What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling technology to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells in various areas of the body. The treatment is designed for individuals who are already at or near their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is clinically known as cryolipolysis, which literally means “fat freezing.”
How CoolSculpting Works
The procedure works by cooling fat cells to a temperature where they crystallize and die off, without affecting the surrounding skin or tissue. Over the following weeks and months, the body naturally processes and removes these dead fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in fat in the treated area.
Common Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting can be used on a variety of body areas, including:-Abdomen (love handles, belly fat)-Thighs (inner and outer thighs)-Flanks (sides or “muffin top”)-Back (bra bulge, lower back)-Double chin (submental fat)-Arms-Underneath the buttocks (banana roll).
