Carrying a bulge around your waist makes it hard for clothing to fit comfortably, and moving around can cause chaffing and irritation. Some people decide to undergo invasive procedures to eliminate fat cells. Luckily, now there is an alternative to going under the knife—CoolSculpting®. To determine whether this is the best solution for you, below are answers to basic questions about the technology. 

Frequent CoolSculpting Queries

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, fat-freezing treatment designed to reduce fat in specific areas of the body. During the session, professionals place an applicator on the targeted spot. The low temperatures cause fat cells to freeze and die. After the applicator is taken off, technicians massage the area to break apart the frozen cells. 

What areas of the body does it target?

CoolSculpting technology is designed to reduce fat in areas that can’t be easily eliminated by diet and exercise. Fatty deposits under the chin and jawline, thighs, upper arms, back, bra area, abdomen, flank, and buttocks are ideal for the procedure. Using fat-freezing for these areas has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).   

Who is the ideal candidate?

CoolSculptingCoolSculpting is for individuals who want to lessen fatty excess in any of the areas mentioned above. It is not meant to be a weight loss solution. If you aim to reach a certain weight, diet and exercise will help shrink the cells to achieve your goal.   

How long before I start to see results?

Although the fat cells are dead, don’t expect to see immediate results. It takes two to six months or longer for your body to shed the dead cells. Once this happens, body fat is reduced by 20 to 25 percent.
