CoolSculpting: Non-Surgical Fat Removal Offers Advantages Over Liposuction

CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat removal procedure, offers advantages over traditional methods like liposuction. It's non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and is FDA-certified safe. Here's a closer look at this popular treatment.

CoolSculpting, a branded form of cryolipolysis, targets subcutaneous fat, which is the majority of body fat found beneath the skin. It's not designed for weight loss, but rather for fat loss in specific areas.

The procedure works by freezing fat cells, which then die and are naturally eliminated from the body over 4-6 months. On average, it reduces fat in the treated area by 20 percent.

Ideal candidates are adults in good health with no history of neurological or skeletal problems and normal kidney function. However, it's important to note that it can cause minor side effects like irritation and pain, and rarely, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where fat cells grow bigger instead of smaller.

CoolSculpting was approved by the FDA in 2010 for fat reduction. It's manufactured by Zeltiq Aesthetics, a subsidiary of Allergan.

CoolSculpting is a popular, non-invasive option for those looking to reduce fat in specific areas. With no recovery time and proven results, it's a viable alternative to surgical procedures. However, as with any medical procedure, it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider to ensure it's the right choice.
