We’ve all heard the phrase “stubborn fat.” Many of us have first-hand experience with it. If you’re working hard to lose excess fat, it can be really frustrating when fat in certain areas of your body just won’t shift, no matter how hard you try. And when you’re in that situation, you might start looking into alternatives that can help you out. That’s where CoolSulpting comes in. CoolSculpting targets the areas of your body that hold onto stubborn fat and “sculpts” your body to make you look as great as you feel.
Here’s an overview of what CoolSculpting is and how it works.
What is it?
CoolSculpting is the brand name of a fat-reduction method called cryolipolysis. It is similar to other types of cryolipolysis in that it uses cold temperatures to freeze and break down fat cells. It’s FDA-approved, so you don’t have to worry that you’re getting a treatment that is experimental or unsafe. It’s important to note that CoolScuplting is not a weight-loss treatment. A treatment will reduce fat in the targeted area by 20-25%, which doesn’t actually weigh that much. Many people report losing 2 to 5 pounds, but CoolSCulpting will not result in dramatic weight loss. The purpose of the treatment is to slim down the targeted areas.
How does it work?
As we mentioned above, CoolSculpting uses cold to break down fat cells. Cold temperatures affect fat cells more than other cells, so the treatment won’t damage your skin or other underlying tissue. The fat cells die, and then your body absorbs them and flushes them out. This process takes some time, so don’t be discouraged because you don’t see instant results. It can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months for the fat cells to leave your body. At the end of that time, that targeted area will have a more toned and sculpted appearance.
Who Benefits from CoolSculpting?
People who have areas of “pinchable” fat are the best candidates for CoolSculpting. Because it is not a weight loss treatment, people at a healthy weight will have the most noticeable results. People who are good candidates for these treatments have a high success and satisfaction rate.
