CoolSculpting®

At Franklin Skin and Laser, we’ve been performing CoolSculpting® treatments for over ten years and are the number one independent provider in the middle Tennessee area. CoolSculpting® is the perfect option if you’re looking for a treatment that painlessly and non-invasively results in noticeable fat reduction. The treatment operates according to a process that Harvard-based scientists discovered and named cryolipolysis.

Cryolipolysis occurs when fat cells are frozen, crystallized, and die. Once fat cells experience cell death, they become bodily waste that must be removed via the lymphatic system. After your treatment, your lymphatic system will respond and gradually eliminate these fat cells as waste. You’ll notice steady improvements and gradual fat reduction in your treatment areas as it does.

A Fat Reduction Treatment

Before you undergo this treatment process, it’s important that you understand exactly what it is. CoolSculpting® is designed for fat reduction, not weight loss. It is a body contouring and sculpting treatment that can help clients sculpt specific areas and eliminate stubborn fat cells that don’t respond to a clean diet, exercise regimen, or even a healthy lifestyle.

Patients who have achieved their desired weight loss goals can schedule treatments to define and fine-tune their bodies, as can those who are already fit yet still have small pockets of stubborn fat, keeping them from reaching their ultimate physique goals. As a body contouring treatment, it works best when paired with a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine.

Maintaining Your Results Long-Term

The results rely on your commitment to a healthy lifestyle since post-treatment weight gain can cause specific fat cells remaining in your treatment area to expand, which will negatively affect your results. Avoiding weight gain after your treatment is the only way to ensure the longevity of your results.

The Treatment Areas

This body contouring treatment can target the most common areas with stubborn fat, but at the same time, it can treat virtually any area of the body. The most common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, jawline, the area beneath the chin, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, back, banana roll at the buttocks, and bra fat.

Dual CoolSculpting®

At our office, we offer an accelerated treatment option called Dual CoolSculpting®. During treatment, two devices with two applicators target different areas of the body simultaneously to cut the treatment time in half. This accelerated treatment option eliminates the need to schedule multiple sessions to target different body areas.

Instead, it enables you to reach your goals by eliminating stubborn fat from separate areas in a single treatment plan. Dual CoolSculpting® is the perfect option for clients with more than one problem area with stubborn fat cells that remain unresponsive to diet and exercise.

Enhancing Your Treatment Results With Skin Tightening Treatments

This treatment is the perfect option for those who want to target and permanently eliminate stubborn fat cells. It doesn’t tighten loose skin but will significantly reduce the total fat volume in the target area. One way we can enhance your treatment results is with our skin-tightening devices.

These devices can stimulate natural collagen and elastin production in the area treated by the CoolSculpting® device. We offer Morpheus 8 and Exilis® treatments that use different techniques to force the body to react with a healing response that will result in tighter, toned and firmer skin.

Enhancing Your Treatment Results With CoolTone® and EMSCULPT®

Excess body fat prevents visible muscle definition. However, if you notice that, as you lose fat, your muscles aren’t as defined as you would like, there is a solution to tighten and tone the muscles in your treatment area, and it doesn’t require that you spend more time in the gym. We also offer CoolTone® and EMSCULPT®, two treatments that use magnetic muscle stimulation to force the muscles into involuntary yet powerful contractions.

These contractions are strong and intense and surpass what your brain could tell your muscles to do in a normal workout. For instance, if you choose to target your abdominal muscles, a single session will be the equivalent of thousands of sit-ups, but you’ll never have to do a single crunch to see those results.

The Benefit of Muscle-Toning Treatments

Scheduling CoolTone® or EMSCULPT® sessions alongside your fat reduction treatment plan enables you to experience maximum results. We can provide you with more details about these treatments at your initial consultation and determine whether you would benefit from adding EMSCULPT® or CoolTone® sessions to your treatment plan.

What To Expect From the Treatment

CoolSculpting® treatments are non-invasive, non-surgical, and virtually painless. You won’t need any topical numbing cream to comfortably experience the treatment but instead can spend your time relaxing, reading, working remotely, or watching TV. Once we situate you in a treatment room, you’ll lie on a comfortable treatment bench, and we will apply the treatment pad to your target area.

As we activate the device, you’ll initially feel an intense cold sensation as the device delivers freezing temperatures to the fat cells. The sensation will subside momentarily, and the treatment area will feel numb. Depending on your ultimate treatment goals, you may benefit from treating one area or multiple during the same session. After your treatment is over, you can resume your daily activities and won’t have to plan around any downtime.
