CoolSculpting
Services | Body
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that aims to reduce fat in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or love handles. It uses a process known as cryolipolysis, which freezes and kills fat cells in the targeted area. The dead fat cells are then naturally eliminated from the body over time.
During a CoolSculpting treatment, the area to be treated is first marked and covered with a special gel pad. A cooling applicator is then placed on the skin, which delivers controlled cooling to the underlying fat cells. The cooling causes the fat cells to crystalize and die, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The treatment typically lasts between 60 to 120 minutes per area.
After the treatment, the treated area may be swollen, bruised, or tender for a few days. The results of the treatment are not immediate, and it may take several weeks or even a few months for the body to naturally eliminate the dead fat cells. However, the results can be long-lasting as the treated fat cells are permanently removed from the body.
It’s important to note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment and is best for those who are within their 20 pound goal weight. It is best suited for people who have stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
