Who is the Coolsculpting 4 Inch Petite Applicator For and How Does It Work
Caitlin
Hi, I’m Caitlin at Quintessa. I do all of our CoolSculpting here in our Macron location. I also am an Allergan Medical Institute faculty member, and I do go around the country and travel and train other practices on the CoolSculpting technology and how to use it.
I’m going to be going through some of our applicators here today. This one that I’m going to be starting with is our CoolAdvantage Petite applicator. This is our little mini version of the other applicators. It’s four inches long.
It’s a really nice applicator because what it does is it fits in little areas, little pockets of fat that we can’t get with the other applicators because the applicators are too big. So it’s really meant for more of a petite patient. But the tissue gets drawn up into the cup with a vacuum suction.
With the aluminum plate inside there, it gets down to about negative 11 degrees Celsius. That’s the cooling needed to kill those fat cells permanently. This is the newest applicator of all of them. It’s been about two years out on the market now. We were one of the first ones in Wisconsin to get it. So that was pretty exciting, but it really opened our eyes to what types of patients we could treat.
Like I said, for more petite patients who couldn’t get other areas done because the applicators were just too big, this one just fits just right. So, it’s a really great applicator. You can put it on any pinchable fat. So if you can pinch it, we’re able to treat it. But honestly, you can put this applicator anywhere on the body. It’s a great applicator.
The tissue will freeze for about 35 minutes inside of this cup. That’s the time needed to permanently kill those fat cells. After that 35 minutes, those fat cells are then dead. So you go about normal daily activity. There’s really little to no pain or downtime.
It’s just going to feel like a bruised sensation, like you didn’t intend to work out or something in that area. It’s really not bad at all. You can go about normal daily activity right away. So that’s what’s so great about it.
If you want to set up a consultation with me, you can go to our website at mycontessa.com. And the consultation is complimentary, but we can go ahead and make sure you’re a candidate for the treatment. And you can come up with a treatment plan with me. See you soon.
