Coolsculpting which is just another name for cryolipolysis is a body contouring procedure which in a nonsurgical way.
The process of removing body fats from various parts of the body with cosmetic treatments which also works by freezing up the fat cells to be removed from the various parts of the body is called coolsculpting treatment.
Plastic surgeons and other therapists target coolsculpting treatment to various body parts where it is very difficult to remove the body fats available there through exercises.
As the process is by freezing body fats,it’s important to know that the freezing is to break down the fat cells however cold does not damage other cells in the body the same way it does to the body fat cells therefore there are no threats posed to the skin,other body cells or tissues.
During these treatment processes,Vacuum is used on the fatty area of the body to cool the fat to be removed.
The process usually takes about an hour to be done and there’s no need for a recovery period because there are no damages to the skin or tissue.
However,people are said to have reported contractions in the area the coolsculpting took place,a similar feeling anyone could have got after an intense workout session.
The coolsculpting treatment is a noninvasive process,which means the coolsculpting treatment does not include surgery processes,needing no cuts,aesthetics,therefore there are very less risks attached to it than other body fats removal processes which involves the surgical aspects.The process is said to be safe but doesn’t mean it has no side effects
Most side effects start showing up after about 1 to 4 months.
However,the most common side effects after the coolsculpting process are:
-numbness
-stinging
-mild pain
-bruising amongst others.
The coolsculpting treatment is still very fairly new because it was only approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) back in 2012.
Although this treatment process is known to remove body fats but it’s also important to know it doesn’t work like magic,it’s needed to be given enough time for the results to start showing maximally.
However,the results and side effects vary from one person to another person and also the treatment process doesn’t work for everyone and does it works for ,it doesn’t work in same pattern and way.
The Side effects tend to vary,that is,it can be worse for a certain person than it does to another person.
In addition,a coolsculpting patient’s way of life also has an important role to play in e success or failure of the coolsculpting process.
For example,a patient with a steady consumption of an unhealthy diet tends to see or even expect a less reduction of fat even though he/she has undergone the coolsculpting treatment.
Also,given that a certain amount of water was sucked out of a sachet of water,is it possible to make the sachet firm and normal again like it was before the sucking took place?No,it’s not possible.This is the same that happens after the coolsculpting treatment,because there tends to be excess skin left out after the coolsculpting treatment.
Although it’s very advisable to burn fats through dieting and exercises through workouts .
The majority of people who result from coolsculpting are the ones that have already tried dieting,tried workouts then the fats refuse to be burnt.
The lot of these fats are called stubborn fats.
So,the coolsculpting practitioners often advise their patients to try out dieting and exercises first,then if the stubborn fats refuse to get burnt,they can always get the coolsculpting treatment done.
