Can CoolSculpting Help You Reach Your 2019 Goals?
You’ve worked tirelessly at the gym, putting in time on the treadmill and with the weight equipment. You’ve also diligently followed a balanced diet and kept a close eye on your calorie intake. And, while all your hard work and discipline have paid off in some areas, you may still have a trouble spot or two that remains stubbornly unresponsive to all your attempts to achieve a toned physique.
As we get older, most of us naturally develop pockets of body fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common problem areas include the upper arms, thighs, buttocks, abdominal region, back, and the chin and neck. If you have unwanted fat that has accumulated in one or more of these spots, despite being at an otherwise healthy body weight, it can feel like a frustrating setback to all the progress you’ve made toward your fitness goals.
When you haven’t been able to achieve your desired results through fitness and nutrition alone, a non-surgical option called CoolSculpting® can help you get the shape you’ve been striving for, all with no need for stitches, incisions, or a lengthy recovery process.
What Is CoolSculpting?
Sometimes, scientific breakthroughs come from the most surprising sources. That’s the story behind CoolSculpting, which owes its inspiration to a summer favorite.
Years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed some children had dimples in their cheeks after eating popsicles. The scientists determined the intense cold from the sweet treat was freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells in the children’s faces.
Realizing that carefully directed cooling can target and remove fat cells without harming the skin or surrounding tissue led to the development of Cryolipolysis®, the scientific principle that forms the basis for CoolSculpting.
Key Benefits of CoolSculpting
- CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling to precisely target and destroy fat cells only in specific areas of your body.
- After the treatment, your body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells.
- CoolSculpting results are long-term because the treated fat cells cannot regenerate.
- CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-approved way to address areas of body fat and requires no recovery time.
- Around the world, aesthetic medical professionals have performed more than a million CoolSculpting procedures.
Who Is Qualified for CoolSculpting?
The CoolSculpting procedure is best for patients who want to remove unwanted fat from targeted areas. The CoolSculpting procedure is not the same as a surgery such as a lap band, which helps obese people lose a dramatic amount of weight throughout their bodies.
The best candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have already reached a healthy body weight, but are dissatisfied with noticeable flab or bulges of fat in specific spots. CoolSculpting is also ideal for anyone who does not want to undergo a more invasive procedure such as liposuction.
CoolSculpting Side Effects and Results
During the first few minutes of treatment, most patients report feeling intense cold; however, the area being treated generally goes numb within five to 10 minutes. You’ll also feel some pulling or pinching as a result of the suction from the device.
Because CoolSculpting is non-invasive, many of our patients read, catch up on work, or even doze off while their treatment is taking place. You can resume normal activities immediately following your treatment.
Typical side effects of CoolSculpting include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, tingling, and heightened skin sensitivity. These effects generally resolve within the first week or so afterward.
You may start to see improvements as quickly as three weeks after your treatment and will notice the most remarkable results after two months. Your body will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to six months after treatment.
How CoolSculpting Can Help You Achieve Your Goals
After completing CoolSculpting treatments, you won’t have to make any significant lifestyle changes to maintain your great results. However, many patients do feel increased motivation to live a healthy, fit way of life after seeing how well their CoolSculpting treatments have worked for them. When your clothes fit better, and you have improved self-confidence, it often pushes you to pursue an even healthier diet and workout regimen in the future.
If you’ve been exercising regularly and following a healthy diet plan, yet still struggle with problem areas, CoolSculpting may be just the spark you need to jumpstart your goals at the beginning of a new calendar year. Take the next step and schedule your consultation today to achieve the best possible version of yourself in 2019.
