How Does CoolSculpting® Work?

Most people would agree that if they could magically get rid of unwanted fat on their body, they would be extremely interested in how the process works. Many people are surprised that there is a remedy for unwanted fat, and getting rid of it is quite easy. For many people, CoolSculpting® is something that is almost magical.

As the name implies, CoolSculpting® is a procedure that freezes fat on your body. Once the fat is frozen, it is naturally eliminated by your body. This is a safe procedure that is done in a controlled way in order to give you great results. It is effective at getting rid of unwanted fat, and it is gentle.

While you are undergoing the procedure and after the time it has been performed, you will feel comfortable. Our technicians use the procedure in order to target fat cells that are underneath your skin. This means that there is no cutting, there are no incisions and there is basically no downtime. The fat is frozen and then is eliminated through the body. It is that simple. It is safe, controlled, effective and precise.

The story of how CoolSculpting® came to be is kind of interesting. Scientists were surprised when they saw that after giving popsicles to children for certain health problems, they started to get dimples on their cheeks. The popsicles were freezing little pockets of fat on their face. Basically, they took this idea and made it bigger. The idea that cold could target fat and then get rid of it was amazing. The great thing about this procedure is that it does not damage the skin and surrounding tissue.

Many individuals are surprised and happy to know that the CoolSculpting® procedure can be used on many parts of the body. For example, it can be used to treat fat on the thighs; it can get rid of inner and outer thigh fat that typically bulges and causes a person to look fat and unattractive. It can also be used on the abdomen. Getting rid of this bulging fat will leave a person with a thinner torso. It can also be used to get rid of fat on the sides. Fat on the sides is typically known as love handles or even as a muffin top when a person is wearing jeans. All of these areas can be treated using CoolSculpting®.

Since this is a simple, safe and non-invasive procedure, most people qualify as candidates for CoolSculpting®. This is a procedure that has been designed to target bulges of fat that a person has not been able to get rid of by living a healthy lifestyle and getting enough exercise.
