CoolSculpting uses a biological process known as “selective Cryolipolysis,” in which prolonged, controlled cooling of fat tissue leads to the death and subsequent removal of these cells. This procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive, can be completed in approximately one hour per treatment area, and doesn’t damage the surrounding tissue. CoolSculpting utilizes the body’s natural processes to remove stubborn, localized pockets of fat. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss technique and should not be considered a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. Rather, it is a method for subtle body contouring; unlike other methods such as liposuction, CoolSculpting is completed externally and requires no incisions. During the CoolSculpting Procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area to specifically target underlying fat, leaving surface skin tissue unaffected. When fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, a process of natural removal is triggered, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The result is a visible reduction in fat bulges. On average, CoolSculpting results in a 20% reduction of fat in the treated areas, and patients can start to see results as soon as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results occurring over a period of two to four months in most patients. Clinical studies involving hundreds of patients show that, for properly selected patients, CoolSculpting is an effective way to reduce fat without the risk and recovery time of surgical procedures. The result is noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. CoolSculpting is safe because the delivery of precise cooling affects only targeted fat cells, leaving adjacent tissue unharmed and intact.
