CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive technique that providers use to target and get rid of stubborn fat deposits in numerous areas. The FDA cleared this cryolipolysis procedure in 2012, and it is now the most widely preferred non-surgical treatment for fat reduction.

This procedure requires no scalpels, incisions, or injections. There is no need for long frustrating periods of recovery time or downtime. Because CoolSculpting uses bodily processes to remove the fat, the body-sculpting results look very natural.

Thanks in part to the variety of specialized applicators available, providers can use CoolSculpting to treat numerous areas of the body. CoolSculpting can address the following regions:

• Waist
• Outer and Inner Thighs
• Abdomen
• Waist/Hips (Love Handles)
• Upper Arms
• Neck
• Buttocks
• Bra Rolls
• Saddle Bags
• Double Chin

One of the most popular treatment areas for this simple and effective fat-reduction technique is the love handles. Love handles are the bulges of excess stubborn fat that project from the flanks (the sides of the abdomen). The flanks are prone to developing stubborn fatty tissue over time.

Love handles are a common issue for both men and women. When a person wears tight pants, love handles hang over the sides, resulting in the appearance of a muffin top. This negatively affects body proportions, making the upper body look overweight.

Maintaining a healthy diet and a rigorous exercise routine often has no effect on the love handles. When these traditional weight-loss options do not provide the desired results, many people turn to CoolSculpting. This simple and gentle non-surgical treatment can reduce the fat on the flanks to sculpt a slimmer figure.

During your consultation session for reducing the appearance of your love handles, you will start by discussing your aesthetic goals and how much change you would like to see. A CoolSculpting professional will examine your flanks and abdomen to ensure that CoolSculpting can help achieve your desired results. They will ask you questions regarding your general health, past procedures, current medications, and any allergies you may have. They will then create a treatment plan to help you get rid of your love handles.

CoolSculpting works on a principle known as cryolipolysis, or fat-cell removal through freezing. This fat-reduction technique uses cooling energy to freeze the lipids in the targeted fat cells. This causes controlled apoptosis (fat cell death), and the body naturally filters out the broken-down fat cells.

Because lipids freeze at a higher temperature than other types of cells, the surrounding healthy muscles, nerves, and other tissues are not affected during this process. For this reason, professionals often call the procedure “selective cryolipolysis.”

If you have been trying hard to get rid of unwanted excess body fat but are not achieving results with diet and regular exercising, CoolSculpting may be right for you.

It is an excellent body-contouring treatment option for those looking for a non-surgical and non-invasive option. The CoolSculpting provider doesn't use needles or incisions, just cooling energy to freeze fat away. If you are sensitive to cold temperatures, you will need to talk to your CoolSculpting practitioner regarding this before going ahead with the procedure.

You will need to maintain good health and be at or near your ideal weight in order to be a good candidate for this fat-freezing treatment. Remember, CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure but is instead a spot-reduction treatment.

The technique does not require anesthesia and only lasts one hour per treatment area. It is a very simple procedure, and you can immediately resume your regular routine after the treatment.

First, the CoolSculpting practitioner places warming gel pads on the target area to protect the skin. They then use an applicator to deliver controlled cooling to the treatment region, freezing your fat cells. The CoolSculpting applicator uses medical suction to keep the region in place.

Since this is a non-surgical procedure, you can relax, listen to music, or read your favorite book while the practitioner does their job. The procedure is absolutely painless. The process may cause pinching and pulling sensations, which is normal.

No downtime or recovery time is required after the CoolSculpting procedure is finished, meaning you can return to your schedule immediately without having to take time off from work.

Once the treatment is finished, the body slowly and naturally filters out the destroyed fat cells. You may notice changes within 3 weeks of the treatment, and it will require a couple of months for more substantial results. The fat-flushing process will continue for up to 6 months, after which you can see the transformed you.
