Most of us have been there: You’ve taken the time to exercise and to eat right, and still, you have areas of your body that just aren’t responding to your healthy choices. We know it’s incredibly frustrating—but that’s where CoolSculpting can help. There’s no need to live with areas of your body that are making you unhappy.

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body sculpting technique performed at Elevé MedSpa in Wausau that targets those stubborn deposits of extra fat that don’t respond to healthy diets and regular physical activity. Patients in Wausau and throughout northcentral Wisconsin can benefit from the procedure, which requires no downtime or recovery period.

What areas of the body CoolSculpting targets

CoolSculpting is a procedure designed to target specific areas of your body. FDA-approved areas include the common areas where lots of people find they have trouble losing fat: The abdomen, thighs, and buttocks; the back, flank (love handles) and arms; and the chin and jawline.

How CoolSculpting works

CoolSculpting uses advanced technology to freeze the fat cells in the area being treated. The procedure works without freezing or damaging any surrounding skin or muscles, causing only the fat cells to die off. Your body safely and naturally eliminates these cells—for good.

CoolSculpting is comfortable and painless, and can be done in the time of a regular lunch break—you can get back to your day as soon as the treatment is finished, and you can finally enjoy the toned body you’ve been working so hard for.

It takes some time for your body to eliminate the fat cells targeted by the procedure, but you might see results as soon as one month after treatment, though it can take longer. Be patient and know that your body is working to rid itself of the cells.

Typical side effects immediately following the procedure can include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling or other minor effects, which your provider will go over with you before you have the treatment.

How do I know CoolSculpting is for me?

CoolSculpting isn’t a general weight-loss procedure but instead works best when you’re at or near your ideal target weight. You also should be fairly confident that you’re at the point where you can maintain your weight going forward. If you’re not yet where you’d like to be on your weight loss goals, Elevé MedSpa can work with you on a holistic approach to your wellness to help you get there before you pursue CoolSculpting.

And before going forward with CoolSculpting, your provider will talk with you about any conditions that would exclude you from the procedure, such as if you’ve had recent surgery, have a pre-existing hernia or have certain other conditions, sensitivities or allergies. 

We’ve set up our free Virtual CoolSculpting Educational Sessions to help you learn more about this effective procedure and determine whether it’s right for you.
