We’ve Some Big News! Introducing Bense Body!
CoolSculpting® is an innovative, non-invasive, and non-surgical treatment that contours your body by freezing away unwanted fat. CoolSculpting® delivers controlled cooling that gently and effectively targets the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and die. Your body over time naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you. CoolSculpting® is a safe and effective fat reduction treatment that was first approved by Health Canada in 2008. CoolSculpting® involves minimal downtime, with most patients returning to regular activities right after treatment. According to Coolsculpt, 92% of CoolSculpting® patients are extremely satisfied with their results. Results may vary from patients to patients.
In fact, today CoolSculpting® is the most popular treatment that doctors use when treating excess fat “without surgery.”

How does CoolSculpting® work?
Freeze away fat? It comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. FDA-Cleared CoolSculpting® destroys fat cells through a precise, targeted cooling of fat to 4-5C for 1 hour. Because the fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other types of tissue this controlled cooling is safe and very successful. This difference in freezing temperature allows us to precisely target and freeze your fat cells while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.
These fat cells die once their contents become fully crystallized. Over a period of 2-3 months, your body will dispose of these dead fat cells, naturally slimming the target area.
What can be treated?
CoolSculpting® can reduce fat from nearly every area of your body and these targeted fat cells are eliminated for good. Areas that CoolSculpting® can target stubborn fat in, include:
- Abdomen
- Back fat
- Bra fat
- Inner and outer thigh
- Hips
- Love handles, flank
- Arms
- Male chest
- Under the chin (great effect!)
- Jawline
- Underneath the buttock
CoolSculpting® can reshape your body! We will develop a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan that addresses your specific problem areas. Additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your individualized treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
If you want to target more than one area during a Coolsculpting treatment, please discuss this with our medical team before treatment.
What should I expect from the Coolsculpting Treatment?
CoolSculpting® is not popular just because it is such an effective treatment — it is also one of the easiest, most painless methods to remove unwanted body fat. CoolSculpting® is non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free.
The treatment starts with proper positioning of our specialized cooling device on the area of your body being treated. Each session takes approximately one hour. During the treatment, sit back and relax as your body fat is frozen away. The procedure is so casual that you can spend this time reading, checking emails, even taking a nap.
Because CoolSculpting® is completely non-invasive, you can return to your normal day-to-day activities right after treatment. Major side effects are very rare. Some patients will experience swelling, tingling, or slight bruising following treatment, but these side effects typically fade soon after treatment. Individual results and patient experience may vary.
With just a single CoolSculpting® treatment, you’ll see a measurable improvement in your treated area — the average being 20% to 25% reduction of the fat layer. Individual results may vary patient to patient.
How soon will I see results?
Since it takes time for the destroyed fat cells to dispell from your body, it will be several weeks before you see the results of your CoolSculpting® treatment. Over time, the treated area will become slimmer.
Am I a candidate?
If you are bothered by stubborn fat that you can’t get rid of through exercise and diet, you may be a good candidate. Although it is ideal for anyone who is within 20-30 pounds of their ideal body weight, CoolSculpting® may be suitable for anyone outside that range as well. If you have stubborn fat that bulges, you may be a candidate. At your free consultation with our highly qualified medical consultants, we will determine if CoolSculpting® is the right treatment for you.
Individuals with cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria may not be suitable candidates.
How many sessions do I need?
More than one and likely multiple sessions of this CoolSculpting® procedure is usually what is required. It does depend on how much fat you’d like removed, and how many areas you’d like to treat. Each session destroys 20-25% of the fat cells in a targeted area. In general, twelve weeks after one treatment will result in a noticeable difference in body contouring and fat reduction. Results and patient experience may vary. Many CoolSculpting® St. John’s patients often sign up for another treatment or two of freezing fat cells, typically done six weeks later.
How much weight loss can I expect?
CoolSculpting® isn’t for weight loss. It’s to sculpt the treated area by destroying fat. You won’t see much difference on the scale, but you will see a huge difference in how you look! Results and patient experience may vary.
Coolsculpting Summary
CoolSculpting® is not an alternative to a healthy lifestyle, and it is not an extreme weight-loss solution. This treatment helps shape and tighten targeted areas of your body that are resistant to diet and exercise.The ideal Coolsculpting candidates have realistic goals for the treatment, they are at or near their ideal body weight, and are not sensitive to cold temperatures.
Contraindications also include any individual who does not have enough localized fat, who might be pregnant, have any inflammatory lesions, skin cancers or infected lesions in the desired areas of treatment. BMI is ideally less than 30.
A note on anti-inflammatory medications. Please avoid anti-inflammatory medications during recovery, as they interfere with the fat reduction process that occurs after treatment. The fat cells that have been crystallized (frozen) need to be digested by other cells in the area, if you take anti-inflammatory medication, this process is interrupted, and you won’t get the results you want.
