Before & After Photos

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculping is the brand name for cryolipolysis, which is the art and science of freezing fat cells. The innovative CoolSculpting equipment is able to accomplish fat removal while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.^{[1, 2]} Adipose (fat) layers respond to cold temperatures differently than skin and muscle do. Dr. Castillo understands this delicate dichotomy, and can administer precise pulses of frigid innovation exactly where you need them. Once your unwanted fat cells are frozen into stasis, the body regards them as waste material. Your lymphatic system flushes away the fat naturally and gradually over the course of the next 2-3 months.

CoolSculpting can contour various parts of your physique. Diet and exercise are wonderful ways to maintain your health, but they may be ineffective when it comes to shaping your frame. CoolSculpting targets your specific “problem areas” and can reduce the size of a given fat deposit by up to 25% in just one session!

Thigh CoolSculpting

When the upper legs accumulate unwanted fat, they can not only be unsightly; they can be uncomfortable. Walking may chafe the thighs and pants, shorts, and skirts might be too snug. CoolSculpting for thighs will slim and trim the upper legs. After CoolSculpting treatment with Dr. Castillo, clients can stroll, saunter and sashay with ease!

Abdominal CoolSculpting

Let’s face it: the belly is the most stubborn region to contour. Crunches leave you breathless and diets leave you wanting more (literally). CoolSculpting can flatten your tummy without the need for expensive, extensive surgery. Indeed, CoolSculpting is great for both women and men, accentuating the figure you want without changing the essence of who you are. If you are trying to achieve six-pack abs, CoolSculpting may be your new best friend. An hourglass figure is also within sight through the power of cryolipolysis. 

Arm CoolSculpting

Over time, the upper arms gather flab that hangs in a displeasing fashion. The phenomenon is often referred to as “bat wings.” To make those pesky underarm protrusions fly away, consider a CoolSculpting session at Swan Medical. Our customized applicators cradle the upper arms to deliver transformative temperatures exactly where they can have the most impact. 

Buttocks CoolSculpting

Fat has a mind of its own. Even when you try to achieve a firm, round butt, the bulk of your fat often migrates south. The pudge that collects under the lower crest of the cheeks is called a banana roll, and CoolSculpting can gently peel it away.

Call (925) 905-9922 to discuss your body contouring goals and learn how cryolipolysis can help.

Benefits of Body Contouring

In addition to the targeted physical benefits outlined above, CoolSculpting can deliver psychological rewards as well. Take a good look at your most bothersome “problem area.” Pinch it, roll it around in your fingers, and really study that unwanted fat. Now imagine if the protrusion was reduced by one-quarter of its size with each treatment. You can flush away insecurities along with excess fat cells, courtesy of Swan Medical.

Eligible Candidates

If you are a healthy man or woman, consider a visit to Swan Medical. Dr. Castillo or a member of team of specialists can determine if CoolSculpting is the best way to trim and tone your “problem areas” and deliver the contours you crave without the need for surgery.

You may not be eligible for CoolSculpting treatment if you have a lymphatic disorder. The lymphatic system is responsible for whisking away the fat cells that are frozen during cryolipolysis. Please inform Dr. Castillo of any health conditions you have during your comprehensive consultation.

Preparation and Procedure

The CoolSculpting process is so easy, you may be ready for your first session immediately following your consultation. Sit back, read a book or surf your smart device, and let the CoolSculpting technology do the rest. One treatment session usually only lasts 30-45 minutes, but it can reduce a given fat deposit by up to 25%.

Rapid Recovery

Immediately following your CoolSculpting session, a Swan Medical professional will gently massage the treatment area. This supports the body’s ability to flush away the unwanted fat that was frozen during your procedure and markedly improves results. 

Since CoolSculpting does not require incisions or anesthesia, you will be ready to resume your day once the applicators have been removed. You may notice slight redness or stiffness, but these will gradually subside over the next 2-4 hours. 

Truly Cool Results

According to an extensive survey of 518 CoolSculpting recipients, there were no significant side effects associated with the cryolipolysis procedure.^[3] On average, treatment areas were reduced by a factor of 23% as measured by calipers.
