Understanding the Coolsculpting Process: What Happens to Fat Cells?

Aging, weight gain or loss, and lack of physical activity can all lead to changes in your body shape. There is a revolutionary body contouring treatment available from your dermatologist. It’s called CoolSculpting and it can give you back your curves. The aesthetic providers at Tulsa Hills Cosmetic and Laser Skin Center provide a wide range of medical and cosmetic dermatology services for the face and body, including CoolSculpting.

What You Need To Know About CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a unique process, unlike other body contouring treatments. Many body-contouring treatments use heat to destroy fat cells. Heat applied to tissues can cause some discomfort. CoolSculpting is different. It uses cold energy to freeze fat cells, a process known as cryolipolysis. The fat cells are destroyed during the freezing process, and they are naturally excreted by your body.

CoolSculpting is a comfortable process. During your session, two cooling panels are applied to fat deposits. A slight sensation of pulling and slight pressure on the treatment area are common. The entire CoolSculpting session takes only about an hour.

CoolSculpting has become a popular way to lose fat and reshape your body. Consider that CoolSculpting is:

• Minimally invasive, because CoolSculpting targets only the fat cells and not the surrounding tissue
• Effective because CoolSculpting removes stubborn fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise
• Easy, because CoolSculpting doesn’t require incisions, sutures, or suctioning
• It is convenient because CoolSculpting is performed as an outpatient procedure, requiring no hospital stay

CoolSculpting can help you lose up to 25 percent of fat deposits in the treatment area, after just one visit. Additional CoolSculpting treatments add to your amazing results. You will notice a difference in as little as three weeks after treatment, with optimal effects being seen after one to three months.
