Different from weight loss efforts, body sculpting is for women who want to re-shape specific portions of their body by addressing exercise- and diet-resistant pockets of fat. Your total number of fat cells is pre-determined by your genes. Following puberty, that total number of fat cells reaches its peak then remains stable.  As you gain or lose weight, your body shape remains the same but gets larger or smaller where you have the greatest concentration of fat cells. For this reason, you cannot “control” where you lose weight when you diet or exercise.  Body sculpting, on the other hand, enables you to target problem areas (wide hips, tummy pooch, flabby arms) that linger no matter how much weight you lose or how many reps you do in the gym.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia and a lengthy, painful recovery process (changing of bandages and drains, bed rest, limited physical activity for up to six weeks, potential for scarring and internal damage). Despite the immediate, dramatic volume of fat removed (5 to 8L in one procedure), it can take up to six months for the effects to become fully visible. By contrast, CoolSculpting Elite requires no anesthesia, needles or knives, has little to no downtime, and effects are fully visible within three to four months. Results of both procedures are permanent since fat cells do not regenerate, but weight gain post liposuction can lead to uneven distribution of fat pockets in other parts of the body (i.e., it can appear that fat is moving to other parts of your body).

Our programs complement use of semaglutide and trizepitide, and we are happy to connect you with a reputable, licensed provider who can help you determine if one of these therapies is right for you. We have observed a few challenges that emerge for women who lose weight with Wegovy or Mounjaro:

• Often paid for out of pocket, these products are expensive ($500/month on average) and require a weekly injection, either at home or traveling to a medical office. The expense and inconvenience make long-term use challenging for many women. However, when women stop taking the therapy, the weight (and then some) comes back because they didn’t make the necessary lifestyle changes to sustain their weight loss.

• Weight loss induced by these therapies can be sudden and dramatic. While pounds of visceral fat disappear, stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat (which is determined by genetics, not diet) can still leave them frustrated with unwanted bulges.

Formed Body Sculpting specializes in helping menopausal women lose both pounds and inches and keeping them off for good. We do this through our propriety 12 Weeks transFORMED program and CoolSculpting Elite, which we frequently use in conjunction with semaglutide or trizepitide to help women achieve their mid-life body confidence goals.

Human bodies are able to tolerate more aggressive levels of cold than heat. CoolSculpting Elite is therefore able to freeze off more fat cells with its targeted applicator than EmSculpt Neo is able to burn off with high-intensity focused electromagnetic fields. CoolSculpting Elite kills 25% of fat cells in the treated area while EmSculpt Neo only eliminates 15% of the fat cells in a treated area.

The scientific term for CoolSculpting is cryolipolysis, which literally means “freezing fat.” Your practitioner will place a specialized medical device known as a CoolSculpting applicator on the targeted area of unwanted fat. Your skin is protected from the freezing effects by a gel pad while your unwanted fat is suctioned up into the concave applicator using a light vacuum effect. The device then cools to below freezing temperatures (-11° Celsius) for a pre-defined period of time (35 to 75 minutes depending on the size and shape of area being treated). Fat cells exposed to the freezing temps crystalize and die during the procedure, while the surrounding tissue is unaffected. Your liver then processes those dead fat cells out of your body as waste over the next three months as part of your natural metabolic process. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, but works to trim inches reshape the curves of your body.

Each treatment session destroys 20-25% of treated fat cells. Some clients achieve their goals with a single session, while others choose to repeat sessions on the same area to further enhance their initial results. On average, clients reach their desired results with two sessions per targeted area.

The fat cells destroyed by CoolSculpting Elite do not regenerate, so the results are considered permanent. However, weight gain and loss can still occur in response to your lifestyle. A healthy diet and exercise routine can help you keep your best results for the longest time.

The practitioners at Formed Body Sculpting carry the highest level of training available for CoolSculpting Elite, which is the Masters certification from CoolSculpting manufacturer AbbVie.

CoolSculpting Elite is best suited for women within 30 pounds of their ideal body weight because it more precisely shows the impact of visceral vs. subcutaneous fat on your body shape. Other pre-existing medical conditions (click here to learn more) may make certain clients ineligible for treatment. If present, these conditions will be reviewed in your consultation. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should not be treated.

Because CoolSculpting Elite is non-invasive (no scalpels, no needles) and requires no anesthesia, there is no downtime. You can resume normal activities, including exercise, the moment you leave your procedure. From there, the only recommended after care is a standard healthy lifestyle (just as would be recommended in the absence of this procedure).

You can expect to see noticeable results as early as a few weeks, and until three to four months following your treatment. In some cases, your body may continue to flush out fat for up to six months.

Once the applicator is applied to your treatment area(s), you may feel an intense, chilly sensation, which passes after a few minutes and the area goes numb. During treatment, you may experience mild pinching or pulling sensations. Most clients describe momentary, mild discomfort. However, individual pain thresholds vary, meaning that some women feel more discomfort than others. The most uncomfortable part of the procedure is usually the post-treatment massage, which is conducted as soon as the applicator comes off to optimize crystallization and subsequent death of fat cells. In the days following treatment, you may also notice some tenderness or light bruising, but any related swelling should subside within a week or two.

Only if you want to be! CoolSculpting Elite is non-invasive, so clients do not have to stay still during treatment. Many clients enjoy reading, watching their favorite on-demand series on our big screen TV, or even napping while being treated. Others use the time to catch up on work and type away on their laptop throughout the procedure.

Minor redness or pain may develop in the treated area but should resolve within a few weeks. You may also notice some swelling, soreness or bruising in the treated areas. If you experience numbness or tingling in a treated area, these sensations are also typical and will fade with time. CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared, and more than 14 million procedures have been performed to date. Compared to surgical procedures such as liposuction, the risks of CoolSculpting are modest. Rare side effects may happen in 0.01% to 0.1% of those treated, including the possibility a visible enlargement in the treated area; however, this is extremely uncommon and correctable at no cost to you.

12 Weeks transFORMED provides education on the overall health benefits of intermittent fasting, incorporates gradual adoption of small habits so that they build to bigger, lasting changes, and frees you from daily carb or calorie counting. Rather than focusing on how to lose weight, this program teaches you how to reach and maintain a healthy weight, for good.

This program was designed specifically for women entering, experiencing or exiting menopause. During this phase of physical (hot flashes, poor sleep, weight gain) and emotional (mood swings) change, many women feel like giving up on looking and feeling fit because "it's just part of getting older” to go up a dress size every few years. Even more frustrating, the countless diets and exercise regimens used to trim your waist in past decades no longer work as fast or effectively, leading to feelings of hopelessness of ever feeling sexy or vivacious again. But with 12 Weeks transFORMED you can be full of energy and excitement about how great you look and feel! Imagine being amazed at how your attitude has reversed, now viewing your body as better than ever and ready to enjoy every aspect of life to the fullest. Imagine you, happily looking forward, not lamenting the past.

12 Weeks transFORMED was created by a 46-year-old woman in the pit of body despair – stuck hating her peri-menopausal shape and the fat that crept up slowly but steadily as menopause set in. After years of wallowing in self-pity, she decided enough was enough. She fought back and found a way out of that hole of self-loathing and forged a path to regaining and maintaining what she terms “later in life body confidence.” As friends peppered her with questions about how to restore energy and vitality while shedding inches and pounds, it became her mission to formalize and share her methodology with other women feeling the same frustration and shame from unwanted menopausal fat.
