We’ve all heard about the highly-rated and popular fat reduction treatment referred to as CoolSculpting, but does it really work on belly fat and other treatment areas? We turn to a CoolSculpting expert to find out.
CoolSculpting Elite is the #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment available. A recent clinical study showed that 88% of study participants would agree to another treatment and 92% would recommend the treatment to others. The study concluded that cryolipolysis–the scientific name for the freezing process used in CoolSculpting–is an effective and safe non-surgical body contouring method with a high degree of patient recommendation and satisfaction ratings. The study further indicates what we’ve known since CoolSculpting took the market by storm a little over a decade ago–that CoolSculpting is a sought-after and highly recommended treatment based on research and results.
Still, you might be skeptical.
As the only FDA approved treatment to use targeted cooling technology to freeze fat cells, CoolSculpting promises to permanently remove fat from hard-to-lose places. But, does it really work on belly fat and other treatment areas?
To help boost your confidence and verify and validate its effectiveness, we turn to Aesthetician and CoolSculpting and Body Contouring Specialist, Nicci Pedroni, to give us the skinny on CoolSculpting Elite, from treatment areas and patient experience to expected results.We also share the real life experience and input of patient and Aesthetician, Mindy Goecke, along with several real patient testimonials!
Nicci Pedroni – CoolSculpting and Body Contouring Expertise
Nicci has provided hundreds of CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite treatments for her patients. In this Q&A, she imparts her wisdom, expertise, and experience regarding CoolSculpting Elite and how it works on belly fat and other treatment areas.
Q: First, the burning question… does CoolSculpting Elite work on belly and stomach fat, and if yes, how?
Nicci: Yes! Coolsculpting Elite is the #1 BEST non-invasive treatment to eliminate stubborn fat that diet & exercise cannot help, FDA approved for permanently eliminating fat cells with minimal to no downtime. Now is the time for anyone interested if Coolsculpting Elite would be the right treatment for them, not only is our consultation for Coolsculpting Elite complimentary we can also do virtual consults for those who cannot make it to our office in person. Nothing to lose except belly fat!!
Q: What type of results can people expect to see in this [the belly] area?
Nicci: The final results can vary from person to person depending on how much volume that person has starting off, the abdomen/belly is treated twice like the rest of the nine body areas. The reason we treat twice is for that consistent 20% to 25% fat reduction we get within each treatment.
Q: What about results in other treatment areas?
Nicci: Results on the other treatment areas can vary the same, how much volume is in the area will determine how many applicators you, in particular, would need to get the desired results you are wanting. I pride myself on sharing before & after pictures of similar body types for all my clients. That way they can see real people with real results & make the decision on treating their problem area with Coolsculpting Elite.
Q: What is your favorite thing about working with the CoolSculpting Elite treatment both personally and when working with patients?
Nicci: I personally love treating every person that’s an ideal candidate with Coolsculpting Elite. One of the many take-aways that come from my clients is their happiness and gratitude when seeing their results at their 90-day follow up visit, countdown from the start of their second visit. Another great perk personally is the testimonials that come from our clients and how choosing an experienced provider is one of the most important things when making a decision on any type treatment like Coolsculpting Elite.
Q: What advice do you have for individuals considering CoolSculpting?
Nicci: Start with a complimentary consultation to see if you’re a candidate. We consider your weight from where you’re considered to be for your body type. Some of the contraindications for treating the abdomen with Coolsculpting Elite include if you are more than 20 to 30 pounds overweight with a BMI over 30, pregnant or six months post pregnancy, have hernias in the abdominal area, and have certain types of autoimmune disorders, such as Rhynids. Questions during the consultation will help to determine if you have any of the few contraindications and if you are an ideal candidate.
Real patient CoolSculpting experience
According to DermaTouch RN patient and practitioner, Mindy Goecke, CoolSculpting definitely works. Mindy shares about her results, “I noticed results in almost exactly three weeks. One day you just put on your clothes and realize that they are fitting better and more loose in the area that was treated.”
And it’s not just Mindy that’s happy with CoolSculpting; millions of happy patients have had CoolSculpting treatments worldwide, along with hundreds of patients treated at DermaTouch RN. The reviews speak for themselves!
CoolSculpting Testimonials from real patients
“I did CoolSculpting here and the results were amazing! I’m so happy with how I look. I wanted to cry when we compared the before and after photos. Nicci did an amazing job and she was incredibly nice and comforting through the entire process.”
“I signed up for 2 treatments for my mid-section and was told I may not see results for 3 months. WELL, by today (1 month visit), I can definitely see results, and the pics they took to prove it. Nicci is wonderful! Slight discomfort with the extreme cold and fairly expensive, but money well spent! Highly recommend it!”
“I came in to DermaTouch for body CoolSculpting and Nicci has beyond met my expectations as a provider and in treatment! I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about CoolSculpting! She is professional, friendly and amazing”
“Experience went surprisingly well. I didn’t experience anything bad during the whole process. Niccii was very knowledgeable and, of course, has a lot of experience, so I trusted her judgments. I must have a high pain tolerance because the only thing I thought was discomforting was the numbness in my pinky fingers due to how the arms were to be held while undergoing the process. This is my first time doing anything cosmetic, and I enjoyed my experience. Wouldn’t mind doing more than my arms (which are my trouble area), just because my husband thinks I am fine the way I am.”
“This place was great. It was professional; all the girls there are so helpful and just so nice. I did my Botox with Nicole and she was excellent. I definitely recommend her, and I went with Nicci for CoolSculpting, and she was so phenomenal, so helpful, and so friendly. She explained everything from beginning to the end, also. Thumbs up!”
“I have been going to DermaTouch RN for several years now, so this review is way overdue. I have had many different services here (facials, CoolSculpting, fillers and Botox). My Botox treatments have always been with Renee, the owner, who takes the time to review your face, gives suggestions, and never oversells. My Botox has always been spot on, with no asymmetry or need for a retouch. My facials have been with Krys and Nicci and both have been very professional and kind, and I have seen amazing results! I’ve had CoolSculpting on my chin and stomach by Nicci. I cannot tell you how well my chin treatment went. It looks like I lost 20 lbs.”
With CoolSculpting Elite, fat cells are eliminated and gone for good
CoolSculpting targets fat, like hard-to-lose stomach or belly fat, by placing cooling pads on the treatment areas. The fat cells are targeted while the cells around the fat cells remain intact. Once the fat cells are naturally removed from the body, theyCoo are gone for good. Bye, bye belly fat! As long as you maintain an overall healthy lifestyle, your results should be long-lasting.
If you’re ready to meet your fat reduction goals, as Nicci suggests, schedule a CoolSculpting Elite consultation with a specialist in your area. You can also book a free virtual or in-person consultation with DermaTouch RN.
