Dr Bodian is the first doctor on Long Island to offer quad sculpting and dual sculpting with the newest technology, CoolSculpt Elite.  Our "Cool Team" has frozen away the most fat cells in Long Island.   Advanced CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical fat cell reduction procedure created to sculpt and contour the body by freezing stubborn fat cells. The technology includes the use of controlled cooling, also known as cryolipolysis, to freeze fat cells so they may be naturally removed from your body to reveal a slimmer physique. At Bodian Dermatology in Great Neck, NY, we offer the newest CoolSculpt Elite, to help you naturally look great in a bathing suit or shorts. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Adam Bodian to learn more and find out is cryolipolysis with CoolSculpting is right for you.

For our Great Neck, NY individuals who are up for a change to areas of excess fat that are invulnerable to alternative types of approaches, like diet and exercise, CoolSculpting at Bodian Dermatology and Medical Day Spa is a great treatment solution to explore that offers many advantages, such as:

• Natural-looking, stunning outcomes that you should observe nearly immediately
• Removal of unwanted fatty tissue
• FDA-approved, effective, and safe treatment
• No recovery or downtime, in contrast to more invasive procedures like liposuction

Although this procedure has proven beneficial for women and men of varying ages, those who will benefit the most from CoolSculpting:

• Are at or near their ideal weight
• Struggle with difficult areas of fat that do not respond to exercise and diet efforts
• Are not interested in or do not qualify for surgical procedures
• Understand realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure

First our Cool Team will design your treatment plan and then schedule your first procedure. During your appointment, a specialized gel pad and the CoolSculpting handpiece is applied to the decided upon area and cryolipolysis will start. The cooling, delivered through the handpiece, will begin to target and freeze the fat. It is not uncommon to experience coolness at the time of your procedure, but this does not typically create pain. As the CoolSculpting applicator uses suction to move the fat cells into the area to be treated, you will likely experience a small amount of pulling or stinging, but these are normal sensations.

Since CoolSculpting is noninvasive, you can expect to return to daily activities immediately following your treatment. Symptoms of the procedure usually include stinging, redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness of the treatment site. These side effects are temporary and usually fade in the hours and days after your treatment. You should expect to enjoy results in as little as three weeks with the most impressive results appearing 3 - 6 months following your CoolSculpting procedure. For some patients, just one treatment is sufficient while others may need more therapy sessions, depending on the amount of fat loss desired. The total number of treatments will depend on your aesthetic objectives and if you have larger layers of fat in target regions.

Is CoolSculpting safe?
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive, topical procedure where the device is applied to the skin’s surface. With this treatment, there's no need for a recovery period. You might experience some minor swelling and discoloration immediately following treatment, but this typically subsides in about one week.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments needed to attain your desired results will be determined during your consultation at Bodian Dermatology. For some patients, just one treatment is enough, but other patients might require more therapy sessions based on the quantity of fat being addressed. The amount of sessions typically depends on your aesthetic goals and if there are larger layers of fat in target areas.

Can the fat cells grow back?
While the fat cells will not regrow, new fat cells may form. Furthermore, considerable weight gain can greatly influence your results. To keep optimal results, adhering to a proper diet plan and workout regimen is crucial.

Can you get CoolSculpting while pregnant?
CoolSculpting is not recommended during pregnancy. Because the body goes through significant changes during pregnancy, our providers advise waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete before starting body contouring treatments. This helps ensure safety and allows results to be more predictable once weight and hormones have stabilized.

Can I drive myself to and from a CoolSculpting appointment?
Yes. CoolSculpting does not involve anesthesia or sedation, so patients can typically drive themselves to and from their appointment. Most people return to work or normal daily activities right after treatment, though mild numbness or soreness in the treated area is common and usually short-lived.

What’s the best time of year to get CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting can be done year-round, and the best timing often depends on your personal goals. Some patients schedule treatment during cooler months when treated areas are easier to cover, while others plan sessions ahead of vacations or special events. Our team can help you choose the right timing based on when you’d like to see results and how many sessions may be needed.

No body is without flaws, and each of us has things we would love to change, such as specific areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise. Due to technological advances, it is no longer necessary to choose between living with the undesired fat and undergoing liposuction.
