Before and After Photos
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is the brand name for cryolipolysis, the science of freezing fat cells.[1] The concentrated cold delivered via a CoolSculpting device infiltrates the adipose layers of fat lining your "problem areas" without harming the skin or muscles surrounding them.[2] It is a complex biological process that requires the depth of knowledge you would demand from a licensed physician.
Even though CoolSculpting devices are designed to work their magic in an automated manner, it is important to understand said magic. Only by thoroughly studying the field of cryolipolysis can one communicate its underlying scientific benefits.
While many med spas offer CoolSculpting, it is essential that they are accredited and experienced. Dr. Kothakota has endured the rigors of medical school, emerging as one of the brightest stars in the Los Angeles medical community. Why take chances with lesser equipped CoolSculpting practitioners when you can reap the rewards of Dr. Kothakota's years of experience and unparalleled expertise?
Benefits of Visiting Dr. CoolSculpting
A medical degree speaks volumes. It separates those with a passing interest in healthcare from those who have spent thousands of hours honing their skills and knowledge. Dr. Kothakota's passion for improvement sets him apart from casual medical observers. A CoolSculpting session at Self Care LA is an appointment with excellence.
- If you have spent endless hours at the gym working your biceps to the bone, yet still haven't seen the progress you want, then you should consider CoolSculpting for arms. Under Dr. Kothakota's guidance, you can shape the upper body of your dreams!
- Banana rolls and love handles (flanks) often escape the benefits of diet and exercise. Dr. Kothakota can apply his medical expertise to helping you find the right cosmetic solution to assist your healthcare regimen. CoolSculpting may be just what the doctor ordered!
- For excess fat stores along the thighs and knees, Dr. Kothakota can prescribe the right prescription for slimming and trimming with CoolSculpting.
- Men with enlarged breasts may have a condition called gynecomastia. Dr. Kothakota can explain the medical causes of gynecomastia to his clients and administer CoolSculpting for the chest as a possible treatment.
- The tummy is often the most difficult area to maintain. With Dr. Kothakota's help, abdominal CoolSculpting can freeze away the fat that obscures your natural curves and/or six-pack abs!
Am I an Eligible Candidate? Ask the Doctor!
If you have excess fat deposits and want a doctor's opinion regarding the best non-surgical ways to contour your body, then Self Care LA is your ideal destination. You can maintain your peace of mind when you share your medical records with a licensed physician.
Dr. Kothakota can study your history with the eye of a true expert and make sure that you are eligible for a CoolSculpting transformation.
For example, if you struggle with a condition known as Raynaud's syndrome, your lymphatic system may not be able to handle the influx of waste triggered by an extensive CoolSculpting session.[3] Dr. Aggarwal has the depth of knowledge to delve into your medical history thoroughly and decisively. If there is any reason why you should not be receiving CoolSculpting treatments, Dr. Kothakota will inform you of his findings and devise an alternate solution to your body contouring issues.

Dr. Kothakota will help determine how many treatments you may require. Healthcare is an active conversation. How your body responds to your fist CoolSculpting session will inform Dr. Kothakota how best to proceed. Start the conversation by contacting our Los Angeles office at your earliest convenience.
Doctor Guided Recovery
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure. You can resume your daily activities immediately following a treatment session. While these are some of the many wonderful traits associated with CoolSculpting technology, they must not be taken for granted.
Some patients may experience minor bruising at the site where their skin makes contact with the CoolSculpting applicator. This is normal, but you may have medical questions regarding the alleviation of any slight irritation you experience. Dr. Kothakota can explain the science of healthy skin and how to properly treat minor bruises and swelling.
In terms of the ongoing process through which your body flushes away frozen fat cells, it helps to have a doctor at the helm. Most med spa personnel merely tell you that the fat cells are "gone," but you may wonder where exactly they go? Dr. Kothakota can reward your curiosity with a comprehensive discussion of the lymphatic system and how it functions.
If your medical history includes any indication that you are not ready to properly process waste material such as frozen fat cells, then Dr. Kothakota wants to know this information. CoolSculpting may not be right for you, and you deserve an accomplished medical professional to make the ultimate determination about your optimal cosmetic enhancements.
