Sometimes diet and exercise aren’t enough to get the body you want. But with CoolSculpting®, you can finally target specific areas of your body to reduce fat. This exciting new procedure has recently gained attention, but is it safe? Below, the experts from Shore Medical Aesthetics & Anti-Aging in Babylon, NY, discuss this fat reduction procedure and address safety concerns.

How Safe Is Fat Freezing?

Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, it carries far fewer risks when compared to surgical cosmetic procedures. Likewise, there is less room for error when using a machine like the CoolSculpting device, which has been approved by the FDA since 2010.

CoolSculptingAnother reason the procedure is safe is it doesn’t damage the skin, vasculature, lymphatics, or nerves. The CoolSculpting machine uses controlled cooling to target fat cells only, which are more susceptible to cold than the surrounding tissue. The device safely cools the targeted area just enough to affect the fat without causing harm.

If you want to be sure you’re getting the safest and most effective treatment possible, look for a certified CoolSculpting practice, which ensures the technician operating the machine has received extensive training in the technique.

Why CoolSculpting Works

In adulthood, the total number of fat cells in your body is relatively constant. As you gain or lose weight, it is the size of the fat cells that changes, not the number. In other words, losing weight never makes fat cells go away, it just makes them smaller.  The CoolSculpting procedure effectively reduces the total number of fat cells by 20% to 25% in the targeted area, resulting in a more sculpted body.
