CoolSculpting - In Depth About It!

CoolSculpting is a fat reduction procedure that works on the principle of freezing fat or cellulite. It is a non-invasive and non-surgical therapy that cools the subcutaneous fat cells under the skin without harming the skin tissue. Here are the things you need to know before you opt for CoolSculpting: 

1. CoolSculpting is very effective for body sculpting and reducing weight. This process can eliminate love handles, tires around the abdomen, thighs and sagging arms. It also burns the fat collected in the upper back.

2. The applicator targets only the fatty regions, cools the subcutaneous fat cells. The cooled fat cells crystallize and get destroyed without harming any other cell.

3. The process works on both men and women, though the techniques might differ slightly because of fat deposition in males and females vary in terms of location.

4. The fat freezing treatment can reduce fat cells by up to 25% in each treated region.

5. CoolSculpting is done with the help of computer regulated devices which are sensitive to the changing temperatures of the various layers of tissue. This avoids complications like over cooling or unnecessary cooling of cells.

6. It different from exercise and dieting as they decrease the size of the fat cells while CoolSculpting reduces the number of fat cells.

7. Untreated areas of the body will not have any change in the distribution of fat cells.

8. The cells are expelled from the system because other healthy cells eat the dead fat, so there is no risk of fat cell migration to other body parts.

9. The cold also causes a certain amount of firmness in the treated areas.

10. It does not require anaesthesia, incisions, any invasive procedure, post-therapy recovery time or lifestyle changes.

11. The treatment can be administered on the abdomen, thighs, chin upper arms and male breast.

12. The effects of CoolSculpting are long term because the fat cells are eliminated.

13. The clinician discusses the approach with you before the treatment. The schedule, number of sessions, number of areas being treated per session- all these factors are customized to fit your specific requirement.

14. People are only advised against Cool Sculpting if they suffer from Donath Landsteiner Syndrome (presence of haemoglobin in the urine) or Cryoglobulinemia (presence of insoluble protein in the blood) - both caused by exposure to cold.

15. Side effects are very rare and curable.
