We can understand how frustrating it can be to try and lose stubborn fat. What most people do not realize is that the number of fat cells in the body does not decrease; they only reduce in size. So, it might feel like an uphill battle trying to achieve your body shape goals. What option is now left?

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis treatment, is an innovative way to contour your body by freezing stubborn fat cells. This non-invasive cryolipolysis therapy involves no surgery, minimal downtime, and delivers long-lasting body shaping results for patients in Mumbai. 

To help you gain a better understanding of this cosmetic procedure, we take you through some key facts including the treatment process, expected results, side effects, and other helpful information. 

Treatment process (Cryolipolysis)

What is cryolipolysis treatment? It is an FDA-approved fat freezing procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy fat cells without harming the skin or surrounding tissue. Also called Cryolipolysis CoolSculpting, this safe cosmetic solution is ideal for spot reduction. Unlike weight-loss methods, Cool Sculpting fat removal permanently eliminates fat cells, preventing them from returning. 

Once these fat cells freeze, they are naturally eliminated by the body. Provided by Allergan, this is a great alternative to surgery with little to no downtime. Research by the National Centre (NCBI) for Biotechnology Information, too, hails the great efficacy of this type of treatment in reducing unwanted fat. 

Cryolipolysis Procedure: Step by Step

Treatment steps: We, at The Bombay Skin Clinic, use the recently upgraded CoolSculpting technology by Allergan, which includes Cool Advantage and Cool Advantage Plus. These ensure faster treatment, a more comfortable experience for the patient, and more effective results

CoolSculpting is a relatively easy process. Let us take you through it. To begin with, our clinic doctors conduct a thorough assessment of the treatment area, following which they clearly demarcate it. 

Our cryolipolysis procedure begins with a detailed consultation to identify problem areas. Once marked, a gel pad is placed to protect the skin and the CoolSculpting applicator delivers precise cooling. This controlled freezing destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Each CoolSculpting treatment takes about 35–45 minutes. Patients can relax during the session, making this a convenient choice for busy lifestyles.  This applicator creates suction and delivers controlled cooling to the targeted fat cells. The entire process takes anywhere between 35 to 45 minutes, after which the frozen site is gently massaged.  

Post-treatment, there may be some temporary tenderness and cramping felt. Our medical experts take every measure to reduce discomfort during treatment and also advise patients on the ideal aftercare procedure. 

Benefits of Cryolipolysis Coolsculpting Therapy

The biggest advantage of cryolipolysis therapy is that it is completely “non-invasive”and requires virtually no downtime, making it ideal for busy lifestyles. This advanced body contouring solution offers:

• Permanent destruction of fat cells through controlled cooling.
• Safe, FDA-approved technology with proven clinical results.
• Natural fat elimination over the weeks following treatment.
• Visible inch loss and body sculpting, improving overall body shape.
• Boosted self-confidence and comfort in clothing as stubborn fat bulges reduce.

Unlike traditional weight loss methods that only shrink fat cells, cryolipolysis treatment actually eliminates them from the body. This ensures long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Ideal Candidates for CoolSculpting Treatment

We recommend CoolSculpting to patients who are at or near their healthy weight and not significantly overweight. This means that around 3–5 kg overweight is alright. Your doctor will advise you if your weight is suited to body sculpting. You must bear in mind that this is a spot-reducing procedure and not an alternative to a concrete weight loss plan. Most healthy people with problem areas of stubborn fat are the ideal candidates for body sculpting.

At The Bombay Skin Clinic, our doctors and aesthetic dermatologists thoroughly assess every aspect of your physical condition and wellbeing before recommending this cosmetic procedure.

Cryolipolysis weight loss treatments are best for patients close to their ideal body weight with stubborn fat deposits. If you’re 3–5 kgs overweight and struggle with resistant fat in areas like thighs, abdomen, or arms, you may be a great candidate for this coolsculpting treatment. It is not a replacement for obesity management, but a targeted contouring solution.

Targeted Body Parts

This cool cryo treatment effectively reduces fat in multiple areas: abdomen, thighs, upper arms, double chin, love handles, and back fat. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, our cryolipolysis in Mumbai service includes advanced applicators designed for small and large areas, ensuring precise fat reduction. 

Side Effects of Cryolipolysis & CoolSculpting Risks or side effects

We ensure that all our patients are well aware of both the short-term and long-term side effects. The former, which are immediate, include:

• Redness, minor swelling, and bruising
• Firmness, numbness, and tenderness
• Tingling, pinching, and stinging
• Mild to moderate pain and skin sensitivity

A few weeks after the procedure, you may:

• Feel fullness in the throat after treatments near the neck
• Feel itchiness in the treated site

Our experienced and trusted medical professionals will take every effort to ensure that all possible risks and side effects are minimized to allow for minimal downtime and the least discomfort post-treatment. Your doctor will discuss the procedure with you at length and let you know what you can expect. 

