What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved fat-freezing procedure designed to eliminate stubborn fat in specific areas of the body. “CoolSculpting” is actually a brand name for a method known as cryolipolysis.

The concept behind using cryolipolysis to destroy fat cells originated when scientists observed the impact of frostbite on body fat. They discovered that fat freezes at a higher temperature than skin. Based on this finding, they developed cryolipolysis, which uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin tissue.

How Does CoolSculpting Work? 

CoolSculpting is an innovative technique that allows patients to avoid incisions while still eliminating fat cells.

• CoolSculpting involves the use of applicators with a vacuum. These applicators draw fatty tissue into an application cup, where the fat cells are then frozen.
• Once the fat cells are frozen and crystallized, they become damaged. The body’s natural response to this injury is to gradually break down and remove the damaged fat cells over time.
• The body then metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system. This process is gradual, taking place over several weeks to months. The dead fat cells are processed in the liver and excreted through the body’s natural waste elimination processes (urine and feces).
• Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting does not involve any incisions or surgical procedures. It is entirely non-invasive, which means there are no cuts, stitches, or scars. The fat reduction occurs naturally as the body removes the dead fat cells, leading to a reduction in the thickness of the fat layer in the treated area.s

Body Areas for Fat Freezing Procedure

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

• Chin
• Arms
• Bra rolls
• Love handles / Flanks
• Abdomen
• Bra fat
• Thighs

Who is an Ideal Candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting, or fat freezing, is suitable for patients with small pockets of fat. This is because some accumulated fat pockets are resistant to exercise and diet, and no matter how hard one tries, they don’t go away. For such cases, CoolSculpting is an ideal option. However, keep in mind that the ideal candidate for this treatment should be within 15-20 pounds of their preferred weight. Additionally:

• The patient must have realistic expectations about the procedure.
• The entire CoolSculpting process may involve more than one session, so the individual needs to be mentally prepared for this.
• This treatment can only destroy pre-existing fat cells and cannot prevent the formation of new ones. Therefore, the patient must be committed to maintaining their ideal weight.

What are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?

There are multiple benefits offered by CoolSculpting, including:

• It is an FDA-approved procedure
• Minimal to no downtime 
• Improves the appearance of body contours
• It is virtually painless
• It has clinically proven fat loss results
• The results are noticeable within a few weeks
• It is non-invasive

How to Prepare for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting fat-freezing treatment is generally a straightforward procedure and doesn’t require the patient to follow a strict pre-procedure regimen. However, the patient should avoid taking any blood-thinning medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, prior to the treatment. If stopping these medications could lead to severe health conditions, the patient should consult with their healthcare provider to manage their medication intake appropriately.

Procedure For CoolSculpting

The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes per session, depending on the target area. It is performed on an outpatient basis, and no anesthesia is required.

• The CoolSculpting treatment begins with the clinician applying a gel pad and a specialized applicator that initiates cryolipolysis. This applicator delivers cooling, which travels through the skin to target the fat cells. The side of the applicator that contacts the skin is usually a hollow, cup-shaped surface that suctions the skin and fat cells while transferring the cooling effect. The practitioner moves this applicator over the treatment area.
• During the treatment, you may feel pulling and pinching in the treatment area. 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 the frozen fat. This helps the destroyed fat cells become more absorbable by the body’s lymphatic system. The massage may be slightly uncomfortable for some patients but is generally well within the pain threshold.

What to Expect After the Treatment?

After the fat-freezing treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and soreness in the treated area. Fortunately, these side effects typically subside within a few days. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Fat Freezing Treatment Results

Within the first few weeks of the treatment, you will start noticing the results of CoolSculpting. The significant improvement in your body contours can be seen within 6 months as the fat-flushing continues till this period. After that, the damaged fat cells are eliminated from the body through the natural process.

The eliminated fat cells do not return if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle and remain at your ideal weight.

Risks Associated with CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is generally a safe procedure that does not involve any incisions. This means undergoing CoolSculpting doesn’t pose any severe risk to your overall health, and there are no formal recovery requirements or downtime. However, like any procedure, CoolSculpting can have some potential complications, which include:

• A tugging sensation during the treatment due to the applicators
• Redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area
• A stinging sensation in the treated area, which usually resolves on its own
