CoolSculpting offers a non-invasive and less expensive alternative to fat reduction surgery to do away with stubborn fat that refuses to go away, no matter how healthy you eat and how hard you exercise. It uses a fat-freezing procedure to target and destroy fat cells in different parts of your body including abdomen, thigh, arms, flank, and double chin in a much quicker and more effective way than dieting and exercising can achieve.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an innovative, FDA-approved, non-invasive fat-reduction procedure. This patented treatment freezes the unwanted fat in a given area of your body. The dead fat cells are then removed naturally by the body over a course of time. CoolSculpting is gaining rapid popularity in the U.S. to get rid of fat bulges at abdomen, thigh, flank, buttocks, and submental space.
The downtime is minimal and the results last longer. The procedure is pretty simple and can be completed in just an hour. You can literally get CoolSculpting done during a lunch break and get back to work immediately after the procedure.
You can see a significant reduction of fat after a single visit but it may take a few months to get the complete results. That’s because the frozen fat cells are left to be naturally eliminated from your body. If you wish to lose more fat and your doctor approves it, you may go for additional sessions.
CoolSculpting Is More Natural Than Other Procedures
Laser, surgery, and sonic wave based fat removal procedures often destroy healthy tissues and non-fat cells while trying to burn the body fat. Due to this, your body needs more time to heal. CoolSculpting however does not burn or shatter any cells. It uses targeted cooling to freeze and kill those fat cells under the skin. The targeting is so precise that only fat cells are eliminated; other skin cells of your body remain untouched. And there are no knives, suction hoses, or needles used during any stage of the procedure. Neither does it leave any scar on your body.
How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?
Each CoolSculpting treatment is unique to your body. There is no specific way to determine the exact number of sittings you will require. But generally, people are able to shed 20-30 pounds of fat in one or two treatments. In addition to the type and amount of CoolSculpting required, the cost of treatment also varies with the place and doctor you undergo the treatment with. The average Coolsculpt cost in NYC is about $750 per hour.
What to Expect
In most of the cases, you should be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Most of the patients get the desired results between 2 to 6 months of treatment. Three rounds of treatment should be more than enough to fully transform the body. Wait for at least 4 months before scheduling your next session. Most of the times, one treatment is all you need.
Also note that CoolSculpting is mainly meant for improving the contour of your body. Although it makes you appear as though you have lost pounds, it does not actually help you lose weight. The procedure promotes natural fat destruction through bodily response.
