If you want a flat stomach, improve your figure, or if you try to get rid of stubborn fat in the belly, thighs or arms technology now available at aesthetic medical SKIN, Montreal might interest you. Intrigued by this new procedure known as CoolSculpting offered by Dr. Manish Khanna dermatologist at his clinic, writing Best Health wanted to put to the test. Before describing in detail our experience, some brief explanations about this amazing new technology.
The CoolSculpting: how does it work?
Developed by researchers at Harvard, the technology applied directly to the skin uses the cold to "freeze" and destroy fat cells, but without damaging the dermis, tissue or nerves targeted areas. Is that the fat in the fat are much more sensitive to cold than the content of other cell types. Thus, thanks to a precise temperature, the CoolSculpting happens to target only fat cells.
Once "frozen" by this technology, the fat cells are destroyed by cold and eliminated by the body. The first results are usually visible a few weeks after treatment, while the most important results will normally be visible from two to three months after the first session. The body, however, continue to get rid of fat cells for up to six months after treatment.
Note that CoolSculpting is made to "sculpt" the shape and get rid of stubborn fat, and is not made for a more comprehensive weight loss. It is also very important that this treatment is done under the supervision of health professionals, as is the case at the Clinique SKIN. Some clinics indeed offer this new technology, but without medical supervision.
Best Health will make a detailed account of the results in the coming months. But first, here is how was our experience CoolSculpting treatment.
Testbed CoolSculpting
Day 1: The meeting
Before starting treatment, I first met the team of this medical aesthetic clinic. During this first meeting, the dermatologist Dr. Manish Khanna and his team took the time to explain the procedure in detail and assessed my needs.
Each patient may indeed decide to receive treatment at various locations. I chose to test the CoolSculpting at the sides (you know, those famous love handles!). In women, the regions of the thighs, abdomen, back and arms are often treated. In men, the abdomen, flanks, lower back and chest are particularly popular target areas.
As every body is unique, the team of Dr. Manish Khanna then made an assessment of the type of fat found in the targeted area to determine what is the best of both techniques CoolScupting to adopt. In my case, as the fat was located rather deeper in the skin (a fatty firmer to the touch) it is preferable to use the CoolSculpting applicator which is placed against the skin and freezes the fat is situated in the selected section for about 2 hours.
Another approach is further available CoolSculpting: when the fat is on the surface of the skin (a fatty softer to the touch), while it is possible to drag the skin between two cooling panels. A vacuum then helps place the bead between the two wafers. The sensation is that of a suction pressure closes that allows to "freeze" and eliminate fat optimally.
After this initial meeting and assessment, we decided that the first option or the applicator, was the preferred option. So I was finally ready to receive the treatment provided few days after the first date.
Day 2: Treatment
Back at the clinic, we reviewed the entire procedure. The first step of the treatment was to apply a gel on the areas that I wanted to be treated (left and right side). With this gel, the skin is protected from the cold, but still leaves the cold CoolSculpting penetrate the skin.
Then you must position itself to allow the applicator is properly installed and reaches a maximum of fat cells on the treated areas. Lying on his stomach, it was possible to place the applicator first on my left, then my right flank.
During the first minutes of treatment, you get a great sensation and pain due to cold. After about 10 minutes, the area becomes numb and the pain disappears. In my case, it's not the applicator that bothered me, but being in bed two hours away on the belly. After a brief pause, the treatment on the right flank then started.
At the end of processing each target area, then the technician proceeded to massage the treated areas to free the destroyed fat cells. This massage creates some pain, but is nonetheless necessary because it ensures maximum efficacy.
And after? It's over: We are ready to resume daily activities. Note that the treated areas are completely insensitive, a rather strange and uncomfortable at first sensation. That said, at the time of this writing, about two weeks after receiving the treatment, I start to regain normal sensation in the treated areas.
It is important to note that a person on the other, side effects may vary. Some people may have bruises, or "blue", while a minority of patients may have a cyst that appears after treatment. Others experience more severe pain after treatment.
What's nice is that after this non-invasive treatment, no pills, supplements or treatment is needed. In addition, only one treatment is necessary. In about 2-3 months so I should see much results ... and let's say I already can not wait. So stay on the lookout: we will keep you informed of the final results!
