With September being Self Improvement Month, many are looking for ways to lose fat and achieve a healthier-looking physique. Frequently, people want a noninvasive option that doesn’t require the risk or cost of going under the knife. If this describes you, then a Houston CoolSculpting treatment might be an option for you to consider!
Why choose CoolSculpting?
When peoples are looking for ways to lose fat, there are numerous options for them to consider. The challenge can be finding a safe and effective treatment that truly works. CoolSculpting is a noninvasive fat reduction treatment backed by a variety of studies and research. A CoolSculpting treatment helps to remove unwanted fat cells from under the skin.
CoolSculpting received FDA clearance in 2010, and millions of people around the world have utilized it since, with satisfying results. By 2012, CoolSculpting treatments had increased by 823%, according to the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. It provides many benefits as a noninvasive fat reduction treatment compared to more invasive or surgical fat reduction procedures. It requires no downtime, anesthesia, or needles and is reported to be a relatively comfortable treatment with little to no side effects.
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting practitioners place two paddles that deliver cooling technology on the treatment area. The cooling technology targets and freezes the fat cells. The technical term for the fat freezing process is cryolipolysis. With time, the frozen fat cells are eliminated from the body naturally through the liver. Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good. Cells surrounding the treatment area remain safely intact.
What do you mean “the fat cells are gone for good” after CoolSculpting?
We are born with a certain number of fat cells, and that number stabilizes in our youth. As we grow, the number of fat cells in our bodies changes very little, if at all. When we gain or lose weight, the fat cells are changing in size. However, with CoolSculpting, the fat cells are removed from the body, reducing the number of overall fat cells you have remaining. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not return. As a result, many people lose inches with CoolSculpting, but they might not lose much weight. CoolSculpting provides visible fat loss results within one to three months after treatment.
Does CoolSculpting really work?
There has been extensive research to verify CoolSculpting’s efficacy. A 2009 study found that cryolipolysis reduced the fat cells of the treated area by up to 25%. Cryolipolysis and CoolSculpting results shown were still visible six months following treatment. Not to mention, millions of people from around the world continue to turn to CoolSculpting due to its proven track record. It’s also the number one noninvasive fat reduction technology used by most doctors and won the NewBeauty “Best Noninvasive Fat Eliminator” award for six years in a row.
What can CoolSculpting treat?
Like any treatment, CoolSculpting is not for everyone. It works best for those who need to lose those extra few inches in the typical treatment areas. However, it is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss. It also should not be used on people with certain health conditions, including cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH), and cold agglutinin disease. Individuals should be honest and up-front with their CoolSculpting provider about any health conditions they might have to ensure CoolSculpting is a safe procedure for them.
CoolSculpting works to treat diet- and exercise-resistant fat. It is FDA-cleared to treat nine areas of the body. It is cleared to treat visible fat bulges of the:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks (underneath)
- Submandibular region (along/under the jawline)
- Submental area (under the chin)
- Flanks
- Back (back fat)
- Bra area (bra fat)
- Upper arms
Say “bye-bye” to your muffin top, love handles, banana roll (under the buttocks), bra fat, back rolls, “bye-bye arm,” and double-chin or turkey waddle with CoolSculpting treatments.
What about CoolSculpting side effects?
Very few side effects are reported with CoolSculpting. The most common include:
- Short-term swelling, skin sensitivity, bruising, and redness at the treatment site.
- Tugging sensation at the treatment site when fat rolls are placed between the CoolSculpting paddles.
- Sensations of stinging, pain, or aching in the treatment area within two weeks after treatment.
These side effects tend to go away without additional treatment needed.
How long can I expect to see CoolSculpting results?
As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a healthy meal plan and exercise routine, your CoolSculpting results should last long-term. As previously stated, once the fat cells are eliminated from the body, they are gone for good. However, if a person gains weight, they could also gain inches back in the treatment areas.
