Are you trying to eliminate that stubborn fat that refuses to go away no matter how much you diet and exercise? CoolSculpting® may help. A lot has been said about this non-invasive fat-elimination treatment and its effectiveness. But is it suitable for you? And is it just as effective as others claim it to be? In this blog post, we will explore CoolSculpting, the power of this method, and whether it’s for you at all.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting lasts 35 minutes to an hour and is an innovative non-surgical body sculpting treatment that kills unwanted belly fat in different areas using carefully modulated cooling. This latest frozen contouring technology can selectively reduce fat layers in problem areas, such as love handles, bypassing and destroying body cells. This innovative form of fat freezing invites the body to tackle the treated fat naturally, leading to significant and permanent fat loss.
How does it work?
During the procedure, the CoolSculpting applicator is attached to the targeted area, and the fat is pulled gently between two cooling panels. The sensation is a bit cold, like holding an ice pack against your skin. The treatment can reduce fat cells in the targeted area by up to 25 percent. Results can take anywhere from two weeks to four months to show.
Is it the right choice for you?
The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting is someone who is already at a healthy weight but has stubborn areas of fat. It’s not considered a weight loss solution but instead is a fat reduction treatment. It’s also important to note that CoolSculpting may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions. A consultation with a qualified CoolSculpting provider can help determine if this treatment is proper.
What are the benefits of CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting offers many advantages that distinguish it from other fat-removal treatments. It’s noninvasive, meaning it doesn’t require any cuts or surgery, and it involves minimal downtime, so you can usually return to your daily activities soon after your treatment. Moreover, CoolSculpting is permanent: Once your fat cells are frozen and eliminated, they’re gone for good.
Are there any side effects?
Similar to any medical treatment, there are potential risks associated with CoolSculpting. Patients should be comforted by knowing that these risks are general and temporary. Throughout the procedure, clients might feel a small amount of discomfort or pressure in the zone targeted for CoolSculpting. After the treatment finishes, though, these sensations will subside. It’s also not unusual for patients to feel they’re experiencing minor redness, swelling, or a bruise in the spot where the treatment was done. Still, these are transitional side effects that typically last only a few days.
