What is CoolsculptingCoolSculpting utilizes the advanced cooling technology known as Cryolipolysis. The science behind cryolipolysis was based on two scientists’ observation that children who eat popsicles develop dimples because cold could selectively kill fat cells in cheeks. From this observation, CoolSculpting Cryolipolysis technique was developed whereas fat cells are cooled which induces apoptosis (natural cell death). These cells would then gradually be eliminated from the body.
The CoolSculpting technique is non-invasive, meaning knife, needle, anesthesia or suture will not be used! And yet it has been proven that it is an effective way to permanently reduce or eliminate fat from problem areas. However, results are noticeable 2 to 4 months after the procedure and it may take more than one treatment to attain greater reduction of fat layers. Compared to invasive liposuction procedures, the results of CoolSculpting is not as fast or dramatic but is rather mild. It is really not an ideal procedure for patients with large amounts of fat to be removed. Also, this procedure doesn't result to weight loss.
