Question 1

Q1. How long does a CoolSonic treatment take?

Accepted Answer

It varies depending on the treatment area and the number of shots, but it generally takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Due to the nature of the pen-type cartridge, it can be performed faster than existing HIFU equipment when administered by a skilled doctor, and it is also easy to combine with other procedures.

Question 2

Q2. Can I get Coolsonic and Thermage at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can be performed concurrently. Cool sonic (targeting ultrasound and SMAS layer) and Thermage (targeting radiofrequency and dermis layer) use different types of energy and act at different depths, so they can be performed on the same day or with a time interval between them, at the discretion of a dermatologist. However, you must consult with your doctor before making a decision.

Question 3

Q3. Can I wear makeup immediately after a CoolSculpting treatment?

Accepted Answer

Light makeup is possible immediately after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid harsh products as the skin may be temporarily sensitive on the day of the procedure. Be sure to apply sunscreen.

Question 4

Q4. How many Coolsonic treatments are needed for them to be effective?

Accepted Answer

Some people feel a difference after just one treatment, but it depends on your skin condition and the degree of sagging. We generally recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months. It's better to approach this as part of consistent care rather than expecting a 'complete" result after a single session, as this leads to higher satisfaction.

Question 5

Q5. Can men also get CoolSculpting treatments?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Male patients also frequently seek treatments for jawline contouring, double chin reduction, and overall skin elasticity improvement. Male skin tends to have a thicker dermis, so the energy settings may need to be adjusted differently. Therefore, it is best to consult directly with a dermatologist.
