If you're looking to get the ideal shape you've always wanted, without the recovery time associated with traditional liposuction, Cool Sculpting may be for you.
Can you imagine getting body contouring procedures without having to go under the knife? There’s an option out there for those looking for a less invasive alternative to liposuction, called Cool Sculpting. It uses controlled cooling to selectively damage fat cells, thereby changing the shape of your body. Once the fat cells are damaged the body can get rid of them naturally. Cool Sculpting was recently approved by the FDA, and has been growing in popularity around the nation.
The patient is awake for the entire procedure and can even do things such as read, work on a laptop, or just relax. Once the procedure is over, most patients will be able to resume their daily activities immediately with only minor redness and bruising. The procedure only lasts about 60 minutes, making it a perfect way to spend your lunch hour. The risks are pretty minimal and minor bruising is the major side effect.
Cool Sculpting is ideal for people who are close to their target weight but just have a few problem areas. For more invasive and larger areas, liposuction is still recommended. Cool Sculpting will allow the patient to lose a few inches in one procedure.
The results are not immediately seen, in fact the best results will be seen around two to three months after the procedure. Cool Sculpting allows for a gradual reduction of the fact. The full results may take up to four months before becoming evident. This procedure is great for losing a few inches, and a wonderful option for those that would prefer to go the non- surgical route. However, if you are looking for dramatic results, your best bet is still traditional liposuction.
