CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses advanced fat-freezing technology to target specific areas of the body. At Cosmos Clinic, clients often ask whether this treatment works and how it compares to other fat reduction options like Liposuction. Here’s everything you need to know.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting uses a technique called cryolipolysis to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. This FDA-approved treatment is based on research by Harvard University, which discovered that fat cells break down when exposed to cold temperatures.
Once frozen, the damaged fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body over several weeks through the lymphatic system. Most people begin to see results within a few weeks, with outcomes typically visible around the three-month mark.
A 2009 study found cryolipolysis could reduce the fat layer in treated areas by up to 25%. It is a safe, non-surgical procedure with no significant downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting may be suitable for individuals looking to reduce fat in specific areas but who prefer a non-surgical approach. However, it’s important to note that the fat reduction achieved with CoolSculpting is generally less than what can be achieved with surgical options like Vaser Liposuction.
Common Areas Treated with CoolSculpting Include:
- Stomach
- Hips
- Waist
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back
- Arms
- Underneath the buttocks
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure and doesn’t address issues like cellulite. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise both before and after treatment is essential to sustain the results.
What to Expect from CoolSculpting
While results vary between individuals, many clients find CoolSculpting worthwhile because of its convenience and minimal recovery time.
Benefits of CoolSculpting:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- No need for anaesthesia
- Minimal to no downtime required
- Treatment is relatively comfortable
- Safe and FDA-approved
After treatment, some clients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or numbness in the treated area. These side effects usually resolve quickly.
Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
CoolSculpting may be a good option if you are looking to reduce fat in targeted areas without surgery. For more significant fat reduction or multiple areas, surgical procedures like Vaser Liposuction may be more suitable.
At Cosmos Clinic, we typically recommend 2–3 sessions for optimal results, depending on your goals and the number of areas being treated.
