Ask almost anyone – man or woman – if they have an area of fat that they would like to get rid of, and the majority (if not all) will say yes. Some have those saddlebags bulging over the sides of their jeans, for others it’s a little (or big) pouch in their abdomen that they just can’t seem to get rid of, that flap of skin on the triceps, the area between the thighs that rubs together when walking, or those love handles that seem to be permanently affixed no matter how hard you work to get rid of them! Still, liposuction is something that scares many of us away from doing anything but dieting, exercising, or nothing at all, but not anymore.
CoolSculpting is a unique technology that targets and shrinks specific sections of fat without surgery, anesthesia, downtime, or even pain – and it works. This FDA approved procedure uses a technology called cryolipolysis that has been deemed a safe and effective non-surgical treatment for localized fat removal. Instead of sucking the fat out, with CoolSculpting the fat is subjected to cold temperatures that destroy the fat cells without harming the skin, bones, muscles or nerves. A handheld applicator is placed on the surface of the skin, then suction pulls the targeted area up into the applicator where it’s held for 60 minutes between two very cold plates. After five minutes the treatment is comfortable and almost unnoticeable.
More than reducing bulk, CoolScuplting is designed to shape the targeted area, helping to create the lean and sculpted look that we desire. After about one month, you will see a 20% to 25% reduction in fat – enough to notice your clothes fitting differently as pant sizes drop and confidence increases. Though it can be a one-treatment fix, many go back a second time.
It might not be a magic pill, but CoolSculpting seems to be a real solution to fat reduction.
