CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved non-invasive procedure that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, in which unwanted fat cells are cooled to a very precise temperature that causes them to shrink and die while leaving adjacent skin cells undamaged. CoolSculpting has become increasingly popular among patients who are looking for safe and effective ways to reduce unwanted fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs,...
CoolSculpting is a safe and effective non-invasive way to selectively remove fat deposits near the surface of the skin. CoolSculpting is primarily a way to improve one’s cosmetic appearance – it is not an effective way to actually lose weight. So, if one is actively trying to lose weight, the question arises: should you wait until after you’ve reached your target weight before considering CoolSculpting, or should you go ahead...
We’ve written about CoolSculpting on several previous occasions – it’s a highly effective way to remove fat cells from specific body areas in a non-invasive way. The procedure works by cooling down fat cells using specialized applicators which are able to rapidly cool down unwanted fat without damaging surrounding skin and tissue. The targeted fat cells are damaged by the low temperature and are subsequently eliminated from the body naturally,...
CoolSculpting uses localized cooling pads to cool unwanted fat deposits down to a temperature at which fat cells will be killed off, without damaging adjacent skin cells. Damaged fat cells will then be naturally eliminated from the body in the weeks and months following treatment. The CoolSculpting cooling pads allow fat cells in specific areas to be targeted, while having no effect on adjacent areas. This allows a skilled practitioner...
Following childbirth (whether naturally or via cesarean section), many women are left with stubborn fat deposits, especially in the lower stomach area. CoolSculpting is an effective non-invasive procedure designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted fat, so increasing numbers of women consider CoolSculpting after childbirth. There are, however, certain factors that must be taken into consideration before CoolSculpting can be recommended. Post-Childbirth Recovery General medical opinion is that it’s best to...
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-reduction technique that relies on the fact that fat cells are more sensitive to low temperatures than other skin cells. By lowering the skin temperature to near freezing, it’s possible to damage (and ultimately kill off) subcutaneous fat cells while leaving surrounding skin cells undamaged. The Chin Area The chin area is one of the body parts that traditionally resist weight loss – it’s not possible...
CoolSculpting enables permanent fat loss in selective areas of the body, using a non-invasive (non-surgical) procedure that is safe, convenient, and effective. CoolSculpting uses carefully controlled and monitored cooling pads to damage unwanted fat cells selectively, after which they’re naturally eliminated from the body. Perhaps the most attractive aspect of the procedure is that the body does not regenerate that fat cells, so fat loss through the procedure is permanent....
We’ve written several blog pieces covering the many advantages that CoolSculpting offers as a safe and effective way to remove fat selectively. Some readers have expressed concerns about how safe the CoolSculpting procedure is, so we’re concentrating on that subject today. Non-Invasive The most significant advantage that CoolSculpting offers is that it is entirely non-invasive, meaning that CoolSculpting is not a surgical procedure. It doesn’t require that patients are anesthetized,...
The CoolSculpting procedure is an effective way to remove unwanted fat deposits by cooling them down to the point where fat cells are permanently killed off. Fat cells are more temperature-sensitive than other body cells and can be eliminated by cold temperatures without damaging your skin. There are two technical problems that CoolSculpting addresses – firstly, to limit the parts of the body being cooled to just the areas that...
While neither Liposuction nor CoolSculpting is considered to be effective weight loss techniques, both provide the ability to selectively remove localized deposits of excess fat. In both cases, fat cells will be permanently removed from treated areas, but neither procedure can prevent fat from subsequent accumulation or redistribution to other areas of the body. Liposuction can be an effective technique for localized fat removal, but it comes with a lengthy...
