What is involved and what to
expect with CoolSculpting®?

Consultation/Assessment:

A CoolSculpting treatment begins with a consultation. One of
Skinpossible's CoolSculpting experts will sit with you in the privacy
of a consultation room and give you all the information you need
to make an informed decision. We will show you before and after
photos of what CoolSculpting has achieved for some of our other
patients (who have given us permission to show their photos) and
let you know if you are a candidate. Based on which areas of your
figure of physique you wish to have treated, we can map out a
treatment plan that will fit your goals, schedule and budget.

Pre-treatment Photos and Planning:

Prior to starting your treatment we will weigh you and take photos
of the treatment areas from a variety of angles. Since the fat will
clear gradually in the weeks following treatment, these baseline
photos provide a record to refer back to for comparison purposes
at the time of your post-treatment follow-up. What the eye doesn’t
see every day the brain can forget, so most people really appreciate
seeing the side-by-side visible changes. Coloured markings are
then used to map out the treatment plan and precisely identify
exactly where to place each cooling device to create the best
possible contour.

How CoolSculpting works:

Once you are comfortably positioned on the treatment table, a
thin gel pad will be placed on the treatment area to protect the skin
from frostbite. The appropriate cooling device is placed against the
markings and gentle suction draws the fat into the device. Over
the next 35 to 45 minutes, the fat crystalizes while the surrounding
tissue remains unharmed. The gel pad and cooling device are then
removed, and the treatment area is massaged for two minutes. This
brief massage can be uncomfortable for some, but most people
tolerate it well. Bringing the fat back to room temperature quickly
improves the efficacy of the treatment significantly.

We stand behind our work!

During the Treatment:

The area will feel cool, but not intensely cold, for the first few minutes.
This sensation subsides after approximately 5-10 minutes as the area
becomes numb. Then you feel nothing. Your technician will ensure you are
comfortable with blankets and pillows and will offer you beverages and
snacks. She will provide you with our guest wifi password, a remote for the
television and leave you to relax while the fat freezes. Some people use this
time to answer emails, read, or simply nap. You will have a pager to call your
technician in case you need anything. Your technician will have a timer and
will return promptly when the treatment is completed.

After the Treatment:

The crystallized fat cells are gradually removed over the next few weeks
and months through your body’s natural physiological processes. Most
people start noticing a difference at about the four-week mark, but the
most dramatic results are seen at about eight weeks. Results and patient
experience may vary, but an average of 25% of the treated fat will be gone
for good! A follow-up visit at approximately twelve weeks post-treatment will
allow us to take photos for comparison purposes and see the before and
after results side-by-side. Some people opt to do additional treatment(s)
for further fat reduction or contouring.

FAQ: What are the risks with
CoolSculpting?

Skinpossible’s Answer:

A very rare risk in CoolSculpting is known as
Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia. The definition of
paradoxical is “absurd or self-contradictory” and adipose
hyperplasia means that fat increases in size. In view of
the reliability of CoolSculpting to reduce localized fat
without surgery, it does seem absurd that this could
happen. Unfortunately, it can happen at any clinic
and to anyone, without explanation. Fortunately, this
complication is extremely rare, occurring only 1/10,000+
treatments, and the increased size is almost always
minimal. It is extremely unfortunate when PAH occurs,
but in the rare instances when this has happened it can
be corrected.

FAQ: What are the risks
with other Body Contouring
treatments?

Skinpossible’s Answer:

There are numerous non-surgical body contouring
treatments and asking this question is very important.
Some use various methods of rupturing fat but leave
the fat cell intact so results are only temporary. Others
attempt to destroy fat with heat with a risk of blisters
or inflammatory nodules. Some dissolve fat with
injections. Some treatments hurt. Some put the skin and
surrounding tissue at risk and some can cause contour
irregularities if not done properly. Unfortunately, some
treatments don’t work very well and every patient has a
small risk of being a non-responder.

Jokes about double chins abound but if you have one you may not find them either cute
or funny! Excess fat below the chin can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity
and aging, but sometimes it’s simply a matter of genetics. Double chins are not considered
attractive and if you have fat under your chin you probably don’t like it. Double chin

BEFORE AFTER How long will it last?

Nasolabial Folds & Lip Lines There are numerous brands of fillers
and the longevity of each varies greatly.
Change a little? Or change a lot! Under-Eyes Within product lines, thicker fillers
Jawline Contour generally last longer than fillers that are
more fluid. Comparable viscosities within
Cheeks a brand can also vary depending on the
molecular structure.
SoftLift: Neuromodulator + Fillers The degree of movement in the area of
the face where filler is placed also plays
a role. Filler in areas with more activity
such as the lips, will metabolize faster
than filler in areas that move very little
such as the cheeks, temples, jawline,
or orbits of the eyes.

How much will it cost?

Skinpossible uses premium fillers
because they simply last longer. While
our wholesale costs are more than we
could pay by offering cheaper brands,
our patients have told us they appreciate
the added value and the need for mainte-
nance treatments less frequently.
The cost for fillers at Skinpossible
ranges from $399 for our mini-lip
enhancement, and increases depending
on which brand of filler and how much
product is used to do your procedure.
For larger treatments we have fantastic
