3. Noninvasive:
While most patients seeking fat loss in Tucson, AZ have heard of CoolSculpting, many are not familiar with how the treatment actually works. One of the many wonderful benefits of the procedure is that it is completely nonsurgical and noninvasive. The applicator, which is hooked up to the CoolSculpting machine, is attached superficially to your skin, with no injections or anesthesia needed.
4. Virtually Painless:
Adding to the fact that it is noninvasive, CoolSculpting is virtually painless and requires no downtime. While patients will experience a cooling, tingling, mild stinging, and possible cramping sensation at the site during treatment, it is generally very well-tolerated and not regarded as being painful. Patients can return to work or normal daily activity immediately without restriction. Some patients report mild short-term swelling or bruising.
5. Does Not Damage Healthy Tissue:
With the proven science behind CoolSculpting, patients enjoy the peace of mind that the treatment is designed to target fat cells specifically and will not affect or damage any skin or healthy tissue.
6. Fat Loss; Not Weight Loss:
CoolSculpting can produce visible and significant results, but it is important to remember that the procedure is designed for fat loss and not weight loss. The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting in Tucson, AZ should be within 5 – 30 pounds of their ideal weight, having maintained that weight for at least six months. CoolSculpting specifically targets stubborn areas of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
7. Fat Cells Are Permanent:
The scientific side of CoolSculpting is technical and important to understand when learning how the procedure actually works. CoolSculpting specifically targets and destroys fat cells, a certain number of which are present and permanent at an early age. Typically around adolescence, the body “settles” on a number of fat cells to retain for the remainder of one’s lifetime. As our weight fluctuates, fat cells can swell or shrink, but the number of cells remains the same. CoolSculpting targets these fat cells and destroys them.
8. Perfect For Men And Women:
Because of the many different areas that it can treat, CoolSculpting is perfect for both men and women. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arun Rao is well-versed in the various benefits of CoolSculpting that can be realized by men and women, respectively, and the experienced team at Rao Plastic Surgery can walk you through the process and expected results during your initial consultation.

One of the favorite advantages of CoolSculpting for patients in Tucson, AZ is the speed at which they can realize results. After just one treatment, the majority of patients will see a 20 – 25% reduction in fat and inches in the area that was treated. Multiple sessions are recommended to achieve optimal results, and the final outcome is usually seen between 2 – 6 months following the treatment.
10. Your Provider Matters:
