In today’s world, achieving the ideal body shape has become a priority for many. Whether through diet, exercise, or medical treatment, people constantly search for effective ways to eliminate stubborn fat. One revolutionary method that has gained popularity is CoolSculpting. This non-invasive fat reduction treatment has helped countless individuals achieve their body goals without surgery.
At Advanced Aesthetics in Las Vegas, NV, we offer CoolSculpting treatments to help you get the body you’ve always wanted. But what exactly is CoolSculpting, and how does it work? Let’s explore the science behind this innovative fat reduction method.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that targets and eliminates fat cells through controlled cooling. Developed by scientists at Harvard University, the CoolSculpting treatment was inspired by the observation that children who frequently ate popsicles developed dimples in their cheeks. This phenomenon, known as “popsicle panniculitis,” led to the discovery that cold temperatures can selectively reduce fat cells in specific areas without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Cryolipolysis is the process used in CoolSculpting, which involves cooling fat cells to a temperature that triggers their natural death without damaging surrounding tissues. Fat cells are more susceptible to cold than other cell types, allowing this selective targeting.
During the treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. The applicator delivers controlled cooling to the fat cells, freezing them without harming the skin or other tissues.
When fat cells are exposed to cold temperatures, they begin to crystallize. This triggers apoptosis, a natural cell death process. Over the next few weeks, the body metabolizes the dead fat cells and eliminates them through the lymphatic system.
The results of CoolSculpting are not immediate. It takes a few weeks to a few months for the body to fully process and eliminate the treated fat cells. Most patients start to see noticeable results within three weeks, with optimal results appearing after two to three months.
CoolSculpting offers several advantages over traditional fat reduction methods, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to contour their bodies without surgery:
Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting does not require incisions, anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery period. This makes it a safer and more convenient option for many patients, reducing the risks associated with surgical procedures.
CoolSculpting allows for precise targeting of stubborn fat areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin. This specificity helps achieve more contoured and defined body areas tailored to each patient’s needs.
Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. There may be some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these side effects typically resolve quickly, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated from the body, they do not regenerate. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results of CoolSculpting for the long term, ensuring that the treated areas remain slimmer and more toned.
Patients often report a reduction of about 20% to 25% of fat in the treated area after one session. Depending on your goals and the amount of fat you want to reduce, additional sessions may be recommended to achieve your desired results. At Advanced Aesthetics, we work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The number of CoolSculpting treatments required varies depending on the individual’s goals and the amount of fat in the targeted area. Most patients see noticeable results after just one session, but additional treatments may be needed to achieve optimal results.
Typically, patients schedule one to three sessions per treatment area, spaced several weeks apart, to allow the body to naturally eliminate the destroyed fat cells. The final results become most apparent two to three months after the last treatment as the body processes and removes the fat cells. We will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to help you achieve the best possible results.
CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals close to their ideal body weight but with localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. These are typically small to moderate pockets of fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin. However, it is not a weight-loss solution and is not recommended for individuals with significant weight loss. CoolSculpting is designed to contour and shape specific areas rather than achieve overall weight reduction.
