CoolSculpting®
Non-surgical options for eliminating localized areas of fat are limited, but that is exactly what CoolSculpting® offers. Now you can sculpt your body without any scarring or downtime. Dr. Anh Vu offers CoolSculpting® to men and women living in the St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach areas.
What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary, FDA-approved, non-surgical contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, allowing it to be naturally eliminated from your body. This technique delivers incredible body-sculpting results without needles, surgery, or downtime. It’s safe and effective, and it targets only fat cells, leaving surrounding skin and tissue unharmed. CoolSculpting® can be a great alternative to liposuction and is safe for many areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, legs, and arms.

How is CoolSculpting® Performed?
At Anh Vu, M.D., every CoolSculpting® procedure begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans the procedure based on the patient’s aesthetic goals. Because body sculpting procedures can create long-term, life-changing results, he spends substantial time discussing the procedure with the patient to ensure they achieve the results they want. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during the procedure, which involves applying a gel pad and applicator to the targeted area. Then, the CoolSculpting® applicator delivers controlled cooling energy to the targeted fat cells. This may cause a cold sensation in the skin, but is overall quite comfortable. This treatment can last up to an hour, depending on the size of the area treated, although patients often find they can relax and even read or take a nap during treatment.
What Can I Expect After My CoolSculpting® Treatment?
Since CoolSculpting® is non-surgical, there is rarely any downtime after the treatment. In fact, many patients can return to work and other normal activities immediately after their appointment. Some patients may experience redness or swelling in the treated areas, but this typically fades within a few days. During the treatment, CoolSculpting® instantly destroys fat cells in the body. However, it can take a few weeks for the body to naturally process and eliminate these dead cells. For this reason, results may take a couple of weeks to appear, with full results typically noticeable around three months after treatment. Some patients may choose to have multiple CoolSculpting® sessions to achieve their desired results.
How Long Do the Results from CoolSculpting® Last?
When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, CoolSculpting® results can last for years and look completely natural. This treatment permanently destroys targeted fat cells, but it cannot prevent the body from re-accumulating fat, so patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment.
