Discover CoolSculpting, the Non-Surgical Alternative to Liposuction
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical way of reducing unwanted fat cells by up to 40%. Thanks to this FDA-approved fat-freezing treatment, you can freeze your fat away! CoolSculpting is a completely non-surgical treatment, an alternative to liposuction, meaning there are no knives, needles, anesthetics, and virtually no downtime. Many of us have stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t shift despite all our attempts through diet and exercise. For women, these troublesome areas are usually located around the stomach, back and bra fat, upper arms, and inner and outer thighs. For men, fat cells tend to accumulate around the chin, chest, flanks/sides, and abdomen.
What Exactly is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells. It is based on fat freezing or Cryolipolysis, the proven science that effectively freezes and eliminates fat cells in targeted areas of the body. CoolSculpting works by safely delivering precisely controlled cooling to gently target the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the surrounding area unaffected. The procedure involves a machine with two cooling panels that gently suction the tissue and initiate controlled fat freezing. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues, which means the skin is not affected. The treated fat cells are frozen (crystallized), and they then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells through the lymphatic system, leaving visible and long-lasting results.
Is the Treatment Painful?
At the start of the treatment, the machine is applied to the area, and you will feel a suction sensation, with pulling and pressure on the skin. As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold in the area. It can feel a little strange, but this subsides within a few moments. The area generally goes numb within 5 to 10 minutes during treatment. It’s important to remain still during the treatment to prevent the suction panels from becoming dislodged. After the treatment, you may feel some slight discomfort, a tingling sensation like the feeling of pins and needles as the area is massaged for 2 or 3 minutes. This massaging is necessary to ensure the fat cells begin to break down. In general, the treatment will take about an hour, but it depends on the area being treated and the number of areas being treated.
When Should I See the Results?
The effects of CoolSculpting are not visible immediately after treatment as it will take time for your body to break down the fat cells. In the weeks and months after your treatment, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells. You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment, and you will notice the most dramatic results after 2 months. Your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
Am I Suited to CoolSculpting?
Good candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. The treatment is not for people who are obese and looking to drastically lose weight. CoolSculpting is not about weight loss; it is catered more toward people who are looking to contour their body and lose inches in specific areas where body fat is problematic. CoolSculpting is designed to help create a more sculpted and contoured you!
