Does CoolSculpting Work & Is It Permanent?
Does CoolSculpting Work?
One of the most asked questions we get at bodenvy is “does CoolSculpting work?” We COMPLETELY understand when people ask this question. After all, it does seem too good to be true.
The CoolSculpting Elite treatment is the layman’s term for Cryptolysis, which is the freezing of fat in a treatment area. A percentage of the subcutaneous fat, also known as pinchable fat, in this area dies and the body will naturally remove the deceased fat cells during the following three to six months. During this period, you will notice the reduction of inches.
CoolSculpting is not for everyone. In general, you should be within thirty pounds of your ideal weight and have fat that can be pinched. The CoolSculpting Elite procedure uses a suction device called an applicator. During the body contouring treatment, the fat is suctioned into the applicator and is frozen without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. If you don’t have fat that can be suctioned then this cosmetic procedure isn’t for you. CoolSculpting isn’t a weight loss solution for people that wish to lose weight.
If You're A Candidate, Does it Work?
Now that we have determined if you're a CoolSculpting Elite candidate, let’s discuss if it works. CoolSculpting Elite received FDA clearance as a tool for targeting and reducing areas of body fat. There have been millions of successful procedures performed in the United States and internationally. CoolSculpting preaches that you can expect a 20% fat reduction on average in a treated area. This is based on one treatment per body area. Other studies have shown similar results. A 2015 study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that when using calipers as a fat measuring tool that subjects lost between 14.67% and 28.5% of fat in the areas treated by Cryptolysis.
Does CoolSculpting Work and What Should I Expect?
Coolsculpting is perfect for individuals that have excess fat after diet and exercise. Unlike surgical procedures, such as liposuction, there are minimal potential side effects. An article from Healthline discusses three of the main side effects of CoolSculpting, which include: Tugging sensation, Stinging or aching, and temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site.
CoolSculpting Elite can be used to treat upper arms, love handles, full abdomen, outer and inner legs, chin, bra fat and back fat. CoolSculpting is the gold standard here at bodenvy, the premier Body Sculpting provider in Orlando.
Is CoolSculpting Elite Permanent?
One of the wonderful things about CoolSculpting Elite is that the fat loss is permanent. Once the dead fat cells are removed from the body, they are gone forever. During a typical diet, fat cells will shrink as you lose weight. The potential issue with a traditional diet is that when you gain weight back, the fat cells get larger again. It’s a never ending cycle. Healthline explains, “Fat cells frozen by CoolSculpting Elite never return because the body eliminates them.”
