How CoolSculpting Can Reduce Your Midsection
Many women and men experience excess abdominal fat and an expanding waistline, despite following a healthy diet and participating in regular exercise.
Over time, this can become especially troublesome and frustrating, as clothes no longer fit and confidence plummets.
Fortunately, CoolSculpting can target and eliminate unwanted belly flab, without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. In fact, this fat-freezing procedure is an excellent alternative to liposuction, especially for individuals that have stubborn bulges.
Keep reading to learn how CoolSculpting can reduce your midsection and help you look and feel your best.
How CoolSculpting Can Reduce Your Midsection
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat removal procedure that’s performed in the comfort of your dermatologist or plastic surgeon’s office.
A single CoolSculpting cycle can take anywhere between 35-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. During this time, a vacuum applicator suctions fatty tissue and delivers controlled cooling to freeze fat cells. This process is known as cryolipolysis and culminates in the destruction and natural elimination of subcutaneous fat in the treatment area.
Patients experience very little, if any, discomfort and are free to resume all normal activities immediately after their CoolSculpting session.
How Many CoolSculpting Sessions are Needed?
The number of CoolSculpting sessions can vary from patient to patient. At your initial consultation, we will develop a customized treatment plan for you and outline how many sessions you may need.
That being said, most women and men can achieve optimal fat reduction with one-to-two treatments, spaced six-or-more weeks apart.
When Can You See Results from CoolSculpting?
It usually takes four-to-six weeks to see CoolSculpting results, and 12 weeks for the full effects to become visible.
At this time, you will note considerable slimming of your midsection, with a flatter abdomen and smaller love handles.
Your clothes will also look and fit better, and your waistline will become narrower and more defined.
