FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK?
- Cryolipolysis is a name for the process of selectively targeting only the fat cells, or adipose tissue, that is causing the skin to bulge in specific areas of the body. This is a safe method for changing the shape of these areas without causing any harm to the connecting tissues, skin or muscles. You can expect a reduction of almost 25 percent within the first treatment.
- After the cooling agent succeeds in selectively freezing only the unwanted fat cells, the next event that occurs is the elimination process. This takes place automatically because the body will recognize each frozen cell as a foreign substance that needs to be removed. These cells will be expelled through your body’s natural elimination process. Since these adipose cells will die as a result of the Coolsculpting procedure, the removal process will occur without any need for surgical intervention.
- Over a period of several weeks or months afterwards, an additional process will take place. Adipose tissues remaining within the treated area will begin to condense down into a more compact layer, which makes the area appear thin and smooth.
