During the last few decades, the choices within body contouring and plastic surgery have significantly increased. New techniques and new procedures have made it possible to shape every inch of the body. One of the latest methods that is taking the cosmetic industry by rage is CoolSculpting.

What is CoolSculpting

Based on the cryolipolysis technology, CoolSculpting uses the fat-freezing method to get rid of fat from certain parts of the body, especially the stubborn fat that’s difficult to shift, even with diet and exercise. Two doctors at Harvard Medical School observed that children who ate popsicles developed dimples on their cheeks, possibly due to the frozen treat. This led to the discovery of the concept that fat cells can possibly be frozen away for good. . .

The process of cryolipolysis is not actually a surgery and it does not use any needles either. Coolsculpting® procedure works by delivering controlled cooling to selectively target fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected.  The targeted area is held between two devices from 35 minutes to an hour to freeze & kill fat cells. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these dead cells. It takes a few months to show prominent results, but you will start noticing changes after a few weeks.
