Fat deposits that resist diet and exercise are treatable with the revolutionary CoolSculpting (or Cryolipolysis) procedure. This non-surgical, noninvasive fat loss method is becoming popular for its high rate of effectiveness, besides its safety features.
As part of CoolSculpting, the stubborn body fat is frozen to facilitate its discharge from the body. The arms, thighs, and abdomen are some areas where fat accumulates. That’s why Cryolipolysis targets the fat deposits in these body parts, imparting a sculpted figure.
Upon embarking on the CoolSculpting route, it helps to learn what you can expect after the session. This will help you prepare for the procedure and have realistic expectations about your recovery. However, we will first discuss how this advanced fat-reduction treatment works.
Cryolipolysis is neither a surgical procedure nor does it require needles. It involves deploying two paddles to hold the treatment areas via a device. The gradual cooling of the paddles freezes and destroys 20% to 25% of the fat cells over 35 minutes to 100 minutes.
The results become noticeable over the weeks as the immune system starts to clear the dead fat cells from the body.
You might want to consider CoolSculpting if you have fat bulges that do not go away with diet and exercise. It targets small-sized fat pockets, although it will not help you lose weight. It’s recommended for those who want to sculpt a particular part of their body.
Cryolipolsis is effective in treating fat deposits in various parts of the body. These include the back, thighs, abdomen, sides, upper arm, along the bra line, and under the butt, as well as around the chin and jawline.
It is beneficial for people with a BMI in the normal range, which is between 18.5 and 25. If your BMI is between 25 and 30, you will require 2 to 3 sessions to get rid of the stubborn body fat.
One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of the Cryolipolysis procedure is that it involves no downtime. That’s right! This means you can resume your normal schedule immediately after your appointment.
Well, post-treatment, it is normal to experience some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising, which subside within a week or two. However, a numbing sensation could last for many weeks thereafter.
Now, you will not notice the CoolSculpting results right away. It takes a few weeks for the body to eliminate the frozen fat cells.
The results become visible after 6 weeks from the procedure while the full results are seen 12 weeks after treatment. It could take a little longer, between 3 to 6 months, for the results to become visible in some cases.
Overall, you start noticing the results 4 weeks after treatment while it takes 3 months for the full results to become visible. You will continue to see improvements up to 6 months after treatment. Keep in mind that results develop gradually over time. Be patient and remain consistent with aftercare measures for your optimal recovery.
