CoolSculpting at Aspire | A Step by Step Guide to CoolSculpting

If you’re considering CoolSculpting but really don’t know what to expect, then this step-by-step guide is just for you!

What to expect at an Aspire CoolSculpting consultation

Our CoolSculpting experts will lead your consultation.

1. During your consultation we will explore your reasons for coming to us, examine your areas of concern, and discuss what you hope to achieve during your CoolSculpting transformation. We will review your medical history to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for treatment.
2. A physical assessment will follow, where we will use a series of pinches to measure pockets of fat, points of projection, and the angle which your body fat tapers to ensure correct placement of the CoolSculpting applicators.
3. We will then be able to plan out a treatment programme that is 100% designed for you, taking into consideration your concerns and your transformation desires. Additional photographs will be taken for your records.
4. At your consultation, all aspects of your treatment will be fully explained allowing you to make a fully informed and clear treatment decision. Your consultation will focus on achieving your CoolSculpting transformation with Aspire.

What happens during the CoolSculpting treatment?

With CoolSculpting, the majority of the work is actually done at your consultation, which is why coming in for a consultation is so important. However, your treatment is as simple as this:

(We’ve used the abdomen as an example as it’s our most popular treatment)

1. Your CoolSculpting specialist will go through the treatment consent form that you will need to sign ahead of treatment.
2. Your specialist will pinch test and mark out the area being treated using notes and photography from your personal consultation.
3. They will place the appropriate applicator over the area being treated. You may want to bring spare underwear with you as the applicator gel is sticky.
4. You’ll be set comfortably on our treatment bed and the machine will be set to run for the treatment time (35-45 mins).
5. When the cycle is finished, the applicator is removed and an essential two-minute massage on the treated area is performed.
6. Go home and relax.

Snacks, drinks and lunch (depending on the length of your appointment) will be provided.

What will you feel during your CoolSculpting treatment?

Initially the area will feel cold. After 1-2 minutes you will feel a tingling sensation in the area being treated. By 7 minutes the tissue will become numb and thereafter most patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. Once the applicator is removed, you may feel some slight discomfort during the 2-minute massage.

What happens next?

Following the CoolSculpting treatment, the patient is invited in for a six-week review to see how the results are progressing. Photos will be taken, and it is an opportunity to compare these with the pre-treatment photographs. Not all patients will see an improvement at this stage, hence patients are also invited back for a 12-week review when results will be at their optimum.
