The Science Behind Coolsculpting®
Coolsculpting® works through a process called cryolipolysis. This method targets fat cells beneath your skin by cooling them to a temperature that triggers their breakdown. As the fat cells freeze, they crystallize and die.
Over time, your body processes and eliminates these dead cells naturally. This process does not harm the surrounding tissues, making it a safe and effective way to reduce fat.
Coolsculpting® provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional fat reduction methods, with minimal risk and discomfort. The results appear gradually, offering a more natural look as your body continues to remove the dead fat cells.
What to Expect During a Coolsculpting® Session
During a Coolsculpting® session, a clinician will apply a gel pad and applicator to the target region. The applicator provides regulated cooling to fat cells.
You may feel intense cold and a pulling sensation at first. These feelings subside as the area becomes numb. A session typically lasts about 35 to 75 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
After the procedure, you can return to your normal activities immediately. Some redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, but these effects are temporary. Your clinician will provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and comfort.
Results and Benefits of Coolsculpting®
You may start to see changes as soon as three weeks after your Coolsculpting® treatment, with full results visible after two to three months. The procedure can treat various areas, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin.
With Coolsculpting® there is no need for surgery, anesthesia, or extensive downtime. It is a convenient option for those seeking a non-invasive fat reduction method. As the fat cells are permanently eliminated, the results can last long-term with a healthy lifestyle.
