What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Remove Fat
CoolSculpting works on the principle of cryolipolysis, or the non-invasive cooling of fatty tissue to induce lipolysis (the breaking down of fat cells) without damage to other tissue. One treatment will reduce 22% of the fat cell within two to four months and will create a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction.
The science behind the Zeltiq™ Procedure, called Cryolipolysis™, was developed by world-renowned dermatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, MA, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Leading dermatologists Dr. Dieter Manstein, Dr. R. Rox Anderson and their team at MGH showed that fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissues. Consequently, fat cells that are selectively exposed to precisely controlled cooling can be safely eliminated without harming the skin.
CoolSculpting Treatments Achieve Natural, Gradual Fat Reduction
The CoolSculpting involve a non-invasive applicator delivering precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of the body. The CoolSculpting System precisely controls the rate of cooling. When fat cells are exposed to controlled cooling, it triggers a process of natural fat cell removal which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The fat cells in the treated area are gradually eliminated through the body's normal metabolic processes, similar to how fat from food is eliminated.
CoolSculpting Is Non Invasive and Requires No Down Time
With this non-invasive procedure, there are no needles, no incisions, no need for anesthesia or pain medications, and no recovery time. CoolSculpting is comfortable for most patients and they can read, work on their laptop computer, listen to music or just relax during the procedure. Most patients typically resume their normal routine on the same day as the procedure.
