What You Should Know About CoolSculpting

1. It Can Eliminate up to 25% of Fat

Many people see CoolSculpting as a way to knock out a small amount of lingering fat, but it’s much more powerful than that. In some cases, it can lead to a 20-25% reduction in fat. Through the process of cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting freezes fat cells. Your body will eventually flush those cells out within two to six months, helping you shed troublesome fat deposits and gain a tighter stomach.

2. It Was Inspired By Popsicles®

The concept of freezing fat cells allegedly arose from two Harvard scientists watching children eat popsicles. As they consumed the treats, their cheeks dimpled—the popsicles were freezing and eliminating fat cells. This idea inspired cryolipolysis and CoolSculpting. Sessions take as little as 35 minutes, and results appear within one to two months.

3. It’s Completely Safe

Some fat reduction procedures, such as liposuction, require surgery. CoolSculpting is minimally invasive and the only cryolipolysis treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Expect limited side effects, such as swelling or bruising. The only discomfort during the procedure comes from the cold temperatures. Skin care technicians will take every step to ensure your comfort, and once the cold numbs the treatment site, you’ll be able to sit back and relax.
