Coolsculpting is an innovative fat reduction procedure that is quickly becoming one of the most popular aesthetics treatments among those looking to get rid of their stubborn fat without surgery or significant recovery times. With Coolsculpting, the entire body can be contoured while you relax.
Coolsculpting works by using a process called cryolipolysis, or “Freeze Fat”. It uses a precise cooling method to target and freeze fat cells. During the treatment, cooling panels are applied to the target area which gently penetrate deep beneath your skin and reduce the temperature of fat cells. This action triggers cells to release fat, triggering apoptosis, or cell death. These released fat cells are then removed from the body through natural elimination processes.
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis, with little discomfort and no downtime needed for post-treatment care. It usually takes about an hour, but can last up to two hours depending on the size of the area being treated. There are no incisions or recovery time, but you may experience some mild bruising, redness, and swelling after the Coolsculpting session. Results can be seen within a month or two and should be fully visible within three months.
Some studies have shown that Coolsculpting can reduce fat by up to 25%, leading to dramatic body contouring. In addition to being effective in reducing stubborn fat, this treatment also helps to increase collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin. It has been FDA-approved and is safe to use on most areas of the body.
Coolsculpting is a great way to get rid of stubborn fat without the cost, risk, and recovery times of surgery. With treatments lasting only an hour, results beginning to show in as little as two months, and no side effects, it’s no wonder Coolsculpting has become such a popular solution among those wanting to get rid of those hard-to-shift fat deposits without the need for invasive surgery.
