Let’s start by saying that no aesthetic or cosmetic procedure can give you the perfect body unless you add diet and exercise into the mix. If you have tried everything but have failed to get rid of stubborn fat from certain parts of the body, you may consider CoolSculpting, which is also known as cryolipolysis. You can get more details when you visit an aesthetic clinic and speak to a board-certified cosmetic doctor. In this post, we are sharing an overview of CoolSculpting.
Understanding CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a cosmetic fat-loss treatment approved by the FDA that removes fat from stubborn parts of the body. The procedure involves freezing the fat cells from the targeted areas. Once the fat cells are killed, the natural immune system gets rid of them. CoolSculpting is not the same as liposuction, as the latter is an invasive procedure. Cryolipolysis does not involve surgery, needles, or anesthesia. While liposuction is more effective for getting rid of excess fat, it also comes with a greater risk of side effects and complications. A standard session of CoolSculpting can take an hour or more, depending on the number of areas being targeted. Many clinics rely on multiple machines to target specific body parts at once.
What to expect from the procedure?
While CoolSculpting is one of the safest ways to get rid of fat from areas like abs, hips, thighs, and back, it is not for everyone. Remember that there is no substitute for overall weight loss, and you will have to focus on exercising enough and eating right. The procedure is safe, but one may experience some redness and swelling immediately after the session. It can take up to six months for the body to get rid of the “killed” fat cells, and therefore, you should expect the results to set in with time. Most people need multiple sessions to see the benefits. Since the fat cells are destroyed, the benefits are real, but a lot also depends on the patient’s lifestyle and exercise regimen.
How long do the results last?
Done right, CoolSculpting results can last for up to nine years. Keep in mind that you are just getting rid of fat cells, which means that the procedure doesn’t prevent new fat cells from appearing. As long as you keep up a healthy routine, the benefits should last a long time.
