Everyone has those body areas that show the first signs of weight gain and are the last to leave. Those stubborn fat pockets that exercise just won’t shift. However, if it’s your time to rid these areas once and for all consider CoolSculpting. This non-invasive, highly effective body contouring procedure, permanently removes stubborn fat body-wide. Make it your time to welcome permanent fat removal with a touch of cool . . .
Fat versus stubborn fat . . .
If you’re puzzled as to why certain body areas – the hips, tummy, thighs – boast stubborn fat cells that are hard to shift, you’re not alone in your thinking. The truth of the matter is that fat cells aren’t created equal, certain cells have a higher density of alpha receptors, making them harder to rid. To make matters even more challenging, the number of fat cells in our bodies is set during adolescence and remains constant through adulthood (regardless of whether we gain or lose weight) so exercise alone won’t cut the mustard (or fat!)
Body specifics . . .
Beyond diet and exercise, CoolSculpting permanently removes those fat pockets and sculpts the body. CoolSculpting has special applicators designed for each area of the body, and it safely delivers precisely controlled and targeted freezing to fat cells beneath the skin. The frozen cells crystallise and die and are then naturally eliminated from the body across several months post-treatment.
Unlike liposuction, which surgically removes fat with just one procedure, CoolSculpting requires more than one session – you may need six or more sessions, spread several weeks – to achieve body goals and fat elimination. Most people see the most dramatic changes to their form after two months of CoolSculpting sessions. Fortunately, time is on your side with treatment length, most CoolSculpting freezing sessions can be completed in a lunchbreak. For example, the abdomen typically only takes 45 minutes to treat.
Safely does it . . .
As for CoolSculpting side effects, these should be minimal, so long as you place yourself in the hands of a trusted practitioner. You may experience some redness, swelling or itchiness in the area following treatment, but this is typically short-lived – a few hours to a few days. There is no downtime required post-treatment, so you can go about work and life as per norm.
You risk more serious side effects from CoolSculpting if you turn to an untrained cosmetic and appearance medicine practitioner. Paradoxicaladipose hyperplasia, or PAH, is where fat in the treated areas expands and hardens into lumps. PAH is not typically a life-threatening condition, and it can be treated with liposuction, but it is always best to opt for the qualified professional to carry out your treatment.
