CoolSculpting® in Mount Kisco, NY
CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones uses CoolSculpting to help patients sculpt their bodies with proven, noticeable, and lasting results.
How CoolSculpting® Works
CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling, a process called cryolipolysis, to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue, so they are destroyed while your skin, muscles, and nerves remain unharmed. Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. Because those cells are gone for good, results are long-lasting.
Common Treatment Areas
- Abdomen and love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back fat and bra fat
- Under the chin and jawline
- Banana roll under the buttocks
What to Expect During Treatment
During your session, an applicator is placed on the treatment area to draw in tissue and deliver precise cooling. You may feel intense cold for the first few minutes before the area becomes numb. Many patients read, work on a laptop, or relax during treatment. Afterward, you can return to normal activities right away, which is why CoolSculpting is often called a lunchtime procedure.
When Will I See Results?
Results are not immediate. It takes a few weeks for your body to clear the treated fat cells, with early changes often visible around three weeks and the most dramatic results at two to three months. Some patients choose a second session for additional reduction.
Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment for obesity. It is designed for people at or near their goal weight who have stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. If you have more weight to lose, Dr. Maria Briones can start with a physician-supervised medical weight loss plan and use CoolSculpting to refine your results once you are closer to your goal.
Pair CoolSculpting With Other Treatments
For the best overall contour, CoolSculpting can be combined with Venus Legacy™ to tighten skin and improve the appearance of cellulite, or with Morpheus8 for firmer skin.
