After dedicating weeks, months, or even years to your health and fitness journey, you may still find yourself with areas of fat you can’t seem to shift, particularly around your stomach, flank, arms, and thighs.
While you might eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, it can seem like those noticeable bulges are there to stay. However, that might not be the case with an innovative treatment option known as CoolSculpting®. Keep reading to learn more about CoolSculpting and whether it’s right for you.
HOW COOLSCULPTING® WORKS
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, even though this non-invasive and non-surgical procedure may help your body break down and flush out fat. Instead, it focuses on freezing fat cells and removing them from specific areas.
When you lose weight through healthy eating and exercise, you don’t lose fat cells. They simply get smaller or larger based on whether you lose or gain weight. Those who choose CoolSculpting for removing cells and targeting stubborn fat often see results in as little as a month.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A COOLSCULPTING® SESSION
Undergoing any new procedure can be daunting, but you can rest assured that CoolSculpting is incredibly straightforward.
After you make your appointment with experts such as those at Yaletown Laser Centre in Vancouver, BC, your consultant will create an individualized treatment plan to determine the best approach.
Sessions tend to be around one hour long, and involve your consultant using the CoolSculpting Machine on the parts of your body you discussed. You might feel cold, tingling, stinging, and some minor discomfort, but sensations tend to subside once your treatment area numbs.
Once your treatment is over, you may notice some redness, bruising, and minor pain for up to two weeks. If you have any queries or concerns, don’t forget to discuss them with your chosen CoolSculpting consultant.
COOLSCULPTING® SAFETY
It’s only natural to question the safety of any procedure you undertake. CoolSculpting is not only effective for removing stubborn fat, but it’s also safe when performed by experts in their field.
CoolSculpting also has FDA clearance for treating visible fat bulges in a wide range of areas such as thighs, the abdomen, flank, and back. If you need reassurance, don’t be afraid to discuss your worries with an expert CoolSculpting consultant.
COOLSCULPTING® RESULTS
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but that doesn’t mean you won’t notice fat loss. Many people experience significant transformations in trouble spots within six months.
Some differences can be present within just weeks, but many people return for more sessions to target other areas of their body for the complete look.
The results of CoolSculpting may also be maximized through a light compression massage, which may be able to speed up your fat flushing process.
There are few things as frustrating as working hard to burn fat, only to find it’s stuck in place with no desire to move. While it might seem permanent, it may not have to be. Now might be the right time to inquire with a CoolSculpting specialist about whether this treatment option is right for you.
