Few weekends ago I attended Zeltiq CoolSculpting event and live
demo at Premier Clinic together with few bloggers friends. I heard about this treatment
before and some of my friends tried it too. It would be great to see and experience how Cool Sculpting treatment works before we schedule a CoolSculpting session.
Zeltiq CoolSculpting Event & Experience @ Premier Clinic |
In the nutshell, Zeltiq CoolSculpting is a non-surgical,
non-invasive body shaping and sculpting treatment. It uses FDA-approved method
of fat reduction involving fat-freezing; a technology called 'cryolipolysis' to
eliminate small excess fat deposits on the tummy, love handles, hips, thighs, buttocks
or arms.
Cool Sculpting presentation by Dr YS Kee |
Dr YS Kee explained to us that Cool Sculpting treatment is just targeting
our fat cells while leaving the rest of the body unharmed. As the fatty tissue
begins to break down, the body’s natural processes will cleanse and remove the
fat cells over time. It’s a simple and comfortable treatment.
Stubborn fats target area |
This treatment is best for the stubborn fats that no matter how we
workout it doesn’t go away, mainly the tummy and thighs.
Cool Sculpting live demo conducted by Dr YS Kee on Dr TH Chen |
During the event we got to witness the live demo conducted by Dr
YS Kee on Dr TH Chen. First is to decide the target area and then during the Cool
Sculpting procedure those unwanted stubborn fat will be cooled and freeze for 1
hour per area. Just have to relax during the treatment, you can read or watch
tv as well.
Zeltiq CoolSculpting |
During the procedures, those fat cell lipids literally freeze to
death, causing fat cells to harmlessly break down and reabsorbed by the body.
The procedure does not harm other tissues such as skin, muscles or nerves.
This is how it looks immediately after the Cool Sculpting treatment |
As you can see, after 1 hour the treatment areas were cooled,
harden and slightly bruised. The bruising, redness and cooling sensation will
take a while to subside. So the fat at these treated area were frozen and it
will slowly starts to eliminate out from the body.
I was lucky that day because I won the 1st prize which
is 1 Zeltiq CoolSculpting treatment during the lucky draw. Yes I tried the CoolSculpting
treatment on my inner thighs. It’s one of my major concerns, sometimes I don’t
have the guts to wear shorts because I feel that there are lots of flabby fat
on my inner thighs, so this treatments helps a lot.
Consultation and taking measurements before the treatment |
Dr Elaine consulted me and then the nurse took the measurements.
Here are the procedures, I can feel the pulling and tingling sensation at first
when the CoolSculpting machine started to suck fats into the freezing mould.
After like 3 minutes, my inner thighs started to feel numb and cool or frozen.
Then I relax for about an hour for each side. It’s quite
comfortable throughout the whole procedures, I can check and reply my emails
plus watch movie on my smartphone as well. It only the beginning and taking out
the CoolSculpting machine I feel but of discomfort. The whole procedures take
me about 2 and half hours including the consultation and measurement taking.
Relax & check my emails during the treatment |
Well there are temporary side effects on treated areas may include
bruising, tingling, numbness and sensitivity. However, these usually subside
within 2 weeks. After the treatment, I can go back to work the next day, there
is no down time. I am not able to wear shorts and do strength exercise in 1
week.
After 2 weeks, I went back to the clinic for follow-up. We noticed
each side of my inner thighs lost 1cm. The initial CoolSculpting results may
not be that noticeable until 4 weeks post treatment. Our body will continue to
eliminate the fat cells for months following Cool Sculpting treatment. The best
result is seen after 4 months.
3 weeks after Cool Sculpting treatment |
Overall, after the Cool Sculpting treatments at Primier Clinic I
can see that my inner thighs are becoming slimmer and firmer. Those flabby fats
are reduced and now I do wear shorts more often. However when I pinched my
inner thighs I can still see fats. Anyway this is just my first treatment,
according to Dr Elaine I might have to do 2 or 3 more Cool Sculpting treatments
to see the best results.

ReplyDeleteLooks like your results were about the same as mine! I went to a NYC coolsculpting centre recently and I wasn't expecting great results, so I ended up being pleasantly surprised at how well it actually worked.
ReplyDeleteCoolsculpting is a wonderful treatment. It is also a treatment of diminishing returns. Typically a total benefit of 25-40 percent is reasonable, with the first treatment usually providing the biggest result Coolsculpting can be done yearly for those who are using it for skin tightening. drgambhir.com
ReplyDeleteThat's an advanced level of treatment. Thanks for clarifying the whole procedure.
