FAQ

Why HCHS MedSpa?

After hands-on training and the meticulous delivery of successful CoolSculpting procedures, providers Harry Condoleon, DO, and Jennifer Rosenmeyer, DNP, ARNP, discovered a disconnect in the industry.

Fat reduction is more than a transformation in the physical sense of self. It affects other aspects of the human condition. Fat loss ignites confidence that can lead to greater self-esteem, self-awareness and self-empowerment and most times, self-care. HCHS looks at each person with individualized goals and provides a plan of care.

Through experience, our team knows how significant a private, personalized approach to fat reduction is for the individual and the positive impact made and shared after physical and emotional transformation occurs.

With careful consideration Bodify was borne—where niche philosophy and artful technology meet to provide non-invasive, lasting fat reduction to support and strengthen perception of self.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary technology that uses a precisely controlled cooling method called Cryolipolysis which targets, cools and eliminates fat cells. After a CoolSculpting procedure the body continues to break down the treated fat cells, now in a crystallized or frozen state, leading to fat cell death. Over the next two to four months they are naturally flushed from the body.

Does CoolSculpting provide a lasting solution?

Yes. The CoolSculpting procedure is designed to target and destroy fat cells in the treated area. Diet, exercise and other “fat loss” procedures may shrink fat cells, leaving an open opportunity to increase the size of those same fat cells from a lifestyle shift. The body will not remake the fat cells that were destroyed and flushed out of the system with CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting does not shrink fat cells, it destroys fat cells. Although CoolSculpting enables fat loss, clients of Bodify are urged to maintain proper diet and exercise during and after their treatment program to maximize their results. Once fat cells are removed from the body, they are gone; however, the remaining fat cells can expand or shrink with diet and exercise behaviors.

Is CoolSculpting a weight loss procedure?

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment: it is an inch loss procedure based on the reduction of fat. Fat does not weigh very much but it does take up space. During follow up visits after a CoolSculpting procedure, Bodify clients often say their clothes fit better, their pants hang looser, their bra digs less into the back, and their self-esteem has lifted as a result of fat loss.

What does a CoolSculpting treatment feel like?

Anything related to touch and feel is subjective which, in turn, dictates different responses from client to client. The best way to describe a level of expectation on how the experience feels is to state that each treatment and each area treated can prompt varied sensations.

Clients describe the treatments as encompassing light-to-mild and tolerable levels of discomfort. Some experience tightness and cramping at the treatment site area(s). Others express feeling numbing, stinging, itchiness or cramping at the site area(s) in the days or weeks after the treatment but nothing bothersome during the procedure.

Although the sensations associated with each procedure may differ, a consistent resolution exists.

Why CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, highly effective and safe procedure with no downtime. Its benefits compared to other methods of fat reduction are many. For example, the CoolSculpting process is natural. Immediately after each treatment, clients can go about their regular routine. There is no disruption to work schedules or family obligations because there is no post-procedure recovery period.

Through CoolSculpting, clients receive life-changing transformation that is visible to others through results.

Is it safe?

CoolSculpting requires no needles, no incisions and is FDA cleared. The procedure destroys the targeted fat cells only and does not damage the skin or any other organs. It is a safe procedure.

What results can I expect?

Clients will realize a reduction in the fat layer of the treated areas within two to four months after the procedure. After the fat cells undergo a natural cell death, through crystallization during the actual treatment, the process of elimination from the body happens over time.

Because the process is gradual, the skin has an opportunity to adjust and restore elasticity. In addition, the cold-infusion stimulates both collagen and elastin production to help tighten the skin at the treatment area(s).

What area(s) of my body can I treat?

CoolSculpting targets stubborn body fat in the areas that are most resistant to change: upper and lower abdomen, back fat, muffin tops, love handles, inner thighs, saddlebags, man boobs, buttocks, knees, arms, and chins!

Am I a candidate for the treatment?

Designed for individuals who have diet and exercise resistant fat, CoolSculpting is ideal for those within 5 to 35 pounds of their target weight. If you are frustrated with stubborn fat and want to shed inches, CoolSculpting may be the answer.

Many individuals who fall outside of the target weight range begin with a diet and exercise plan. As they begin to lose weight and get closer to the target weight range, CoolSculpting can be an integral part of the overall plan to look and feel better and improve confidence.

Is this only for women?

No. Men and women choose non-invasive aesthetic procedures to help them look and feel better. Body fat, the desire to remove it and the treatment is not gender-specific. Best of all, the treatment visits are done in confidence.
