Despite regular workouts and a healthy diet, many women and men cannot seem to eliminate their trouble spots.

Fortunately, non-surgical fat removal treatments like CoolSculpting can slim and shape the body, without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery.

If you’re interested in freezing your fat and looking better in clothes, keep reading to learn all about CoolSculpting and what you can expect should you decide to undergo treatment.

How Can CoolSculpting Freeze Your Fat?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, non-invasive fat removal procedure that delivers a cooling effect to unwanted bulges with a variety of applicators.

In fact, these interchangeable hand pieces cool the treatment area to the point that they cause fat cells to breakdown and die.

While the destroyed fat is permanently eliminated over the next few months, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to preserving treatment benefits.

Are You a Good Candidate for Freezing Your Fat with CoolSculpting?

Does CoolSculpting work? That’s usually the first thing people want to know. But usually that question can be answered best when you understand who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

Women and men that are near their ideal weight and bothered by localized pockets of fat on their abdomen, chest, thighs, hips, arms, back, and chin are often good candidates for CoolSculpting.

The CoolSculpting treatment is not meant for weight loss, but rather to target and reduce stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Non-Surgical Alternative to Liposuction

CoolSculpting is an excellent alternative to liposuction because it offers individuals a way to non-surgically sculpt and reshape their bodies.

Another reason to consider freezing your fat – zero downtime. Following a 35-minute CoolSculpting cycle, patients are free to return to work and resume all normal activities, without any disruption to their schedules.

The treatment is also virtually painless and often described as a cold, tingly sensation.

Are There Any Risks with CoolSculpting?

Not only is CoolSculpting non-invasive, non-surgical, it’s also extremely safe and has minimal side effects. Patients may note redness and swelling immediately after treatment, and numbness and tingling that typically resolve in several days.

Additionally, it’s important to have reasonable expectations of the procedure. Although CoolSculpting can reduce up to 25 percent of fat cells in the treatment area, it may not be right for everyone.

The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for freezing your fat with CoolSculpting is an in-person consultation.
