Are you looking for a way to get rid of stubborn fat that just doesn’t seem to go away, no matter how much you diet or exercise? If so, then CoolSculpting may be the solution for you.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) is a non-invasive, body contouring procedure that uses special technology to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells from the body. The treated fat cells are then flushed out of the body through the lymphatic system.

CoolSculpting is FDA -cleared for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and upper arms. Also, it is the only non-invasive fat reduction treatment that is FDA-cleared for double chin.

CoolSculpting is a great option for people who are looking to reduce their stubborn fat without surgery or downtime. The CoolSculpting procedure is comfortable, and most patients see noticeable results in as little as one treatment.

How does it work?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-reduction procedure that uses cooling technology to eliminate stubborn fat cells, sculpting a slimmer and more toned physique. The CoolSculpting device gently cools targeted fat cells in the body, freezing them to the point of destruction. Once frozen, the fat cells are then naturally flushed out of the body over time, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

CoolSculpting is most effective in treating areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, love handles, inner thighs, outer thighs, back fat, under the chin, and upper arms.

During your CoolSculpting procedure, you may feel pressure and intense cold as the cooling device is applied to your skin. However, this is normal and should subside as the area numbs. Some patients also experience mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling after their CoolSculpting treatment, but these side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

The effectiveness of CoolSculpting based on clinical trials

Nowadays, there are many methods for reducing body fat, but CoolSculpting is one of the most popular and effective. Below, we will analyze the clinical trials that have been conducted to study the efficacy of this treatment.

One study [1] included 28 patients who treated various body parts, in particular the abdomen, flanks, double chin, arms. On average, 4 procedures were performed with an interval of 4 weeks. As a result of the treatment, patient satisfaction was high. The average change in body fat was 40%.

The following study [2] was conducted over several years and included a total of 518 patients. The procedure was well tolerated: 89% of respondents rated the duration of treatment positively. Measurements showed a 23% reduction in fat layer thickness after 3 months. The most effective were the areas of treatment of the abdomen, back, and sides.

Another study [3] included 85 patients who treated cryolipolysis. As a result, after 6 months, patients showed an average fat reduction of 21.5%. Overall scores were highest for the abdomen, thighs, and bra bolsters. Minimal side effects were observed, but patients did not experience significant downtime.

The next study [5] included 30 patients who underwent one cycle of cryolipolysis followed by ultrasonic therapy. As a result of the treatment, a high level of satisfaction was found in the majority of patients 76.7%. Most patients described treatment-related discomfort as minimal or tolerable.

The latest study [4] included 20 patients treated with CoolSculpting. Two cycles were carried out on the sides and back (each for 60 minutes). The result was an improvement of an average of 43%. Side effects were limited to erythema, edema, bruising, numbness, or tingling at the treatment site and disappeared without treatment.

How to prepare for CoolSculpting

Preparing for CoolSculpting treatment is important to help ensure a successful treatment. By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your CoolSculpting treatment goes smoothly.

  • Avoid taking any medications or supplements that can thin your blood, such as aspirin or ibuprofen

It is important to avoid these medications because they can increase the risk of bruising. Also, be sure to let your CoolSculpting provider know if you are taking any blood thinners.

  • Arrive at your treatment with clean skin

Be sure to shower and wash the area that will be treated before your appointment. This will help the applicator adhere better to your skin.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment

You will be able to go about your day after your treatment, but you may want to wear something that is comfortable and does not constrict the treated area.

  • Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment 

Drinking plenty of water will help your body flush out the fat cells that will be removed during treatment.

  • Eat a healthy meal before your treatment

You want to make sure you have plenty of energy for your treatment day. Eating a healthy meal will help you feel your best.

What are the risks and side effects of Cryolipolysis?

CoolSculpting is generally safe, but you may experience some side effects, just like with any other treatment.

Some common side effects of CoolSculpting include:

  • Pain or aches

After the CoolSculpting procedure, you may experience mild pain, tingling, or aching at the treatment site. This may be due to the intense cold temperatures used in the treatment. This side effect usually lasts 3-11 days and disappears on its own.

  • Skin irritation

Exposure to cold from Coolsculpting can cause skin irritation. This in turn provokes the appearance of swelling, bruising, as well as a temporary change in the skin. This goes away after a few weeks.

  • Numbness

In some cases, patients may feel numbness in the treated area. It is because of the nerve endings getting irritated by the extreme cold. This numbness usually goes away within a few weeks.

  • Redness or swelling

The skin at the treatment site may become red or swollen immediately after the procedure. This side effect usually goes away within a day or two.

If you experience any of these side effects, don’t hesitate to call your doctor. CoolSculpting is generally safe, but it’s always best to consult with a medical professional before undergoing any treatment.
