You’ve probably seen the ads for CoolSculpting and wondered how it works. Unlike other fat-reduction procedures, CoolSculpting doesn’t require surgery or downtime. It uses a technique called cryolipolysis to eliminate stubborn fat that diet and exercise just can’t tackle. Curious to learn more? Here’s more information about how CoolSculpting works.
One of the best things about CoolSculpting is its versatility. It works well on common trouble spots that can be pinched, like the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, underneath the buttocks, upper arms, and chin. The CoolSculpting device gently suctions up the bulge between two cooling panels. Each session takes about 35 to 60 minutes per treatment area. You can sit back and even use your phone or read during your appointments.
Here comes the science! CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling, or cryolipolysis, to target fat cells. According to WebMD, in 2010, cool sculpting gained FDA approval. The cold temperatures don’t damage your skin or muscle tissue, but they do trigger apoptosis — natural cell death — of some fat cells underneath. Your immune cells then digest and eliminate these dead fat cells over the next few months. After a couple of months, the treated bulge will be noticeably reduced.
It takes some patience to see your final results. Most clients start to notice a difference as soon as three weeks post-treatment. Your full results after the fat cells are eliminated will become apparent after about two to three months. Your body will continue processing the dead fat cells and eliminating them naturally. Most people are very happy with their final slimmed-down physique in the treated areas.
The non-invasive technique used by CoolSculpting can reduce stubborn fat safely without surgery or downtime. While it may take a couple of months to reveal your full results, you’ll start slimming down in just a few weeks. Talk to your provider about the best treatment plan for the areas concerning you, then get ready to be amazed when you fit into your skinny jeans again.
