Specifically, as our bodies age, there are stubborn areas of fat deposits that are slow to respond to diet and exercise…or worse, they just never respond. There is a quick and easy solution, though, and it doesn’t involve surgery!
What is CoolSculpting treatment?
CoolSculpting is an innovative technology that takes advantage of the growing cryotherapy efforts. Cryolipolysis is the scientific name for the fat-freezing procedure that allows medical professionals to sculpt your body through treatment.
It is an FDA-approved medical procedure that eliminates fat cells through freezing technology. It works by destroying fat cells by freezing them which allows the body to dispose of the cells as waste.
The body has a set amount of fat cells that enlarge or shrink through weight gain or loss, respectively. Losing weight doesn’t remove or eliminate fat cells. CoolSculpting treatments reduce the number of fat cells in the target area, effectively sculpting the body for an even distribution of fat cells.
CoolSculpting is specifically designed to target unwanted fat cells that are so often resistant to diet and exercise. The treatments destroy the fat cells while preserving surrounding healthy cells, such as muscle.
The technology is safe and effective in creating long-lasting results. It’s non-invasive and requires no incisions, no anesthesia, no recovery period, and no discomfort.

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting treatment can be effectively performed on a variety of areas and uses a series of applicators in different shapes and sizes in order to treat hard-to-reach areas. Areas such as the chin, jawline, upper arms, thighs, back, love handles, and other areas of the stomach can be treated.
What makes CoolSculpting so convenient?
Convenience starts with finding a CoolSculpting provider near you – Kitto Plastic Surgery is proud to offer the service in Richmond.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment – that means no need to go under anesthesia, no incisions that need time to heal, and no recovery time. As a non-invasive procedure, CoolSculpting treatment sessions require less than 60 minutes of time at the center, allowing you to continue with your normal daily schedule.
The highly effective fat reduction procedure also does not require formal aftercare that a procedure such as liposuction surgery. Liposuction requires anesthesia and in-office recovery, plus additional recovery time in addition to medications and wound management. All of these increase resources necessary for the treatment, both time and money.
Finally, many clients begin seeing results in one to two CoolSculpting treatment sessions. Each client and treatment plan is different, but a consultation with Dr. Kitto will provide you with a course of action to get you more toned and achieve the slimmer appearance you’re after.
