You can ask just about anyone, and they’ll probably tell you they’d love to change just one part of their body. It’s usually stubborn fat pockets that have been unsuccessful in dieting and exercising away. While we have the tendency to be our own worst critic, especially when it comes to the way we look, what if we don’t have to be? What if you could skip hours spent in the gym and on a restrictive diet with seemingly no results?

At Desert Med Aesthetics, CoolSculpting^® is one way we can help you do just that.

What Is CoolSculpting^®?

CoolSculpting is a trademarked cryolipolysis treatment that safely cools targeted areas of the body to temperatures well below normal body temperature. During a CoolSculpting treatment, a handheld device is used on targeted areas at regulated temperatures and for precise lengths of time to effectively cool fat cells to the degree that triggers a metabolic process that causes them to die and be flushed naturally from the body.

Below, we’ve listed 5 of our favorite things about the procedure!

5 Facts About CoolSculpting^®

1. CoolSculpting^® Can Be Used on Different Areas Of The Body

CoolSculpting can be used all of the body where stubborn body fat has accumulated, including the:

• Abdomen
• Love Handles or Muffin Top
• Double Chin
• Inner Thighs
• Upper Thighs
• Arms
• Back
• Buttock
• Jaw

2. CoolSculpting^® Is Non-Surgical

As an alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting does not require any incisions, cutting, or sutures. Instead, it uses cryolipolysis, which freezes cells at a higher temperature than other cells. There is no damage done to the surrounding tissues, so it can be much faster and more convenient than liposuction. Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body flushes them out through the natural metabolic process.

3. Patients Have Reported Up To 25% Fat Loss After One Treatment

While everyone is different, in clinical studies, patients have measured up to 25% fat loss after a single treatment. Because CoolSculpting is engineered for sculpting rather than specifically for weight loss, this is often enough fat for patients to be satisfied with their silhouette. It is important to remember that CoolSculpting is not to be used as an alternative for weight loss but rather as a partner in your journey for areas that are not responding to diet and exercise alone.

4. CoolSculpting Requires Little Downtime

A CoolSculpting treatment is relatively quick, depending on the targeted areas. While the treatment itself can involve slight tingling or a deep cold sensation when the handpiece is on the targeted area, this will not prevent you from going about your normal business once your treatment is done. Some redness, swelling, or bruising is entirely normal and should typically subside after a few hours.

5. CoolSculpting results take time to become visible

The body’s metabolic process is not an overnight sensation; it takes time for the body to filter away dead fat cells. Your CoolSculpting results should be noticeable after about 3-4 weeks following your treatment and continue to improve over the next 6 months.
