Dealing with stubborn fat can be a frustrating experience. Some fat deposits refuse to budge even with a healthy diet and regular exercise. This is where advanced non-surgical options come into play, offering solutions for those hard-to-target areas.
CoolSculpting is one such option, using controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells. At Radiant Reflections Weight Loss Clinic & Medspa in Hattiesburg, MS, we are excited to offer this innovative technique. With a non-invasive approach, it provides a method for reducing fat in specific areas, aligning with your aesthetic goals.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction method that employs fat freezing to eliminate stubborn fat. Unlike weight loss methods that shrink fat cells, CoolSculpting removes them from the body so they won’t come back. This treatment offers a targeted approach to reshaping your body by addressing the fat cells directly and only in the places you want to sculpt.
As a fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting works by cooling fat cells beneath the skin. A precise amount of cooling is used so that fat cells become cold enough for a long enough amount of time without affecting the skin. These cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissues. Once treated, the fat cells crystallize (freeze) and then die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body, leading to a reduction of fat in the treated areas.
CoolSculpting is particularly effective for fat reduction in areas with pinchable fat. Pinchable fat refers to the soft, squeezable fat that can be easily grasped between your fingers, as opposed to the denser, more fibrous fat. This type of fat is often resistant to diet and exercise but responds well to the targeted cooling technique of CoolSculpting.
One of CoolSculpting’s benefits is the comfort of the treatment process. Patients can relax during CoolSculpting sessions without pain or the hassle of anesthetic. You may experience some sensations of cold or tingling, but these are tolerable and comfortable for most.
Following a CoolSculpting treatment, patients can see a distinct change in the treated areas. The results can be seen in a more contoured and refined appearance and better-fitting clothes. The visibility of these changes makes CoolSculpting a gratifying treatment.
A key aspect of fat reduction treatment with CoolSculpting is the progressive nature of the results. Improvements in the treated areas develop gradually, leading to a more natural-looking transformation.
The results of CoolSculpting can last indefinitely. This is because treated fat cells can’t regenerate. They are gone for good, which can lead to long-lasting outcomes. However, keeping a healthy lifestyle is still important because any fat cells remaining in the area can still expand with weight gain.
Body contouring with CoolSculpting is customizable. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s unique body shape and aesthetic goals. This allows for targeted treatment in specific areas and helps the treatment to align better with the patient’s desired outcomes.
While body sculpting can be effectively achieved with surgeries, not everyone is a good candidate for these procedures. CoolSculpting offers the benefits of a non-surgical treatment without incisions, anesthesia, or the downtime that comes with surgery.
During a body sculpting session with CoolSculpting, patients typically experience a sensation of intense cold as the treatment begins, which often dissipates as the area becomes numb. Other common and normal sensations during treatment are tingling and mild cramping. Most patients find they can read, work on their laptops, or rest during the treatment.
How long you spend in our office for your CoolSculpting session can vary depending on how many areas we are treating and other specifics of your treatment plan. Sessions can last between 35 and 75 minutes, and multiple areas can be treated during one appointment.
The full CoolSculpting results typically become visible within one to three months post-treatment. This time frame allows the body to naturally process and eliminate the dead fat cells, leading to a gradual reduction in fat thickness in the treated areas.
Ideal candidates for a CoolSculpting treatment are those close to their desired weight but struggling with pockets of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. Remember, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution but rather a method for reducing specific areas of unwanted fat.
The number of body contouring sessions with CoolSculpting varies depending on the individual’s goals and the amount of fat in the targeted areas. Some may see their desired results after just one session, while others may require additional sessions. This will be determined during a personalized consultation and treatment plan.
