Question:
Does fat return to other areas of the body after a CoolSculpting treatment?

Answer:
Fat gain after CoolSculpting can occur but not to treated area.
The fat cells that get “crystallized” with Coolsculpting die and get flushed out of your body and are permanently eliminated. If you gain weight, other fat cells around your body can expand. This expansion is not from the fat cells that were treated. It has been documented that 20 -25% of the fat cells in a treated area are permanently eliminated during a CoolSculpting treatment. Coolsculpting is excellent for reducing a bulge (like a bra line bulge or muffin top) that is diet/exercise resistant. It does not replace diet and exercise but it has helped many men and women achieve their desired shape.

Question:
Does freezing fat work? Is CoolSculpting® a reliable way to get rid of my bulges?

Answer:
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction office-based procedure that is clinically proven and FDA approved. During the procedure your unwanted fat bulge is drawn into the Coolsculpting® applicator and your fat is cooled without damaging the skin. When the applicator is released, your fat cells start to crystallize. At that point, some cells will enter a process called “apoptosis” and others will die through an inflammatory process in the body. Over 8-12 weeks, your cooled fat bulge will shrink 20-25%.

Based on science developed by a Harvard Physician, this breakthrough is based on research that demonstrates how fat cells are more susceptible to cold and are selectively and permanently destroyed.

Treatments last 1 -2 hours and have little or no downtime. Some patients may want additional treatments until they obtain a desired result. No anesthesia, laser or needles are involved and patients typically can return to normal activities within hours of their treatment. Most individuals can expect to see a 20-25% reduction in the treated area!

Nearly everyone has stubborn, diet-resistant pockets or bulges of fat, and this is a very effective treatment. I recommend it for those who lead healthy lifestyles but wish to trim the fat bulge off certain areas.
