NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURES

Coolsculpting

Through a process known as cryolipolysis, cool sculpting is a fat-freezing technique that aims to eliminate stubborn fat in specific areas of your body. It is a quick, easy and non-intrusive process.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROCEDURE A POPULAR OPTION?

Rather than taking chances with invasive and traditional procedures like liposuction, the majority of people have chosen to get CoolSculpting. This procedure offers a number of advantages, such as:

  • A 20–25% decrease in fat cells.
  • The procedure only requires 40 to 60 minutes to complete.
  • The first 3 weeks will show some results, although it may take up to 2 months to see the full effects.

It’s an easy and comfortable process that involves no downtime, anaesthesia and has no scarring, making it a perfect option for the girl (or guy!) on the go!

IS THE PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME?

If you’re considering undertaking the procedure but still have some reservations about whether you’re a suitable candidate, here are some considerations to help put your mind at ease:

  • You have excess fat you’d like to get rid of
  • You are looking to spot treat a particularly stubborn area
  • You are close to your goal weight, but would like to contour some areas

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Before your surgery, our team will be in constant contact with you to make sure all the boxes are checked. Some crucial elements to remember are:

  • Do not eat or drink for 6-7 hours leading to the surgery, otherwise you may not tolerate the anaesthesia well.
  • Avoid strong colognes or perfumes
  • Make sure to have enough comfortable clothes
  • Take off all your piercings and jewellery
  • Remove nail polish and extensions. This is necessary for the medical staff to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood.

You can also attend to minor details like removing contacts and switching to glasses, packing a bag of essentials as well as preparing a last-minute list of questions. Remember, there’s no such thing as being too prepared!

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?

Before undergoing the procedure, our team will share certain requirements to ensure your safety during the procedure. These include:

  • Avoid medication with blood thinners to minimise the risk of bleeding or bruising.
  • Do not apply any unnecessary strain or pressure on the area before the procedure
  • Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages during the surgery

The procedure is non-intrusive, but movement is limited in order to get the best results. While our experts get to work, you are advised to sit back and relax. You are welcome to bring a book, watch your favourite show or take a nap.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PROCEDURE?

To begin, a gel pad is placed over the area to be treated and the applicators are positioned on the site. Once the applicator has drawn in the fatty tissue, cooling can start. At this point, it is normal for the area to become numb from the cold.

Your practitioner will massage the area to further break down fat cells after the 35-minute cycle is complete. After treatment, the area will slowly warm back to body’s natural temperature and just like that, you’re ready to carry on with your daily activities

Following your successful procedure, you will be taken to our Recovery Suites where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off.

HEALING AND AFTERCARE

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE HEALING FROM THE PROCEDURE

After the procedure, it is normal to experience some irritation around the area. Some patients document feelings of soreness, redness and tenderness around the region and also some bouts of nausea.

If you are concerned about the rate of healing, feel free to contact our professionals and schedule a follow up consultation during the course of three months.

In most cases, a CoolSculpting procedure lasts an hour or less. The size and number of treatment areas will determine the precise length of the procedure.
