The Coolsculpting Journey

/

When new things come around, people tend to be skeptical about them. That’s how some people may feel about Coolsculpting, if you are one of those people or if you are curious about the process of Coolsculpting, then keep reading!

All consultations take place with our in house Medical Spa Nurse and Certified Coolsculpting Technician Tiffany. During your consultation she will go over the science behind coolsculpting with you explaining how it works, she will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure, and lastly she will evaluate the areas to be treated and will deliver a customized treatment plan to get you optimal results and an exact price quote for you. You can schedule a consult here - https://www.espritmedispa.com/contact or call 423-318-6625.

Once you have decided Coolsculpting is the procedure for you, Tiffany will work with you to schedule at a time that works conveniently with your schedule. Below is a list of the most common areas that are treated:

  • Submental area in the face and neck

  • Thigh

  • Abdomen

  • Flank/sides (also known as “love handles”)

  • Along-the-bra

  • Underneath the buttocks

  • Upper arm


When you decide what you are going to get done, then the procedure can begin! One great thing about Coolsculpting verses Liposuction is that there is no down time. You will be good to return to work or school the next day. You do not have to worry about it leaving scars since it is nonsurgical.

The first thing they will do is take before pictures so you will have progress pictures to see your results. After that, you will get in the chair and Tiffany will prep the area that is going to have the fat froze off. Once that is done, she will then apply the applicator. You are welcome to watch Netflix, take a nap and or just relax during the process. It takes around 30 minutes per cycle.

“How bad is the pain?”

We asked a past client to tell us the feeling while getting the Coolsculpting done, this is what she said.

“The first five minutes are going to be the worst. It will be so cold that it feels hot, but it isn’t a pain that will make you cry, just feels uncomfortable. After the first five minutes though, the treated area becomes numb and you can no longer feel it. I felt no pain after the first few minutes.”

Since your fat cells are being frozen, they will harden up after the process. Afterwards, your nurse will massage it for a minute or so. After getting it done, you will be numb a few days and maybe a little swollen around the area that was treated. A lot of people ask when they will start seeing results and the typical time frame is around 4 weeks for you to start seeing the change. It can take up to 6 months to see the final results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help improve your results as well.
