“From my first call to my final result my experience was 5 star.”
—River Medical Client on Coolsculpting
“If you want the best Coolsculpting treatment in Ireland, I can highly recommend the expert team at River Medical. From my first call to my final result my experience was 5 star. They listened my concerns and carefully designed a plan suit me to help me achieve my goals. I felt safe each step of my journey, knowing they had treated thousands of people before me. My consultation was detailed, and my medical history was checked to make sure was the right candidate. I am thrilled with my results! I had two sessions on my lower abdomen, 6 weeks apart. I train three times a week, have a healthy diet, but had a pocket of fat that wasn't going anywhere. Since my treatment my stomach is much flatter, my dresses and trousers sit better! Thank you so much!! I feel more confident with my body now than ever before. ”
An applicator is simply applied to the skin’s surface to deliver precisely controlled cooling to the area, a method referred to as “Cryolipolysis” which targets, cools fat cells in the area to -11C. As the fat cells are exposed to this precise cooling, the cells begin a process of natural fat-cell removal and are gradually eliminated through the body’s normal metabolic process. This process takes 8 weeks to complete. This non-invasive treatment can reduce fat cells by up to 27% per session within the treated area.
CoolSculpting is non-invasive and does not involve surgery. Liposuction is a surgical procedure which involves suctioning litres of fat in area being treated, usually done under general anaesthetic.
CoolSculpting does not require you to take time off work as there is very little downtime. It is safe, low risk and carries minimal side effects. Liposuction may require you to take 3-5days off work (depending on how many areas being treated). There may be more side effects such as pain, tenderness, bruising and inflammation to tissues.
Depending on how many areas are being treated, treatment time will vary (but that will be known to you on day on consultation). We advise wearing comfortable and breathable clothing. Once you arrive we will offer you a tea/coffee, you will be given your consent form to read and sign.
The nurse will bring you up to the treatment room, we will take your photographs for your medical file (these will not be used publicly). We will mark out the treatment areas and then get you to sit comfortable on the clinical bed. Any belongings can we brought with you i.e. phone, headphones, book etc – we also have a flat screen TV with Netflix so you can watch any show comfortably as your treatment continues. Food is provided by the clinic if you so wish, especially for treatments exceeding 3 hours.
We will prep and clean the skin, applying either gel or a gel pad over the treated area to protect the skin. The applicator is applied, and straps to keep you secure and comfortable, then the cooling will commence. The applicator is then removed once completed and a 2 minute massage is done to help break down the fat cells further. The applicator is reapplied onto separate area ( if other areas need to be done).
We can treat most body areas:
Tummy, flanks, bra rolls, male chest, arms, flanks, banana roll, inner thighs and knees
We can also treat fat underneath the chin (the submental) – double chins.
That will depend on what the nurse advises on the day of your consultation but also on what your expected treatment outcomes are. Generally speaking we always recommend a minimum of 2 sessions.
Results usually take up to 8 weeks.
You should not need to take time off work after the procedure. There is very little downtime – generally most people will feel tenderness, swelling, numbess and bruising.
The simple answer is no – once the fat the fat cells are treated they die, and are naturally excreted by the body. Your body will not compensate for the fat cells that are lost – so once they’re gone they’re gone!
