CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

Drs. Carruthers and Dr. Humphrey are pleased to offer the CoolSculpting™ Procedure in Vancouver, a non-invasive method of tissue cooling to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of your body.

First approved as a machine to chill skin so it was numb enough for surgery, the lipolytic ( fat destroying) properties were a secondary discovery. Now approved in both Canada and the USA for lipolysis of abdomen, back, love handles, thighs and banana rolls .

How it Works

The CoolSculpting Procedure gently freezes the fat but not the overlying skin. The freeze causes the fat cells to die.  There is about 25 percent localized fat loss with each treatment – particularly helpful for subjects who have a “muffin top”, love handles, back fat, banana roll, upper arm and upper thigh fat. We have different sized applicators so we can fit each area that requires treatment.  The procedure is comfortable and non-invasive in fact, during the procedure, patients read, work on their laptop computers, listen to music, or just relax.

Recovery from CoolSculpting

Most subjects can go right back to their normal activities that day.  After the treatment we see the patients back in 2 months for photographic analysis of the reduction and treatment of the same or another area if desired.

The Results

In properly selected patients, the non-invasive CoolSculpting™ Procedure results in a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges in two to four months, without the pain, risk, and recovery time of invasive procedures. The CoolSculpting™ Procedure is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity, and it is not a substitute for more invasive methods like liposuction.
