Coolsculpting – the latest way to reduce fat
- At June 3, 2011
Coolsculpting is the “coolest” way to remove bulges of stubborn fat without surgery. This procedure is suitable for men and women who are physically fit, with a stable weight, but can’t seem to eliminate a localized fat deposit such as a muffin top, love handle or some back fat. Coolsculpting reduces your annoying bulge or roll that exercise and diet have failed to diminish.
Coolsculpting by Zeltig ™ is an FDA approved device that cools and breaks down fat cells in a targeted area. There are no needles, surgical incisions, anesthetics or pain medications needed. The Coolsculpting device crystallizes fat cells by freezing them, causing the body to react with an inflammatory response. The body, over a six to eight week period, disposes of the frozen fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue. Temporary side effects to the procedure may include redness, minor bruising, cramping, tingling or numbness in the treatment area.
Patients experience a 20-27% reduction of fat in the treatment area and a significant improvement in the shape of the body. Coolsculpting can be repeated after two to four months, resulting in an additional 20% reduction of the fat layer.
Coolsculpting is so non-invasive that it allows most patients to resume their normal routine the very same day as treatment, without any downtime.
