If you have been trying to tone stubborn areas of fat without success, you are not alone. Even with regular exercise and following a low-fat diet, it is not uncommon for patients to have areas of fat that do not respond. Thankfully, there are things you can do to sculpt your trouble zones.
If you are looking for a minimally invasive way to reduce unwanted fat with little to no downtime, Coolsculpting may be right for you.
What Is Coolsculpting?
Coolsculpting, also called cryolipolysis, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that freezes areas of fat with cooling technology. Once the cells are frozen, they die and are eliminated from your body. Coolsculpting is unique in that it precisely targets areas of fat using a gel pad and applicator, protecting the surrounding areas. Once applied, the Coolsculpting applicator cools the treatment areas causing the cells to freeze. Once your body eliminates the dead cells, a more sculpted appearance is revealed in the treatment areas.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Coolsculpting?
Patients who are at or close to their ideal weight are the best candidates for Coolsculpting. They are in overall good health and understand that Coolsculpting will not help them lose weight. It is a procedure that is designed to sculpt specific trouble zones that have not responded to exercise.
Benefits of Coolsculpting
Unlike liposuction, which has a recovery period, Coolsculpting is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no anesthesia or incisions. You can return to regular activities immediately after the procedure. Results gradually appear over the course of several months, giving you the most natural result possible.
Things to Consider
As mentioned above, Coolsculpting is not a weight loss solution, so it is best to be as close to your ideal weight as possible. In addition, some patients do experience slight swelling and redness at the treatment areas, however, this will quickly resolve after your treatment.
