Have you been dieting and exercising lately but not seeing fat budge in certain body parts? No matter how many crunches, planks, or Pilates you do, you still see fat in your belly area, back, and thighs. When you have difficulty with these areas and other body parts, there is another option besides exercising and dieting.
The answer to effectively reduce fat safely in trouble areas is Coolsculpting and CoolSculpting Elite.
But what is this procedure, and how does it help eliminate pockets of fat on your body?
What is Coolsculpting and CoolSculpting Elite?
Coolsculpting is a non-invasive way to eliminate cells in specific body areas where stubborn fat tends to form. For many men and women, these areas are those that exercise and diet don’t seem to eliminate, such as parts of the back and stomach.
CoolSculpting Elite is a newer, more efficient version of CoolSculpting. They yield the same results however, Elite is the latest innovation in CoolSculpting technology making it a smarter, safer choice with faster results.
Started in 2005 and known as cryolipolysis, this treatment works by taking an FDA-cleared tool and placing it in approved areas of the body from the face down to the legs. The medical practitioner uses the device to freeze fat. It takes 30 to 60 minutes to freeze fat in each targeted area.
Over four to six weeks, the fat will exit the body leading to a reduction in body fat. After that, it may take several treatments to achieve your desired results. But many patients may see results within a couple of months.
Coolsculpting is not an ideal option for those who aren’t working out or not eating right. Instead, it is a way to help patients who are currently working on weight loss goals by dieting and exercising. It is most effective for those with low body fat which are not getting results in small areas. The procedure could cost about $1500 on average but may cost more or less depending on various factors, including location and the physician.
How Coolsculpting Helps with Body Contouring
Many body-contouring methods involve invasive surgical procedures. One of the most popular invasive surgeries is liposuction. Coolsculpting helps achieve similar goals as surgical methods like liposuction without the risks or the downtime. A patient also doesn’t have to worry about getting a surgical procedure since CoolSculpting is 100 percent non-invasive.
For patients struggling with pockets of fat in the stomach area, back, thighs, or face, Coolsculpting is a great way to trim fat in those areas. Once the practitioner treats the area of the body, the frozen fat cells will begin to die inside the body without damaging the nerves or tissue.
As these cells die and exit the body, a patient will see a reduction in body fat in those areas, upwards of 20 to 25 percent. Fat bulges that men and women see despite intense workouts are removed, creating a much shapelier figure. Within a few months, you will be able to fit comfortably into clothes without worrying about layers of fat making your clothing look unflattering.
Common Body Parts That Get Coolsculpting
When the FDA approved the procedure in 2010, CoolSculpting was only approved to treat areas of the back known as the love handles. Over the past few years, the FDA approved it to treat other trouble areas where fat develops. These include the following parts of the body:
● Stomach
● Thighs
● Upper Arms
● Bra fat
● Lax Tissue/Chin
● Underneath the Buttocks/banana rolls
Upon deciding to get the Coolsculpting procedure, you will meet with a body sculpting specialist that is licensed or certified to use the Coolsculpting tool to treat these specific areas of your body. You will feel tugging from the applicator during the procedure as it “sucks” the fat away. Additionally, you may feel cold, tingling sensations. Since Coolsculpting is non-invasive, there is no downtime, and you can resume your regular workout regimen shortly after the procedure.
