Whether you’ve lost 10 or 100 pounds, you may find that once you reach your goal weight or come close to it, you still have bulges of fat you can’t eliminate, no matter how much you dial up your exercise or food intake.
Genetics and other factors affect how fat cells are distributed in your body and how they respond to individual efforts to banish them. The result is that everyone has different areas that accumulate resistant fat, and most are at a loss about what to do.
At Best Impression Med Spa in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, our expert team, led by Dr. Robert Mirabile and Dr. Vivian Hsu, understand how frustrating those stubborn fat deposits are. That’s why they offer FDA-cleared, nonsurgical CoolSculpting to fine-tune your figure and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat without downtime or scars.
The cold facts about CoolSculpting
You may have heard of liposuction, a treatment that sucks fat out of your body. It’s effective because it rids your body off the fat cells so they can never again swell and multiply. CoolSculpting also removes those cells, but without the invasive process of vacuuming out what’s inside of you.
Instead, CoolSculpting lowers the temperature of your fat cells, which disables them. They shut down and crystallize. The good news is that because fat freezes at a higher temperature than water, your skin, organs, muscles, and other tissues aren’t affected by the CoolSculpting process.
Within a few months of your treatment, your body naturally breaks down the crystallized, dead fat cells and processes them through your lymph system. Your body doesn’t regenerate the eliminated fat cells.
Our team is well known for its medical knowledge, clinical experience, and artistic eye. Once he gets to know you and how you envision your ideal body shape, he carefully sculpts your silhouette into a smooth new you. He selects from a variety of treatment handles that contour perfectly to the area you want to treat, including:
Each CoolSculpting treatment eliminates up to 20-25% of fat at a time. However, while it’s capable of freezing away inches of extra unwanted fat, it’s not meant to be a weight loss program. However, once you are within 20-30 pounds and need help with diet-resistant fat, CoolSculpting can bridge the gap and help you cross the finish line.
One of the reasons CoolSculpting has become so popular is that it’s painless and requires no downtime. You won’t need to take weeks off of work after your CoolSculpting treatment. You won’t even need to take a day off. At most, you may be a little swollen and uncomfortable for a couple of days, and your skin might be slightly pinker than usual; most people feel ready to tackle their normal activities right after their treatment.
That said, pay attention to your body; if you need to take it easy for a day or two, that’s what you should do.
CoolSculpting’s fat-elimination process lets your results appear gradually and naturally. Depending on how much fat you want to lose, the team may recommend 1-3 CoolSculpting treatments.
Unlike liposuction and other permanent fat-removal techniques, CoolSculpting won’t leave you with loose, saggy skin. One of the advantages of CoolSculpting is that its patented cryolipolysis method of freezing away fat also triggers your skin to tighten up as the fat volume decreases. CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared treatment for tightening loosened submental (under the chin) skin during double-chin removal.
Afterward, it’s essential to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine that will help you keep your new shape because even though you’ll have fewer fat cells than before, the remaining fat cells will expand if you’re not careful.
