Everyone who is on a quest for a more slender, fit body has probably run into obstacles along the way.

Most of those obstacles can be overcome by continuing to work toward your goal, but some fat bulges refuse to budge. Everyone has areas of the body where fat cells love to gather. Dr. Kouros Azar provides a nonsurgical solution—CoolSculpting—at our Thousand Oaks practice near Westlake Village. CoolSculpting is clinically proven to minimize pockets of unwanted fat, providing effective, long-lasting results . Dr. Azar will employ an artist’s vision for beauty and sculpt away those stubborn fat deposits to help you shape the body you desire.

Your Better Looking Body

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a method of reducing fat cells in a targeted location to reshape your body in desirable ways. CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis, which freezes and permanently eliminates the fat cells in a specific region of your body.

CoolSculpting works by exposing your adipose tissue (fat cells) to very cold temperatures. This exposure causes them to freeze and be eliminated. Researchers discovered this effect in 2007. This discovery formed the knowledge base that led to CoolSculpting’s innovative technology. CoolSculpting received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2010. The frozen fat cells trigger a natural healing response. The body’s immune system generates special cells that digest the frozen fat cells naturally. The lymphatic system will also be activated to flush out excess lipids from the fat tissue.^[1] The result leaves the targeted region slimmer and toned with more muscle definition.

About CoolSculpting in L.A.

Hollywood loves CoolSculpting because the results look natural–not like you’ve had “work done”. Plus, there’s no downtime. Celebrities like Debra Messing, Khloe Kardashian, and Molly Sims swear by their results, so maybe it’s time for you to explore CoolSculpting.

Minimally-Invasive, Quick Procedures

Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are at or near their ideal body weight. It’s important to remember that CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss method. It doesn’t aim to drastically reduce your body weight. Instead, CoolSculpting is fat loss that targets fat deposits on your body that persist even after diet and exercise. CoolSculpting shouldn’t be seen as a way to drop a lot of weight but rather as a way to mold your body’s contours to supplement your hard work. Dr. Azar can’t use CoolSculpting to paint you an entirely new body but rather to touch up the picture you’ve already been working to achieve.

Scientifically Proven Results

Preparation for Your Procedure

CoolSculpting is an outpatient procedure, and preparation is relatively simple. Avoid medication that thins the blood. Blood-thinning medication includes Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and other over-the-counter pain medication. Also, it’s best to avoid tanning the location you want CoolSculpted or exposing it to the sun. On the day of your appointment, you should eat a light meal. Don’t go into your appointment on an empty stomach. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, not your expensive dinner attire. Bring along some entertainment, like a book to read and a tablet to watch your favorite shows. After the applicator is applied, you’ll have plenty of time to sit and entertain yourself.

Trim That Stubborn Fat

CoolSculpting Recovery

Once the treatment is complete, our professionally trained Coolsculpting technician removes the applicator. You can resume your normal activities with no restrictions. Side effects, if any, are mild and are only temporary. They include minor skin sensitivities at the treatment area–redness, bruising, swelling–but these are normal and resolve quickly. You may also experience some tingling during the first 1-2 weeks when your nerves start to ‘wake up’ after the freezing procedure. This is also normal and subsides shortly after it begins.

Fat Won’t Come Back

CoolSculpting Results

Because CoolSculpting relies on the body’s natural response to process dead fat cells, you won’t see immediate results after your treatment. Many patients require more than one treatment session, and we encourage patients to book a minimum of two treatments to maximize their satisfaction with the treatment. The number of sessions depends on your specific needs. Dr. Azar will let you know during your consultation how many sessions he believes are needed to achieve your goal. Some patients notice results around three weeks after their first treatment.

However, it typically takes one to three months to see your final results take shape. It can take up to 6 months for your body to completely flush out the affected fat cells. Once the body flushes out fat cells, they do not return. Scientific studies find that CoolSculpting is safe and effective, with patients reporting high levels of satisfaction.^[2]A single CoolSculpting session was shown to reduce fat cells by up to 25% from the selected location.^[3] Additional sessions can reduce fat tissue by even greater amounts.

Additional Procedures

Gynecomastia, also known as “man-boobs,” is an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in boys or men caused by an estrogen and testosterone imbalance. Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts but is treatable with CoolSculpting.

Love handles, or the areas of skin that protrude from the hips, are popular areas for treatment on both men and women and can be easily melted away using the CoolSculpting procedure. Employing a variety of applicators, CoolSculpting is able to target both inner and outer thigh fat, often referred to as saddle bags. Some patients look to combine CoolSculpting with other procedures. For mothers, CoolSculpting is popular but it doesn’t address some common issues women experience post-pregnancy. Breast lifts and breast augmentation are two desirable procedures to combine with CoolSculpting.

Additional Reading

If these are procedures you’ve considered then reach out to Dr. Azar and let him know you might be interested in a combination of treatments. Another popular set of procedures to consider in conjunction with CoolSculpting are injectable dermal fillers. Dermal fillers encompass a range of products designed to rejuvenate your face by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and restoring lost volume. CoolSculpting is great for the body and injectables complement it nicely by focusing on the face.

CoolSculpting Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between CoolSculpting And liposuction?

CoolSculpting and liposuction are two separate processes based on different strategies for removing excess fat. Coolsculpting freezes the fat deposits and allows the body to naturally metabolize the unnecessary fat cells. Liposuction extracts fat cells through a suction procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure and requires no incisions or anesthesia. The results of liposuction are immediately visible. CoolSculpting gradually leverages the body’s natural processes, so it takes a few months for the full results to manifest.

How much does CoolSculpting cost in Los Angeles?

The cost of CoolSculpting depends on several factors, which include the location getting treated and how many sessions of treatments will be required. During your initial consultation with Dr. Azar, he can provide you with a complete set of prices associated with CoolSculpting for whichever locations you are interested in getting treated. Dr. Azar accepts a few forms of financing for your procedure if you prefer more flexible payment options.

Will it hurt?

CoolSculpting should be painless. Some people report slight tugging, pain, or stinging sensations.

Does my insurance cover it?

CoolSculpting is considered an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance.
