Studies show that CoolSculpting® is a compelling fat loss procedure and its popularity in the United States is only growing. A minimally invasive and speedy procedure with many benefits over traditional fat removal procedure, the rumors you hear may sound too good to be true. So, what exactly is CoolSculpting® and how long do the results last?
What Is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary non-invasive procedure that eliminates stubborn fat using cooling technology. The cooling process targets fat cells underneath the skin, effectively freezing and killing them while leaving healthy skin cells unscathed. During this series of CoolSculpting® sessions, a vacuum-like applicator is used to freeze fat cells in problem areas. Frozen cells will then die and be disposed of naturally from the body. Because of the nature of this non-invasive treatment, there is no recovery time, and patients feel mild to no discomfort.
What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting®?
The greatest advantages of choosing this procedure are:
- FDA-cleared safe and effective
- The ability to reduce unwanted fat cells without surgery, pain, or downtime
- Flushes out fat for a thinner figure
What Results Can I Expect from CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® can effectively eliminate up to 20-25 percent fat in treated areas. As treatment is done in a series of sessions, results can normally be seen as quickly as three weeks after treatment while full results are typically seen after two months. In addition, the body will continue to eliminate fat cells for four to six months after treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
The greatest benefit to CoolSculpting® is that the results are permanent. Since fat cells in problem areas are destroyed, they cannot return. However, in order to maintain the effects of treatment, you should strive to follow a healthy and active lifestyle.
