As of November 3, 2023, Clarity will no longer be offering CoolSculpting. While we pride ourselves on offering the latest and most effective aesthetic treatments, our space at the Dollhouse is limited. This change will allow us to shift our focus entirely towards anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments for our patients. We appreciate your understanding. — Kati and the Clarity team 

Have you been working out really hard, eating right and no matter what you’ve done, you are left with  areas of fat that just won’t go away. Maybe work, kids, and other committments have kept you from being as active as you like and you’re not happy about what you see in the mirror. Perhaps you’ve heard about CoolSculpting, the worlds #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment and you need some clarity.

At Clarity Medical Aesthetics, we offer CoolSculpting, a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for eliminating areas of unwanted fat simply by freezing the fat away. Despite the fact that over 6 million treatments have been successfully performed worldwide, there is still a lot of misunderstanding about this incredible treatment. We’re here to clear up the confusion and debunk the top five CoolSculpting myths.

1. CoolSculpting is Only for Women

FALSE – CoolSculpting is equally effective for men and women. It is the world’s #1 fat reduction procedure. Over six million treatments have been performed worldwide, on not only women but men as well.

2. CoolSculpting Carries Significant Risks

FALSE. Many people mistakenly think that CoolSculpting carries significant risks. Again, this is FALSE. CoolSculpting is FDA cleared for all treatment areas; abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, double chin, arms, bra fat and banana rolls.

To top it all off, Clarity is a CoolSculpting Certified practice. Why is this important? The ENTIRE staff at Clarity Medical Aesthetics has completed CoolSculpting University “CSU” training at the Zeltiq headquarters (makers of the CoolSculpting device) in Virginia. Completion of this intensive 3-day training program ensures that our patients receive their CoolSculpting treatments from experts. Our patients feel secure that they are receiving the most effective treatment plan to achieve their best results. 

3. CoolSculpting is Only Effective on the Belly

FALSE. The belly is the most common area treated. While CoolSculpting provides excellent results in the belly area, it’s not the only region of the body that can benefit from treatment. If you have stubborn areas of fat on your abs, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, or you have a double chin, bra fat, love handles, or banana fat (a fat bulge under the butt), CoolSculpting can help. Our CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precise, controlled cooling to target fat cells under the skin and freezes them away, where ever your trouble areas may be.

4. CoolSculpting Hurts

FALSE. CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, nonsurgical treatment designed to get rid of unwanted fat cells. We do not need to administer any injections, no need to apply any anesthetic or make any incisions. Rather than surgery, your fat cells are frozen to death. The body’s own natural processes then get rid of the fat cells, leaving you with a more sculpted appearance. Patients feel an intense cold at the treatment site at first, but then the area goes numb. You may also feel a slight discomfort during the massage after the applicator is removed. The whole procedure is relatively painless throughout.

5. CoolSculpting Requires Significant Downtime

FALSE. Cosmetic treatments often have a reputation for having lengthy downtime. While this may have been true once, when procedures were more invasive, CoolSculpting requires no surgery, no needles, and no anesthesia. Patients are able to return to their normal routine IMMEDIATELY after treatment.
