CoolSculpting: Fat Freezing Treatment

Fat bulges are a significant concern for anyone wanting to be in good shape. These bulges mar the body’s appearance by making contours less prominent. The good news is this problem can be addressed with multiple clinical procedures, one of which is CoolSculpting or fat freezing. It is an innovative treatment that can help you get a flatter tummy, slimmer thighs, and shapelier hips, all without going under the knife.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-freezing procedure that helps eliminate stubborn fat in specific body areas. ‘CoolSculpting’ is a brand name for a method called cryolipolysis. This treatment was approved by FDA in 2010 for its body-contouring ability without causing significant side effects. 

The idea behind using cryolipolysis to destroy fat cells originated when scientists studied the impact of frostbite on body fat. They discovered that the freezing temperature of fat is higher than that of the skin. Based on this, they developed cryolipolysis, which uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells without damaging skin tissues.

Body Areas for Fat Freezing Procedure

CoolSculpting can be used to get rid of unwanted fat cells in several body areas, including:

• Chin
• Arms
• Bra rolls
• Flanks
• Abdomen
• Back fat
• Thighs

Who is the best candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting works best on specific body areas and may only be viable for a particular group of candidates. For this reason, several factors must be considered when determining whether you are a good candidate for this procedure.

• Fat freezing is suitable for patients with small pockets of fat. This is because this treatment doesn’t help you lose body weight. You are a good candidate for this treatment if you are not excessively overweight and want to remove fat bulges that do not respond to exercise and diet.
• You must have realistic expectations of the procedure. The entire CoolSculpting treatment plan may involve multiple sessions, each leading to a 20-25% reduction in pinchable fat. Moreover, the final results are usually visible several months after the treatment.
• You want to achieve attractive body contours. CoolSculpting doesn’t help you lose weight. However, it is an ideal option if you want to redefine your body contours. That being said, the results achieved from this treatment are rather subtle instead of dramatic.

Procedure For CoolSculpting

The procedure can take about 35-75 minutes per session, depending on the target area. It is done on an outpatient basis with no anesthesia required. 

The CoolSculpting treatment starts with a healthcare provider applying a gel pad and a specialized applicator that initiates cryolipolysis. This applicator delivers cooling that travels through the skin into the targeted fat cells. The applicator’s side that comes into contact with the skin is usually a hollowed cup-shaped surface that suctions the skin and fat cells while transferring the cooling effect. The practitioner moves this applicator over the treatment area.

You may feel pulling and pinching on the treatment area during the treatment. However, the entire procedure involves little to no pain.

Immediately after the fat-freezing treatment, the practitioner will massage the treated area to break up frozen fat. This way, the destroyed fat cells become more absorbable for the body’s lymphatic system. The massaging may be slightly uncomfortable for some candidates but is usually well within the pain threshold.
