CoolSculpting™ is a relatively new procedure that can help men and women get rid of stubborn areas of fat. Approved by the FDA in 2010, more than 2 million patients have since received CoolSculpting™. This innovative, non-invasive procedure uses extreme cold to target fat cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
Relying on a technology called called Cryolipolysis®, an applicator used during CoolSculpting™ exposes fat cells to near sub-zero temperatures. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School proved that this process could be used to safely destroy fat cells, which are more vulnerable to cold than surrounding tissue.
Unlike surgical fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting™ does not require any surgical incisions, anesthesia or recovery time.
Why Choose CoolSculpting™?
Many patients are frustrated by areas of stubborn fat that will not go away despite regular exercise and healthy eating. While surgical procedures like liposuction are options, many patients may not have the time required to undergo and recover from surgery. CoolSculpting™ can be used to treat stubborn fat in areas like the thighs, hips and abdomen.
There are several benefits of CoolSculpting:
- Little or no discomfort.
- Short treatment time
- Each treatment session results in a 20 percent reduction of fat in the area treated.
CoolSculpting™ is appropriate for individuals who are in overall good health and not considered overweight. Results become apparent within three weeks and appearance will improve over the course of several months. Receiving multiple treatments may be recommended depending on your desired results.
