The CSA Centers is the only company that only does Cool Sculpting, a treatment that uses equipment to freeze fat cells and reduce areas that are hard to get rid of.  There are other doctors and plastic surgeons that provide this service but many times it can be a bait a switch technique to get you in and upsell you on something else. So when you come to one of the CSA Centers, the only focus is losing inches by freezing the fat cells. I have worked out my whole life and still exercise pretty much every day.  However, my metabolism changed as I got older and no matter what I did,  my flanks (or love handles) just didn’t go away.  I love to eat but it has been impossible to reduce my sides.  I was not interested in any type of surgery alternatives but when I found out about the non-invasive approach, it made me very interested.  I did some research online and after reading many reviews and seeing a youtube video by Dr. Oz, I was sold on the CSA Centers.  I just had to come in for a consultation and the treatment on the same day, which took just 2-3 hrs total. 

This procedure is great at targeting a specific area that you are having trouble getting rid or or reducing.  Most common areas are the love handles for men and stomach for women but it can be used for other problematic parts of your body where you want to get rid of the fat. I have also tried certain diets and currently take extreme cardio classes like high energy yoga flow, biking, swimming, running and many other sports but none get rid of my love handles.  I keep in very good shape but have been looking and hoping for this type of procedure and finally it has happened.  I look good for someone who just turned 50 yrs old but have felt self-conscious when I take my shirt off with my expanding sides.  I cannot wait to see the results after this first session and then again after my second session.  More updates to come as time goes on with how the first session worked and then after the second session so keep checking back. 

 

Day of treatment: The staff from checking in with Candice to my nurse Brittany have been warm and fantastic.  They have made me feel very comfortable as my fat is freezing away on my side flanks.  I cannot wait to see the results in the next month or two and have already planned for a second session at the end of June. There is no pain and just a pulling sensation while I am relaxing here on my tablet, having lunch and watching tv during this short non-invasive visit targeting areas I have had a very difficult time with even though I exercise very often. The only pain was for about 8 seconds on my backside when the equipment was removed but then it calmed down as Brittany massaged the area, which also helps in aiding the elimination of the fat cells. My overall experience with CSA Centers was outstanding from their professionalism, confidence, friendliness and making me feel totally comfortable. I couldn’t have found a better place for this treatment. 

The first 2-3 Days after treatment: Upon driving home, there was numbness on my sides but nothing that prevented me from doing anything. As a matter of fact, I went for a full workout and took a cardio class at the gym with no ill effects. The next 2 days, the areas were still numb to the touch but no pain at all.

4-7 Days after the treatment- The numbness started to go away slowly and by about one week later, it had all pretty much went away. I could still feel my sides a tiny bit but it didn’t effect me at all. It kind of felt like the feeling when you work out a muscle you haven’t worked out in a long time so it was kind of a neat sensation like you know the muscle was used. There is nothing left for me to do except keep an eye on how much fat I lose until my planned visit about 2 months after my first one.

One Month after- Any small pain or feeling of the procedure was totally gone. It looks like I have lost some size on my flanks when I look in the mirror so all is progressing as planned.

Two Months after- Just visited their Beverly Hills office to see the results from my first treatment and as planned, there was a nice decrease in size and less fat.  The pictures proved it and I had my second treatment to take off more size and fat.  There seemed to be less pain as I was used to it.  The nurse, Joanne, was super friendly, helpful and answered all my questions besides checking on me quite often.

Two Months and One week after- Definitely less numbness and the soreness and swelling has been even less than the first time.

What will the results be?

Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

What happens during the treatment?

Coolsculpting is a non surgical fat reduction procedure. To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?

CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.

When will I see results?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

 Are the results permanent?

During CoolSculpting, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable.
