CoolSculpting Arms Beverly Hills FAQs

Does CoolSculpting really work on arms?

Definitely! CoolSculpting can be used to reduce excessive fat on the arms. The procedure is typically used for people who are at or near their ideal body weight but still have stubborn pockets of fat in certain areas that they would like to get rid of.

How many CoolSculpting sessions do I need for arms?

One CoolSculpting session is generally enough for arms to reduce up to 20% of fat cells. However, the number of CoolSculpting treatment sessions needed for the upper arm will vary from person to person, depending upon their anatomy. An additional session may be required to achieve desired results.

Does CoolSculpting tighten skin on arms?

Although some people may have noticed tightened skin on their arms after CoolSculpting, the treatment is not indicated for skin tightening; it eliminates subcutaneous fat. Patients who wish to lose the saggy skin on their arms can use Thermage or BodyTite to smooth, tighten and contour their skin. A combination approach of CoolSculpting followed by Morpheus8 provides fat reduction and skin tightening results.

How long does CoolSculpting last?

The results of CoolSculpting treatment can be permanent. The fat cells of the targeted area are destroyed and, thus, cannot regrow. However, it is important to remember that other fat cells in the body can expand if a person gains weight, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help retain the results.

Does CoolSculpting help bat wings?

CoolSculpting may help reduce bat wings if their appearance is due to excess fat accumulation on the upper arms. However, bat wings are most commonly due to deflated or loose skin on the upper arms. Skin tightening treatments, or a combination of CoolSculpting and skin tightening therapies, may be more suitable depending on your specific case.

How can I reduce my arm fat?

To reduce arm fat:

• Adopt a calorie-deficient diet.
• Cut down on refined sugars and processed foods and opt for nutrient-rich, whole foods like lean proteins, fresh fruits & vegetables, and healthy fats.
• Add fiber to your diet, such as legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
• Try cosmetic procedures, such as CoolSculpting, BodyTite, or Brachioplasty. You may need a combination of treatments depending on the severity of skin laxity and if fat reduction, skin reduction, or both are required to produce your desired result.

Can you see CoolSculpting results after 1 week?

No. CoolSculpting results develop gradually. Patients will notice changes within 2-3 months post-treatment. CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells and triggering a process known as apoptosis. It takes time for the body to eliminate these dead cells through its natural metabolic processes.

What should you not do after CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a safe and effective way to target stubborn pockets of fat. For the best results, ensure to follow post-treatment care guidelines:

• Avoid rigorous activity for the first few days.
• Use caution when exposing yourself to cold temperatures.
• Resist the urge to evaluate your results too early
• Keep up healthy habits post-treatment

What does skin look like after CoolSculpting?

Immediately after treatment, you can expect minimal redness or swelling at the site. These effects typically diminish within a few days following your session. You may also feel tingling sensations on your skin which should subside quickly once the area becomes numb from cryolipolysis (fat freezing), one of the processes used during CoolSculpting treatments. Numbness can also persist for weeks and resolves.
