What is CoolSculpting and How Does it Work
CoolSculpting is a cosmetic treatment procedure that freezes the fat cells in targeted regions of your body. Another name for this treatment is cryolipolysis, and just like liposuction, it helps remove difficult body fat. Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure. Therefore there are no anesthetic, surgery, or incisions. Moreover, the fat-freezing procedure is a safe and FDA-approved treatment. So what is CoolSculpting capable of doing for your physique? Read on to find out.
What is CoolSculpting’s Science?
CoolSculpting uses the science of cryolipolysis. It employs freezing temperatures to break down stubborn body fat cells. The cold temperature does not damage any other cells like it does fat cells. Therefore, there is no damage to underlying tissues and skin.
During the treatment, the CoolSculpting practitioner vacuums the fatty tissue area into an applicator to cool the fat cells. The freezing temperature will numb that particular skin area. Some people describe it as a cooling sensation; most patients report the treatment as easily tolerable.
Most treatments take 35 minutes. The recovery time required is minimal to none.
Results appear within 8 to 12 weeks. Fat cells continue to be eliminated from the body for 4 to 6 months after the CoolSculpting procedure.
What CoolSculpting is Not: Not a Weight Loss Treatment
Remember, CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. It is more of a body-shaping treatment. CoolSculpting eliminates portions of fatty cells from the targeted body area. These eliminated cells cannot grow back. Therefore, CoolSculpting is a long-lasting fat reduction treatment.
Does CoolSculpting Really Work?
What is CoolSculpting’s success rate? It’s very high. According to research, people, on average, lose 14.6 to 28.5 of their body fat due to Coolsculpting treatment. Another study suggested fat reduction within two months of treatment.
