We tested for you... the Coolsculpting® by Fanny
After having tested hyaluronic acid injectionsFanny, our 33 year old Communication Director, wanted to try Coolsculpting® to reshape and lighten the oval of her face, which tends to become heavier with age. This method is very popular because it is non-invasive, without anesthesia and above all without scars! Explanations by Dr. Olivier Claudeplastic and aesthetic surgeon in Paris.
What exactly is Coolsculpting®, also known as cryolipolysis?
Which parts of the body and face can it be used on?
"The double chin and jowl fat respond very well to cryolipolysis! In terms of the silhouette, the areas of predilection for this technology are: the waist area, the arms, the thighs, the fat above the knees and the fat above the breasts under the arm... Finally, the areas to be treated will depend on the medical examination which will specify the type of fat (depth, density...) and the body analysis. Some areas will be treated 2, 3 or even 4 times during the same session. This is called "overlap".
What results can one expect? How long does it take?
"The expected result is a reduction of about 25 to 50% of the fat thickness. This will depend on the number of cold applications on the area during the session. The objective is to restore a harmonious silhouette or to lighten the lower part of the face to regain a well-defined oval. For the vast majority of patients, a single session is generally necessary. Only 15% of patients have a second session (often lighter) approximately 3 to 6 months later, in order to optimize the result."
My experience…
How does it work ?
After a personalized diagnosis, the Doctor Olivier Claude began by drawing dots on the bottom of my face and neck with a felt-tip pen, to the areas to be treated with the machine's applicator. In my case, 3 applicators will be necessary (one on each side of my neck and one in the middle), that is to say 3 sessions of 45 minutes. I go to a comfortable room where I am almost lying down, so that the applicator can be placed on the area to be treated. I then stay still for 45 minutes (per area) for the treatment to take effect. It does not hurt at allThe treatment does not hurt at all, with a few small tingling sensations at the beginning of the session and some discomfort when the applicator is removed, but it is quite bearable! The skin of the neck is a little numb and red for a few days, but you can resume normal activity the same day !
The result?
To see the final result, you have to wait between 1.5 and 3 months. At 3 weeks, I can already see a noticeable difference, especially in the contours of my face, which I find contours of my face that I find better defined. I still have a little numbness on my double chin, which is normal because it takes several weeks for the fat to dissolve. The key to even more visible results is to massaging every day in the morning and evening (and possibly wear a girdle at night). I can't wait to see the final results on my adorable gobbler, but I'm sure they'll be amazing! If needed, I can also do another session to maximize the results ;)
