How Much Fat Can You Reduce With This Treatment? This treatment can potentially help you get rid of 25% of body fat in any one treatment area. If this treatment is used on the belly area, for example, you can reduce the amount of fat there by at least 20% to 30%, which translates to several inches off your waistline.
Patients may begin to see an improvement in the treated area a few weeks after their treatment, but it may take up to four months before they enjoy their full and final results. While every patient is different, most patients benefit from one to three sessions for each area of concern.
CoolSculpting® is a great option if you are looking to get a flatter stomach. This is a treatment that can target specific pockets of fat on your body, like your belly fat. It is not a treatment that is used for overall weight loss. Instead, the CoolSculpting® body contouring device will be used on your abdominal fat.
After 8 to 10 weeks, about 90% of the targeted fat cells may have been removed, but for some, the result can continue to develop for 6 months. Cool sculpting can also be safely repeated in the same area with the procedures spaced about 3 weeks apart.
CoolSculpting has many benefits over other fat removal procedures, like liposuction. It's non-surgical, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time. Following a procedure, injured fat cells may take 4-6 months to leave the body. Cryolipolysis reduces fat in the treatment area by 20 percent on average.
Another way to improve results is with a massage. Try to massage the treated area for five minutes after treatment. Doing this can help improve fat reduction by up to 68 percent after the initial two months. Drinking more water may also help improve the results of Coolsculpting.
While CoolSculpting® is ideal for small pockets of fat, a tummy tuck will produce more intense results. If you have more than a little bit of fat that you would like reduced a tummy tuck may be a better option. A tummy tuck is a more invasive procedure, but that is only because it removes a lot at once.
Fortunately, research and results show that CoolSculpting treatments suggest this treatment does the opposite. The FDA now clears CoolSculpting to improve lax tissue appearance in the submental region, reducing neck and chin fat. This provides patients with fat reduction and skin tightening in the neck and chin area.
Restore your flat tummy with a tummy tuck
The process of a tummy tuck (otherwise known as an abdominoplasty) works by a surgeon making small incisions below your bikini line, through which they remove both excess skin and tighten your abdomen muscles. You can diet and exercise all you want.
CoolSculpting® stands apart from similar treatments because it is FDA-cleared to freeze fat in nine different treatment areas.
One session is normally enough for smaller areas, but if you want to treat a larger area or have a little more fat to address, two or three treatments may be necessary. In general, most people achieve their desired results after two sessions.
In most cases, however, patients require two to three treatment sessions per treatment area. You'll likely see an improvement in your treatment area about eight to twelve weeks after your CoolSculpting procedure. The most dramatic results will likely appear in 90 days.
Rather, it is designed to spot-reduce five to 10 pounds of fat from your trouble areas. The ideal candidate for body sculpting with CoolSculpting is within 10 to 30 pounds of her goal weight, has elastic skin, and is dedicated to leading a healthy lifestyle.
Drink a Lot Of Water
Drinking adequate amounts of water will help your body eliminate fat cells faster. Stay hydrated before and after the procedure to help your body recovery faster and give the treatment a chance to do its job.
Though CoolSculpting is not guaranteed to improve skin elasticity (skin tightness), CoolSculpting does not leave sagging skin. If your main concern is excess skin after dramatic weight loss, a cosmetic surgery such as a tummy tuck may be required.
Other common side effects that a person may experience in the first few weeks after CoolSculpting include: itchiness, especially a few days after the procedure. diarrhea, as dead fat cells are removed from the body. a feeling of fullness in the throat after treatments involving the neck or chin region.
The CoolSculpting® Elite is the latest innovation in Coolsculpting technology. Coolsculpting® has been used in our office for years with great success, but CoolSculpting® Elite is a more advanced treatment that offers excellent results while safer, more comfortable and delivers faster and better results.
Liposuction is a far less invasive procedure than a tummy tuck. It can be performed on almost any part of the body that has excess fat: the stomach, back, arms, legs, and even under the chin. During the procedure, a solution of saline, water, and anesthesia is injected into the fat cells to be removed.
Research generally points towards CoolSculpting being a relatively safe and effective treatment for removing some areas of fat. A 2020 study found that cryolipolysis that uses new and better-fitting applicators are safe and effective in quickly reducing excess fat in various body areas.
Experts strongly recommend getting a massage is a good coolsculpting aftercare routine. Studies have shown that people who get a massage after CoolSculpting typically get better results than those who do not get a massage. In fact, one study showed that a massage could improve CoolSculpting results by 68 percent.
A common way to tell if an area has enough fat to CoolSculpt it is by using the “pinch test.” Essentially, if you can pinch an area and get mainly fat, it can be CoolSculpted.
On average, it's best to wait at least one month between CoolSculpting sessions. This allows your body time to start showing results so you can gauge where you are in relation to where you want to be.
