CoolSculpting® is a body contouring procedure that does not require surgery. The fat cells beneath the skin are frozen using a special device. After the fat cells are destroyed, they break down gradually, and the liver eventually removes them from the body. In 2012, CoolSculpting® was approved by the FDA. The procedure decreases the number of fat cells in the targeted area by quite a bit. The effects usually become noticeable in the weeks after the treatment, but the full results do not become apparent for months.
This treatment is non-invasive and a safer way to reduce fat than a more traditional surgery such as liposuction. Since there is no anesthesia, tissue manipulation or cutting necessary, people do not need a recovery period prior to resuming their regular activities. The procedure has been proven effective and safe for the removal of minor deposits of fat on the:
• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Love handles
CoolSculpting® is an excellent option, non-invasive and can be performed in a short period of time. During the procedure, many people take a nap, read a book or get some work done. These activities are impossible during other procedures for removing fat, such as lipo. The added bonus is the elimination of any downtime or recovery period. This treatment is not meant to be a replacement for exercise and diet. The process is designed to assist in fat reduction. The results look natural and are gradual.
The Benefits of CoolSculpting®
This is the only procedure using fat freezing technology cleared by the FDA. The treatment does not require any artificial substances or surgery. The cooling is controlled to target fat cells. Your body sheds the fat through a natural process. The treatment is comfortable, safe and offers a lot of benefits. When you like the way you look, you feel better. This improves your self-confidence. You will look better in your clothes. The people around you in your personal and professional lives will notice the difference, but they won’t be able to tell that you had a procedure done.
Exercise and diet can decrease the size of your fat cells, but they are still in your body. They can come back after skipping an exercise session or indulging in a piece of cake. CoolSculpting® permanently removes the fat cells from your body to provide more even contours.
