Could Cool Sculpting be Right for YOU? the alternative to lipsuction




Could Cool Sculpting be Right for YOU?

Are there areas of your body that seem to hang onto fat, no matter what exercise or diet you try?  Do you have chubby knees?  Is there fat on your abdomen, sides, thighs, or upper arms that just refuses to go away?  If so, you may want to consider having a cosmetic procedure to help you eliminate this problem.

It might be that Dr. Turowski at his Chicago Cosmetic Surgery Center located on the North Shore Chicago can use the non-invasive technique known as Cool Sculpting to help you remove some of this fat giving your body the contours you really want. With Cool Sculpting there is no need for you to experience the needles or anesthesia connected with typical liposuction or the recovery time that’s a natural part of cosmetic surgery.

Cool Sculpting is an amazing new way to reduce fat and to enhance the contours of your body without liposuction and without surgery. Cool Sculpting fat reduction has been approved and in use in Europe and Canada for years, and also has  been approved by the FDA for use here in the United States.

How does Cool Sculpting Work?

During the Cool Sculpting procedure you will be asked to sit in a chair while a technician applies plastic plates to the target area – no anesthesia is used, nor is it needed.  The cooling apparatus surface is lowered to a very cold temperature above freezing.  This is a temperature that destroys fat cells while leaving all other cells, such as those of your skin, unharmed.

Within a few days after treatment, the fat cells begin to shrink and are then absorbed by the body and removed as part of the metabolic process.  Within two to four months, patients see a reduction of fat in the targeted area and a shapelier contour.

The reason Cool Sculpting can work safely is that fat cells are of a different nature than the other cells of the body, such as the cells that make up your skin, tendons and muscle.  While the cold temperatures produced in Cool Sculpting kills the fatty tissue, that same temperature has no lasting adverse effect on the skin.


Who is less likely to benefit from Cool Sculpting?

Cool Sculpting is not intended for patients who are seriously obese.  In this situation the patient would need to consult with Dr. Turowski to see what other procedure he would recommend.


Who is Cool Sculpting Most Likely to Help?

This painless, non-invasive procedure is good for people who need to have fat removed in isolated, specific places but are not significantly overweight.  Dr. Turowski is expert in the Zeltiq Cool Sculpting fat removal system.  This Cool Sculpting device is great for reducing “love handles”, eliminating excess belly fat, tightening up the loose fat in the upper arm areas, ridding the thighs of excess fat, and taking care of the “pudge” that can develop on the knees.

Cool Sculpting is a great non-invasive alternative for patients who might otherwise consider liposuction.


Does Cool Sculpting hurt?  What is the recovery like and do the results last?

There will be only minor discomfort compared with fat reduction surgery or liposuction.  The feeling the patient gets from the treatment is likely to be a numbness related to the cool temperature.

Most patients are able to return to their normal routine immediately after the procedure. There is no downtime and usually no pain relievers are needed.

Some people experience redness, mild pain, and bruising for a few days afterward.

All you have to do is maintain a healthy lifestyle after your Cool Sculpting procedure and your results should remain completely stable.
