Key Facts
- CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to destroy fat cells non-surgically.
- The technique contours stubborn fat spots that resist diet and exercise.
- Since treated fat cells do not renew, outcomes are durable, however weight stability is essential.
CoolSculpting—How Does It Work?
A breakthrough therapy called CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, uses controlled chilling to target and remove fat cells in precise areas. The targeted fat cells are frozen, crystallizing and undergoing apoptosis, which the lymphatic system expels. This treatment works best for people near their optimal weight with isolated fat pockets. Patients can resume everyday activities soon after treatment, making body sculpting convenient.
Is CoolSculpting Permanent?
As fat cells die, CoolSculpting permanently reduces fat in treated regions. If a patient gains weight after the treatment, the residual fat cells may grow, changing the treated area’s look. Thus, while CoolSculpting fat removal is permanent, a healthy lifestyle and stable weight are necessary to maintain outcomes.
Comparing CoolSculpting to Other Fat Loss Methods
Compared to other fat removal techniques, CoolSculpting yields more substantial and long-lasting benefits. CoolSculpting permanently eliminates fat cells, unlike other methods that use heat, suction, and massage to decrease fat or enhance skin texture. Thus, CoolSculpting is the better choice for long-term body reshaping because it loses fat permanently without repeated sessions.
Maintaining CoolSculpting Results
Maintaining CoolSculpting benefits requires a healthy lifestyle with frequent exercise and good nutrition. While the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, weight increase can enlarge the remaining fat cells, undoing some therapy benefits. Patients should maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to maintain outcomes. Some may opt for additional treatments to address new fat deposits.
