Why CoolSculpting® is Great for Men Part 2

If you see “fat reduction treatment” and immediately think of scars, pain, and long-term recovery, we have great news for you: you can avoid all these things and still get the fat reduction with CoolSculpting®! This proven non-surgical liposuction targets troublesome fat, and it works best if you are close to your goal but plagued by fat pockets that just won’t go away.

How Soon Can I Get a Second Treatment?

If you are not familiar with CoolSculpting®, it is a process created by Zeltiq for removing fat in certain areas of the body. Zeltiq is a medical technology company that has created a way to reduce fat cells by cooling them just enough. The cold temperatures kill fat cells, which are then carried away by the body. It is a revolutionary process that delivers results for far less discomfort, time, and recovery than other methods.

Not Seeing Results Yet?

At Front Range Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we absolutely love the results that CoolSculpting® gives our clients for so little discomfort and time. It has revolutionized the fat reduction world, and is giving hundreds of thousands of men and women the results they need. If you have recently had a CoolSculpting treatment and you are not seeing results, that can be pretty stressful and discouraging. We are here to help, so we encourage you to make an appointment with us. In the meantime, here are some troubleshooting questions to ask yourself:

Can CoolSculpting® Be Used on the Face?

Traditional liposuction is invasive and requires anesthetic and a recovery period, which makes it a significant time investment. The good news is, a company called Zeltiq has invented a new method for removing unwanted pockets of fat: CoolSculpting®. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reducing procedure that takes minimal time and allows you to return to normal activities right away. It is so brief, it can be done on a lunch break depending on how many areas you need! It is a permanent fat removal that kills your fat cells.

Can CoolSculpting® Address a Double Chin?

If you are generally healthy and in moderate to good shape, CoolSculpting can be an incredible option for you in Loveland. This non-invasive version of liposuction can take care of the pockets of fat that life builds up in certain areas of your body. It delivers results with little discomfort and minimal downtime for recovery. At Front Range Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we are proud to offer CoolSculpting as a fantastic option to all of our clients.

CoolSculpting® and Insurance

When you consider a procedure, the first question is usually ‘will my insurance cover it?’ Because CoolSculpting is an elective cosmetic procedure, (meaning it is not crucial to your survival), insurance companies will usually not cover it. Even though insurance companies will not cover CoolSculpting, that does not mean you lack options. Many cosmetic surgery offices offer financing plans. If you feel that CoolSculpting is what you need, go ahead and make appointments to meet with surgeons and see what options there are.

CoolSculpting® and Love Handles

If you want to reduce or eliminate your love handles in Loveland, there are several options available to you. The two main options will be an invasive procedure like liposuction and a non-invasive treatment like CoolSculpting. Though liposuction is great in certain situations, Coolsculpting can be perfect for the love handle area.
