Have you been asking yourself, "Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?" Discover what makes a good candidate here:
You Are Close To Your Target Weight
CoolSculpting candidates come in all shapes and sizes, but people who have “pinch-able” stubborn fat that can fit into one of the many applicators are the perfect candidate. Women can tend to get the “mom pooch” in the stomach area or unwanted fat in the love handle areas. As for men who are working out but they still can't seem to get rid of certain pockets of fat, CoolSculpting can be a great option for them as well.
CoolSculpting is cleared to treat stubborn fat in patients with a BMI of up to 30. It's important to keep in mind that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss program. The procedure focuses on reducing pockets of stubborn fat that hasn't gone away with exercise and diet. If you are 30 lbs over your goal weight, we suggest living a more healthy lifestyle. This involved staying active a few days a week, eating a “whole foods based diet”, and staying away from processed foods. Diet and exercise are recommended before and after treatment as well to enhance results.
One of the amazing aspects of iThriveBeauty in La Jolla is that we now offer a weight loss injection, Semaglutide. Semaglutide is a cluster of amino acids that reduce your appetite, slow down your digestion, lower your blood sugar, and enhance your metabolism. With all of those benefits, it gives you a natural energy boost while helping you stop cravings resulting in weight loss. When this injection is combined with your CoolSculpting treatments, It can give optimal results because you will shed the weight with Semaglutide and reduce the appearance of fat while contouring the body with CoolSculpting.
You Are Not Pregnant Or Looking To Become Pregnant
We do not recommend any patient who is pregnant or looking to become pregnant in the near future to undergo CoolSculpting treatments. While the treatment is noninvasive, there is not evidence to support the safety and effects CoolSculpting would have on a pregnant patient. Pregnancy changes your body is various ways, so it's better to wait until after you have kids to start your treatment.
You Want A Non-Invasive Treatment
If you are looking to get rid of stubborn fat, but do not want to have an invasive surgery such as liposuction, CoolSculpting could be a perfect solution for you. The recovery time for CoolSculpting is minimal (in some cases there is zero downtime), so you can get back to your normal life right away. There is no need to incisions, knives, anesthesia, or any type of drug when getting CoolSculpting treatments. It's completely safe, FDA-cleared, and noninvasive.
