Safe and effective, Aurora Medical Spa St Louis CoolSculpting® is an FDA cleared procedure designed to freeze and permanently eliminate unwanted fat cells once and for all! By using targeted controlled cooling, CoolSculpting® is designed to remove pesky fat deposits from the area(s) of your body that refuse to respond to diet and exercise. Virtually painless with minimal downtime, the CoolSculpting® procedure is safely performed with an applicator cup to increase direct tissue contact at a lower temperature. This keeps the surrounding tissues from becoming damaged. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they’re removed from the body through the body’s natural process. Taking as little as 30 – 45 minutes per targeted area, you can return to your regular activities after your treatment. Best of all, after your fat deposits are frozen, your results are permanent!

During your treatment, a gelpad or a gel and applicator are applied to the targeted area. Applicators that use vacuum suction will draw the tissue into the applicator cup. Controlled cooling is then delivered to the treatment area. You may feel intense cold or experience sensations of pulling, tingling, stinging, or cramping temporarily. These sensations typically subside within 10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Many clients read or even take a nap during their sessions. Afterward, clients are usually able to return to normal activities.

Most clients experience very minimal downtime or side effects, and you should be able to return to normal daily activities following treatment. Some clients experience mild tenderness or numbness following their procedure.

In most cases, you’ll need two or more treatment sessions to achieve desired results. We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals to help you achieve your desired results!

Once your fat deposits are frozen and naturally removed from the body through the body’s natural process, your results are permanent! Although these fat cells are gone, we recommend maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise to prevent accumulating fat in more unwanted areas.
