CoolSculpting is a popular body contouring treatment that can help reduce fat in stubborn areas without surgery or anesthesia. It works by using cryolipolysis, a process in which extreme cold is used to damage fat cells that are then safely absorbed and eliminated naturally by the body. The treatment session can last up to an hour, as it takes some time for the device to reach the right operating temperature. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they won't come back.
Results can last indefinitely, but to maintain long-term results, the person may need to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. After a CoolSculpting treatment, results will begin to appear a few weeks after the procedure. The patient may notice a visible reduction in fat in 3-4 weeks, but dramatic improvements will be seen around 8 weeks after treatment. After 8 to 10 weeks, approximately 90% of the target fat cells may have been eliminated, but in some, the result may continue to develop for 6 months.
CoolSculpting can also be safely repeated in the same area with procedures spaced approximately 3 weeks apart. The best way to sculpt in the cold is with a healthy lifestyle and is most effective at removing small to moderate amounts of fat from stubborn areas. It is not intended to be used as a substitute for diet and exercise, but rather as an extra push to help a person achieve their fitness goals. As your body gradually metabolizes damaged fat cells, you'll notice that the treatment area becomes softer and tighter.
It usually takes 3 to 4 months for the full results of CoolSculpting to become evident. The number of CoolSculpting treatments needed for an area depends on the desired results and the body's reaction to the treatment. According to clinical studies and patient reports, the average fat reduction is up to 20% after a CoolSculpting treatment. You should wait four to six weeks between treatments.
To further reduce fat in the treated area, you can opt for more treatments. The fat cells targeted by CoolSculpting are destroyed, meaning they won't return to the body. In theory, therefore, CoolSculpting results can last indefinitely. However, CoolSculpting does not prevent or prevent subsequent weight gain, which can cause fat cells to enlarge and new fat cells to be generated in the treated area.
Undoubtedly, the best way to ensure that CoolSculpting results last as long as possible is to prevent future weight gain by maintaining a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine. In addition, women are advised to postpone their CoolSculpting treatment until they have finished having children so as not to compromise their results. Finally, if you're between 16 and 30 pounds below your ideal weight, you may need to focus on a single problem area three times before you're happy with the results of your treatment. If you have a very large volume of fat, you can expect up to 40% reduction without surgery or anesthesia with non-invasive body contouring with CoolSculpting.
Even younger men and women can have problems with persistent fat that persists due to fluctuating weight, pregnancy, hormones, and other factors. You should start doing this immediately after treatment and continue until the fourth day after treatment. However, keep in mind that receiving a CoolSculpting treatment doesn't mean you'll never gain weight in the target area again, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is critical.
