Is CoolSculpting A Safe Solution For Weight Loss? 

Imagine melting away stubborn fat without getting sweaty. CoolSculpting, an innovative, non-surgical procedure, promises to reshape your body by freezing fat cells. But is it safe? Learn all about this innovative body contouring and non-surgical fat removal treatment to achieve the physique you have always dreamt of!

So let's start by understanding what is CoolSculpting—

A Process Of Freezing Away Fat

Cool Sculpting, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a cosmetic procedure that zaps away fat cells by freezing them. This treatment zeroes in on stubborn fat pockets/ fatty tissues, reshaping your body without surgery.

Imagine targeting those pesky areas where fat clings no matter what you do. Cool Sculpting aims for these spots, leaving you with a more sculpted look. It’s a non-invasive way to chisel away the extra fluff and reveal your body's natural curves.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

As the name implies, this non-surgical or say non-invasive way of fat reduction includes freezing of the fat cells in certain targeted areas. Your dermatologist will begin with a cooling applicator placed on that targeted area and the device chills will cause those fat cells beneath the skin to crystallize and perish. Over time, your body will naturally flush out these dead cells, revealing a sleeker silhouette. Each session lasts between 35 minutes to an hour. 

Now, we often come across a misconception clouded around this treatment— CoolSculpting helps reduce weight loss. Well, that's a partial truth. Let us explain it for you.

How Does CoolSculpting Help In Losing Weight?

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, but rather a highly effective fat cell reduction treatment; a process of body contouring. We have seen many patients confusing weight loss with fat loss. To the best of your knowledge, you must know there is a difference between losing weight and losing fat. 

Body fat is of two types one that fluctuates as per your lifestyle, and there is another the stubborn fat. You can lose weight but not the number of fat cells. On the other hand when you start gaining weight, both your fat cell size and number increase (the fat cell shrinks when you lose weight).

CoolSculpting focuses on freezing those stubborn fat cells, thus, eliminating them permanently from the treated area. The cooling effect ruptures the fat cells and over time, your body metabolizes them. With the help of this cosmetic treatment, you will get a more toned or contoured body but not any dramatic weight loss. Each session can nearly diffuse 25% of fat cells in the treating area. 

Remember, CoolSculpting helps in slimming those unwanted stubborn fat bulges that do not go away even after doing loads of exercise and dieting.

  • Thighs
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Back
  • Under the chin
  • Upper arms
  • Bra-line area

Drawbacks Of Non-invasive Body Contouring

While Cool Sculpting is generally safe, it does come with potential risks:

i) Temporary Discomfort:

You might endure tingling, numbness, or see redness. The cooling process targets fat cells by freezing them, which can leave your skin feeling quite cold and numb during and after the procedure. This can result in temporary tingling or a slight stinging sensation that might last for several days.

ii) Uneven Results:

Some areas might thrive while others lag. Since each person’s body reacts differently, the treated areas may not always yield uniform results. This could lead to certain sections looking slimmer than others. However, under the expert supervision of Dr V.S. Rathore, the treatment can be done to achieve the desired appearance.

iii) Cost:

Cool Sculpting isn’t a one-time solution for everyone. Depending on your goals and the amount of bulges you want to reduce, you might need several sessions. The cost can quickly add up, making it a significant financial investment. Therefore, multiple sessions can deplete your wallet (But then, good looks is worth spending a fortune).
