Is there really a non-surgical alternative to liposuction?

Summer! It’s almost here! When that warm sunny weather arrives will a stubborn pocket of fat be affecting your wardrobe choices? Why not ditch the spare tire and get rid of the fat clothes? Yes, it is possible to say goodbye to those bulges without diet, without exercise, and without surgery!

Many people have stubborn pockets of fat that simply do not respond to diet or exercise. Until recently surgery was the only option. Now there is a non-surgical option that has become so popular it’s quickly becoming a household name. It’s a medical treatment known as CoolSculpting®.

The technology behind CoolSculpting was born in the 1970’s from the simple observation that children who were eating a lot of popsicles were developing dimples in their cheeks where dimples had not previously existed. It was also observed that women riding horses in the winter were reporting fat loss on their inner thighs. Research determined that when fat is exposed to extreme cold for a specific period of time it will freeze, while other tissue remains unharmed. Now, that called for some further investigation! Surely this phenomenon could be put to good use!

CoolSculpting is clinically proven to freeze away fat!

Research that was done at Harvard Medical School determined that when fat cells are frozen they crystallize and undergo apoptosis. What this means in layman’s terms is that the cold exposure causes the cells to die much the same as they would from natural old-age. The difference is that when cells die of old-age they replicate themselves before they pass away. In this case there is no time to replicate. After the treatment the crystallized fat cells clear gradually through the body's natural physiological processes. Most people start noticing a difference at about the four week mark. At eight weeks the results are usually undeniable, and results continue to improve for four months.

Those fat cells are gone for good.

CoolSculpting works well, achieving results that are comparable to liposuction, but without the risks, discomfort or downtime of surgery. This revolutionary fat freezing procedure is a clinically proven alternative to liposuction that can reduce localized pockets of fat. CoolSculpting is most often used to target fat on the abdomen, the outer thighs, and the flanks. Other areas that patients commonly seek out include back fat, man-boobs, inner thighs, arms and double chins. In most cases only one treatment is required, although patients looking to de-bulk may require a second round.
