A Comprehensive Look at CoolSculpting

While healthy living, encompassing a balanced diet and regular exercise, can significantly shape our physique, certain fat pockets might remain resistant. CoolSculpting is designed to target these stubborn areas, using controlled cooling to crystallize and subsequently eliminate fat cells.

The Science Behind CoolSculpting

At the heart of CoolSculpting is the principle of cryolipolysis. Fat cells, compared to other cells in the body, are more vulnerable to cold temperatures. By precisely targeting these cells, the treatment ensures that they crystallize and undergo a natural death. Over time, the body processes and eliminates these dead cells, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.

The CoolSculpting Experience

The procedure commences with a protective gel pad applied to the target area. The CoolSculpting device is then placed, drawing the fatty tissue into an applicator cup. Patients typically feel an intense cold initially, which soon dissipates as the area numbs. Each session lasts about 35-60 minutes per treated area, during which patients can relax, read, or even nap.

Post-Procedure Journey

Unlike invasive surgeries, CoolSculpting requires minimal to no downtime. Some transient redness, swelling, or mild discomfort can occur but generally subsides within days. Optimal results become noticeable in about 1-3 months post-treatment as the body continues to flush out the crystallized fat cells.

Safety and Efficacy

CoolSculpting, being FDA-approved, boasts an impressive safety record. Side effects, if any, are typically mild and temporary. The treatment yields a 20-25% fat reduction in the targeted areas, creating noticeable, natural-looking results.

Complementary Treatments

To achieve a holistic rejuvenation and body transformation, patients might opt to combine CoolSculpting with other treatments like skin tightening procedures, muscle toning therapies, or even treatments like hormone replacement for overall well-being.

CoolSculpting, in the landscape of aesthetic medicine, symbolizes the confluence of science, art, and patient-centric care. At the Women’s Health Group, led by Dr. Awad, our commitment is not merely to transform bodies but to enhance the overall quality of life. Through a blend of state-of-the-art technologies, individualized strategies, and a genuine understanding of patient aspirations, we aspire to shape not just silhouettes but also the confidence and self-assuredness that come with feeling good in one’s skin.

Dr. Michael M. Awad

Dr. Michael “Mike” Awad is a second-generation OB/GYN who followed in his father’s footsteps. From a young age, he knew he wanted to become a physician after watching his father build lasting relationships with his patients. Today, Dr. Awad has the unique privilege of caring for—and even delivering the babies of—women his father once delivered himself.

Dr. Awad completed his undergraduate education at Loyola University Chicago, followed by post-baccalaureate research at Harvard Medical School. He earned his medical degree from Midwestern University and completed his residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Loyola University Medical Center.

Dr. Awad loves the practice of obstetrics and gynecology and the relationships he develops with his patients. His philosophy is simple: meet every patient where she is, listen carefully, and make sure she feels understood and confident in her care. He believes exceptional medicine means going beyond the diagnosis to explain options, answer questions, and individualize treatment.

His clinical approach begins with a core principle: the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. His areas of focus include endometriosis, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, abnormal bleeding, and high-risk obstetrics.

As a skilled robotic gynecologic surgeon, Dr. Awad emphasizes minimally invasive treatment while recognizing that surgery is not always the first or only option. In obstetrics, he provides individualized care for both routine and high-risk pregnancies, with an emphasis on continuity and close physician involvement.

At Women’s Health Group, Dr. Awad has built his practice around the same values that inspired him growing up: clinical excellence, accessibility, trust, and long-term relationships with patients and their families.
