesthetic goals of the patient. Therefore, the final cost of a CoolSculpting Elite treatment plan is variable per patient. Factors affecting prices include size of area being treated, the type of applicator used during treatment, the number of freezing treatments required, and more. At your free consultation with Mi Bella Aesthetics of Ohio, we while cover CoolSculpting Elite prices in detail. We can also tailor a treatment plan that meets your needs while matching your budget.

CoolSculpting is FDA cleared and proven safe and effective in numerous scientific studies. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are certain risks involved. The most common side effects include redness, bruising, tenderness, and swelling. These side effects are isolated to the treatment area, are mild, and resolve themselves within one to two weeks. The side effects indicate an immune response and suggest the body is hard at work removing and disposing of the frozen fat cells.

Several scientific studies demonstrate the safety and efficacy of cryolipolysis (the fat freezing process.) Notable CoolSculpting reviews published in peer-reviewed journals include:

A study published in Dermatological Surgery concluded: “Cryolipolysis was shown to reduce subcutaneous fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after one treatment.”¹

A study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology which reported that “86% of patients noted “visible reductions” in fat from the abdomen, back, and flanks.” The study also found “82% of patients would recommend the cryolipolysis procedure to a friend.” ² It concluded, “Cryolipolysis is considered to be both safe and efficient with a high patient satisfaction rate.”²

A longitudinal study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology demonstrated that not only does CoolSculpting work but also that “Local reductions in fat have significant longevity…suggest[ing] results from Cryolipolysis may be very long-lasting.”³
