The Cold Truth about CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared non-surgical procedure to eliminate stressful fat from targeted areas such as the love handles, upper arms and inner thighs. While this procedure is not intended as a weight loss tool, it can be the perfect solution for people who have a few stubborn “bulges”.

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure that is performed on surface of the skin. Fat cells are cooled at a controlled temperature so that they die and are later eliminated by the body. Fat and water cells (like skin and muscle) respond differently to cold.  The ideal temperature is achieved within a few minutes after starting the treatment and “freeze” fat cells, but water cells are unaffected. Anywhere from 20% to 30% of the targeted fat cells “freeze” and breakdown to be eliminated from the body.

When the CoolSculpting applicator is applied, the client will notice the targeted area being drawn into the cooling panels. Once the target area is cooled, it becomes numb and then it is time to sit back and relax. Let CoolSculpting go to work freezing and effectively damaging fat cells so your body can eliminate them!

The best results will not be noticeable in about three months because the removal of the damaged fat cells is a natural process, and it will usually take your body several weeks to allow the fat cells to be processed out. Although some people achieve their desired results in a shorter period and with just one CoolSculpting session, most people need at least two sessions on each desired area.

For those who maintain their weight and stick with a healthy diet and exercise regimen, CoolSculpting results should last indefinitely. The targeted fat cells are gone for good! So why wait?