Results of Cryolipolysis

Our patients at The Bombay Skin Clinic have seen fantastic results after undergoing body sculpting. Many report seeing a fat reduction in as little as three to four weeks post-treatment. Maximum results are seen up to three months later. 

What thrills our patients is that fat cells are continuously removed from the body for up to six months after the procedure. This fat loss is long-term, as fat cells that are frozen and crystallized die off, so they are long-lasting if weight is stable.

All treatments do vary between patients. Our doctors will speak to you about what you can expect from body sculpting. We do advise our patients on living a healthy lifestyle to maintain their ideal body shape. 

CoolSculpting vs SculpSure and liposuction

While both CoolSculpting and cryolipolysis are non-invasive, CoolSculpting is the most advanced and FDA-cleared. Unlike SculpSure’s laser heat, cryolipolysis freezes fat cells for natural elimination. Compared to liposuction, it is safer, scar-free, and has minimal downtime.

Liposuction is an invasive surgery in which a plastic surgeon makes incisions to reach fat deposits and remove excess subcutaneous fat. This procedure requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Since CoolSculpting is a “non-invasive” surface treatment with minimal downtime, it is definitely superior and more preferable to liposuction.

SculpSure is a light-based therapy used to destroy the fat in problematic areas while keeping the skin safe. It uses laser technology 1064 nm, where the heat generated is delivered in pulses and alternated with cooling. This causes fat cell destruction thereby releasing fat from the cells. While it is also non-invasive, CoolSculpting is superior as it freezes fat within the cells to disrupt them and remove them from the body naturally in apoptosis. So, CoolSculpting destroys fat cells rather than simply releasing fat from the cells. Its results can be superior and more predictable. Yet, further research is still required in this field and is being done.

Self-care for the future

We advise our patients to follow a healthy lifestyle so as to appreciate the full results of CoolSculpting. This will also help in stabilizing long-term fat loss post-treatment. To this end, you must follow a healthy diet and exercise routine. Moreover, for six weeks after the treatment, anti-inflammatory medications are best avoided. 

We also encourage our patients to schedule a “follow-up” with our clinic for a medical assessment and a review of the results and progress. This also helps to determine whether additional sessions are required. The number of sessions does vary between patients. 

How Many Sessions of Cryolipolysis Are Needed?

The number of sessions required for cryolipolysis treatment varies from person to person. Depending on fat thickness, body area, and desired results, patients typically need 1–3 cryolipolysis sessions per targeted area. Smaller fat bulges may respond well to a single session, while larger areas such as the abdomen or thighs often require additional treatments for optimal contouring.

During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your body type and create a personalized CoolSculpting treatment plan tailored to your goals. Most patients notice visible fat reduction after the first session, with results continuing to improve over the following months. For long-lasting results, a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise is recommended alongside treatment.

Who should avoid CoolSculpting?

While CoolSculpting treatment is generally safe, it is not suitable for everyone. Patients with rare medical conditions such as cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, or cold agglutinin disease should strictly avoid this procedure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with uncontrolled chronic illnesses, or those with hernias in the treatment area are also not ideal candidates.

Before undergoing treatment, always consult with a qualified dermatologist who can assess your health history and minimize the risk of potential cryolipolysis treatment side effects. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, we carefully evaluate every patient to ensure safety and effective results.

Myths about CoolSculpting

Contrary to myths, cryolipolysis weight loss is not immediate. It does not treat sagging skin, nor is it painful. Our patients report only mild cold sensation during the coolsculpting treatment.

There are a few myths about CoolSculpting that we would like to dismiss. 

1. Myth 1: The results are instant – Fact: Some patients see results in a month instantly and others see them in three months. Your doctor will let you know what you can expect. We encourage our patients to allow some time to pass before looking for results.
2. Myth 2: It can treat sagging skin – Fact: CoolSculpting can only work on fat cells and not the surrounding tissues. So, if you have sagging skin, you need another form of treatment. However, it is best to consult a doctor to find out if instead of sagging skin the issue is fat.
3. Myth 3: CoolSculpting hurts – Fact: The procedure is “non-invasive” so you do not need to worry about any kind of intense pain. There will be a cold sensation on the skin but nothing that our patients cannot manage. As per the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, patients can resume normal activities after leaving the clinic. So, there is barely any downtime.

We also want to stress on the fact that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment; it is strictly a body toning procedure for people with small pockets of stubborn fat.

The cryolipolysis cost in Mumbai depends on treatment area, sessions, and technology used. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, we use premium FDA-approved devices ensuring safety and results.
