Everyone knows that eating healthy and exercising regularly are critical for losing weight. However, when you are following the basics but unable to lose fat from certain stubborn areas of your body, it can be frustrating. Thankfully, there are options to address these concerns, including CoolSculpting, which is the brand name for cryolipolysis. Check with Newport Beach MedSpa to know if you are an ideal candidate for the treatment, but for your help, here is a quick overview.
What is CoolSculpting?
Approved by the FDA, CoolSculpting is also called fat-freezing. The treatment involves using a machine that freezes the fat cells from stubborn pockets. Once the fat cells are “killed”, the body naturally eliminates them. Once gone, the fat cells won’t return. CoolSculpting is often preferred because it is not invasive or complex as other options like Liposuction. The treatment is particularly effective for areas like the abdomen, back, love handles, thighs, chin, chest, and arms.
Should you consider CoolSculpting?
There are several benefits of CoolSculpting. First and foremost, the procedure is effective and doesn’t require surgery. There is no need for anesthesia or needles, and you can be done at the clinic within an hour. While some discomfort is not unusual, there is no pain or adverse side effects. Contrary to popular belief, CoolSculpting is not just for the abdomen and can help reduce fat from different parts of the body. The results are visible within 12 weeks, and you don’t have to worry about lumpy or textured skin. The results are permanent!
What is the procedure like?
As mentioned above, CoolSculpting doesn’t require anesthesia. Your doctor will use a handheld piece, which will pull the targeted area between two paddles. Your doctor will leave the paddles in place for about an hour, during which almost 20% to 25% of fat cells are destroyed. Remember that the procedure doesn’t give instant results, but you should see a noticeable difference within a few weeks.
Things worth knowing
CoolSculpting is not an alternative to diet and exercise. If you have been on a strict regimen but have failed to reduce fat from the above-mentioned parts of the body, your doctor may suggest the treatment to get the desired results. Also, CoolSculpting is not for pregnant or nursing women. If you think you are pregnant, let your doctor know. Your health history and other factors are crucial to determine whether you can consider CoolSculpting for fat reduction.
