CoolSculpting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that works by targeting areas where there is an excess of fat stored or cellulite and freezing those fat cells so that the cells are killed and expelled naturally from the body as waste. This procedure uses a device that suctions the targeted area to apply the cooling from all around to better eliminate the unwanted fat. As the fat cells die, the remaining cells will gather closer to one another to fill in the leftover space, making the treated area appear smaller and smoother. The commonly targeted areas for treatment include the thighs, lower back, hips, and belly. Each site of treatment will take around one hour. Some larger areas may require more than one session to achieve the desired results, with two sessions spaced a few months apart being necessary to eliminate all of the unwanted fat. It will probably take around 6 months before you will reach your final outcome of the treatment.

The results from CoolSculpting are permanent since the treatment actually kills the targeted fat cells, rendering those cells incapable of regenerating or growing back. However, since it is fat cells that are removed, if you were to gain a fair amount of weight, it is likely that the new fat cells would develop in those areas that had been previously treated simply because that may be where your body naturally stores fat. So, the results are permanent as long as you continue living a healthy lifestyle and are able to avoid putting that excess weight back on.

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that comes with many different benefits, the first being that it is able to provide permanent results while still being completely non-invasive. It has been proven to be effective at reducing fat in targeted areas by around 25% with very minimal side effects and no need for any downtime post-treatment. There are specific areas that are more popular for receiving the treatment, but it can really be done anywhere on the body that has excess fat stored, including the chin, backs of arms, behind the armpit, the tummy, hips, thighs, and above the knees. Due to its ability to really be done anywhere on the body, the treatments can be very easily customized to suit the needs of each individual patient. CoolSculpting has also grown in popularity due to it being much more affordable than the majority of the fat reduction treatments available. Since the treatment only targets fat cells and allows for the transformation to occur gradually, the results appear much more natural and reveal beautifully smooth skin.

The CoolSculpting treatments work by removing anywhere from 20-25% of the fat in the targeted area per session, so the amount of weight that you can lose with your treatments really depends on how much weight is being carried by fat cells in the treated area, and how many sessions are done in the same area. It is not intended to be a weight-loss treatment, but to help lose those last few areas where excess fat is being stored that have proven to be stubborn throughout a weight-loss process. The efficacy of the treatments is dependent on the patient not immediately gaining the weight back, so while CoolSculpting will help shed those last few pounds by removing the final bit of stored fat, it is not recommended for those who are in the early stages of their weight-loss program.
