Does Coolsculpting Work? - Whistler Medical Aesthetics

The first question is.....

The first question, the most common question we are asked, without a doubt is “Does Coolsculpting work?” 

The answer is a resounding ‘Yes.’ And No. 

Like all things in life, nothing is ever certain. We are all of us unique. Our bodies are unique, and we respond differently to different experiences, and aesthetic treatments are no different. 

So there are certain things that HAVE to be done to ensure success, and there are other things that CAN be done to maximize and optimize that success. 

Will it work for you?

Coolscupting works to freeze the fat in an area of stubborn fat. That means that it is not for everyone. If your BMI is 30 plus, the likelihood of Coolsculpting working for you is challenging, and most provide should be up front about that. It may be that there are areas that can be treated, but the outcomes will take time and quite probably two or three cycles to achieve. 

For clients with high BMI (30+) we use Vanquish ME by BTL Aesthetics  Vanquish me is an entirely different approach, and we refer to it as ‘debunking’ or removing that larger area of fat typically around the waist. Typically reducing a waistline by as much as 2 inches! You can read more about that here 

Being able to take different approaches to different body types enables a provider to be extremely adaptable.  

So let’s assume that you fir the perfect profile of a Coolsculpting patient. The next question is ‘What can I do to maximize my outcomes?’

  • Avoid Clinics that are focused on throughput.
  • Focus on clinics that are Physician Directed. 
  • Look for a clinic that has an accredited Coolsculpting Master 
  • Look for a patient centred approach 
  • Ask what outcomes procedures the clinic has?

A Patient Centred Approach

The Outcomes Consult

Technology. Expertise. Care

Motivating change

The final key, is to support the mood for change in patients, which also helps to optimize the treatments, but more importantly ensures that we engage at that moment of investment in ourselves. We have found that key Nutritional coaching post treatment really focuses clients on maintaining their figures, and adopting an even healthier lifestyle.

We strongly believe that clients should not pay extra for Zwave or Nutrional Coaching. In our mind, they are key elements of the process that invests in the patient as much as they are investing in themselves.
