About CoolSculpting in Whittier
CoolSculpting is based on a process called cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis, also called “fat freezing” is a process where fat (adipose) cells are frozen. The frozen cells enter a sequence of eradication that destroys the affected fat cells but leaves the surrounding tissue undamaged. Cryolipolysis ultimately derives from a unique discovery from the 1970s when two physicians found that infants sucking on popsicles resulted in the disintegration of some fat cells.[1] The researchers concluded that lipid-rich fat cells were more susceptible to the cold than surrounding water-rich cells. This discovery eventually led to the pioneering development of CoolSculpting treatments.
Benefits
- Safe process for eliminating stubborn fat deposits
- Easy recovery and no downtime
- Quick and comfortable procedure
- Gradual results that emerge over 8-12 weeks and last as long as your healthy lifestyle endures
- Ability to treat multiple areas
Candidates
Candidates for CoolSculpting are anyone that has a persistent bulge that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. In short, most of us can benefit from CoolSculpting. If you have any medical conditions that relate to cold sensitivity, you might not qualify for CoolSculpting. Make sure to mention any cold-sensitive conditions during your consultation.
Treatment Areas for CoolSculpting Include:
- Double chin
- Chest
- Upper arms
- Bra area in women
- Flanks/love handles
- Abdomen
- Outer and inner thighs
- Above the knees
- Buttocks
- Lower back
Your Consultation with Skin Perfect
When you come in for a consultation you will meet with Stephanie Sharma, a Fellow of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. During your consultation, we will perform a thorough assessment of your medical history to ensure that you have no allergies or cold-sensitivity. We will also review your aesthetic goals and expectations. Once you are deemed a qualified candidate, we will go over the procedure and provide more details on what to expect.
If you’re ready to put your stubborn fat in the freezer, give Skin Perfect a call or text (562) 278-3202. You can also book a consultation online.
Preparation
CoolSculpting requires little in the way of special preparation. Most important is ensuring you are already at a stable body weight before the procedure. Don’t try crash dieting in the weeks before CoolSculpting as that could jeopardize your results. We advise you to bring a book to read or a tablet to watch something. Otherwise, just follow any individualized instructions we provide during your consultation and enjoy your results!
Procedure
CoolSculpting is a simple procedure. When you arrive at our office, our staff will help you get comfortable. A gel will be applied to the treatment area. Your clinician will then attach the applicators. Sit back and relax while the CoolSculpting applicator does its job.
Recovery
Recovery is quite simple as well. You can resume your daily activities immediately following the procedure. You might experience some minor swelling or discomfort like you would from an intense workout, but that’s about it.
Results
Your results will take shape between 3 weeks and 3 months after your procedure. CoolSculpting results in up to a 25% reduction in fat in the targeted area from one treatment session.[2] Some patients opt for more than one visit. If you think you want more than one session, mention that during your consultation.
Pre & Post Care Instructions
Please choose post-care instructions based on your location.
Costa Mesa Instructions
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that may take from one to several hours, depending on your treatment plan.
- No topical anesthesia or pain medication is required.
- Please be prepared to take before, during, and after photos for clinical documentation. Your photos will NOT be released without your signed consent and explicit permission, if you choose to do so.
- As the procedure is initiated, vacuum pressure draws tissue into an applicator cup between cooling panels. The vacuum pressure may cause sensations of pulling, tugging, throbbing, and pinching in the area being treated.
- You may also experience intense stinging, tingling, aching or cramping. These sensations generally subside as the area becomes numb.
What to Expect Immediately After Your Treatment
- Immediately after the procedure, your treated area may look or feel stiff and transient blanching (temporary whitening of the skin or redness) may occur.
- You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness as your body naturally warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are normal reactions that typically resolve within minutes.
- The treated area may be red for up to a few hours after the applicator is removed. This is an expected but temporary effect after CoolSculpting.
- Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. This typically resolves within a week or two.
- Following abdominal coolsculpting – do not do abdominal workouts for 1-4 days. It can take up to a week to recover depending on the soreness of the abdomen. Abdominal crunches or abdominal workouts will prolong the swelling. If you feel well the day following your coolsculpting procedure, feel free to continue with your daily exercise (avoiding abdominal workouts).
- Nausea, tingling, stinging and cramping in the treatment area are often reported on treatment day.
- There is typically very minimal recovery time after CoolSculpting. Most patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after the procedure.What to Expect in the Days and Weeks Following Your Treatment
- It is common for the treated area to feel bloated and look swollen in the first few days and weeks following your treatment.
- You may experience a temporary dulling sensation (numbness), sharp shocks (muscle spasms) or delayed onset of pain and this is normal. These symptoms typically resolve within a few hours but can last for several weeks to months after your procedure.
- At some point within the first two weeks following the procedure, you may experience one or more of the following sensations
- Deep itching
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Tenderness to the touch
- Pain in the treated area
- Strong cramping,
- Diarrhea
- Muscle spasms, aching and/or soreness. Extra strength Tylenol 1000 mg (2 tablets) may be taken every 6 hours for pain if you are not allergic to it. Over-the-counter Benadryl is helpful for the deep itching and tingling sensations. Consult with your doctor if these conditions persist beyond two weeks or worsen over time.
- Following the procedure, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You may start to see changes as early as three weeks After CoolSculpting and you will experience the most dramatic results after three months.
- To ensure the most optimal results, it is mandatory that you wear a specialized compression garment for a minimum of four weeks following your procedure. This minimizes irregularities and maximizes skin contraction. Please visit www.designveronique.com to order your garment in advance if you are not ordering in the office.
- Skin Perfect can order your compression garment for a fee of $150. You also have the option of visiting www.designveronique.com to order the garment yourself.
Next Steps
- Weight gain will prevent you from appreciating your full results. Maintaining a healthy diet and a daily exercise routine can help prevent this.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
- Schedule a follow-up medical assessment to review your clinical results and discuss the option of additional treatments to achieve desired fat reduction.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost in Whittier?
CoolSculpting costs depend on what area you want to treat and the size of the treatment area. During your consultation, Skin Perfect will provide you with clear and transparent pricing.
FAQ
Will fat cells return after CoolSculpting?
The number of your fat cells are set during adolescence. These fat cells are relatively stable and won’t fluctuate much during your entire life. The frozen fat cells that CoolSculpting eliminates will not return.
Does CoolSculpting work for losing weight?
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure. It’s designed for targeted fat reduction, not reducing weight by a significant amount. If you are looking for a treatment for obesity, we can make alternate recommendations. CoolSculpting should be postponed until after you’ve lost the weight and feel ready to recontour your body.
