Unwanted Fat

What Are Unwanted Fat Treatments?

Unwanted fat treatments focus on reducing overall weight AND localized fat deposits in problem areas without surgery. Two of the most popular treatments available at AesthetiCare include CoolSculpting and Kybella. Both methods are FDA-approved, safe, and offer noninvasive solutions for individuals looking to reduce stubborn fat.

Weight Loss programs include medical intervention, supplementation and nutritional guidance designed to work with your body and lifestyle. Reduce overall fat and become healthier overall.

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary procedure that freezes fat cells using controlled cooling. The body naturally eliminates these cells, resulting in permanent fat reduction in the treated areas.

Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys targeted excess fat cells under the chin. It uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat, which is then metabolized by the body.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

At AesthetiCare, we understand that each patient’s journey to achieving their desired body shape is a private and personal one. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your areas of concern and discuss all of your body goals.

Next, we’ll create your customized treatment plan, which may include one or more treatments, depending on your target areas. You’ll also receive a thorough explanation of what to realistically expect, including the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results.

Recovery Time + Side Effects

• CoolSculpting: Patients may experience temporary numbness, redness or swelling in the treated area for up to a few days. Some individuals may also notice slight discomfort or tenderness.
• Kybella: After Kybella treatments, patients may experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness under the chin. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a week. Cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers help mitigate discomfort.

Both CoolSculpting and Kybella offer the advantage of minimal downtime. They are both also well-tolerated with minimal reported side effects.

Results: What You Can Expect

The results of CoolSculpting and Kybella are not immediate but develop gradually as the body processes the treated fat cells. Here’s what you can expect from each treatment:

• CoolSculpting: You’ll begin to notice results within a few weeks after treatment, with full results becoming visible in 2-3 months. As the body continues eliminating fat cells, you’ll see a slimmer, more toned appearance in the treated areas. The results of CoolSculpting are long-lasting, as the eliminated fat cells do not return, and a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
• Kybella: Improvements in the chin area will become noticeable after 2-4 treatments. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, offering long-lasting results for individuals who maintain a stable weight.
