Fat Freezing
Fat freezing is an FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that permanently destroys fat cells. It’s also known as CoolSculpting, the branded name of the procedure developed by Zeltiq, the company that invented it.
The device used in a fat freezing session is positioned over the area to be treated. You may feel a pressure and cold sensation during treatment, followed by numbness and sensitivity.
It’s Non-Invasive
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis or CoolSculpting, is a noninvasive and safe way to reduce stubborn pockets of fat in the body. The fat freezing treatment is FDA-cleared and has become a popular alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction.
During a treatment session, a gel pad is placed on the skin, and then the applicator’s hollow opening is placed over a fatty bulge. You may feel tugging or pulling sensations, but these should lessen after the first 10 minutes. The device then transmits cold temperatures to the fatty tissue, which destroys it and leaves other tissues unaffected.
A treatment takes between 45 and 60 minutes. After the fatty cells are destroyed, they gradually die off and are eliminated through the body’s natural lymphatic system. Once the fat cells die, they cannot grow back, which is why many patients experience long-lasting results. However, the results of fat freezing are not permanent, and patients must maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep their results. This is why it is important to choose a qualified healthcare provider for your procedure.

This is due to a process known as cryolipolysis. fat freezing Scientists discovered that fat freezes at a different temperature than skin cells, and this allowed them to destroy the fat cells in the targeted area without harming the surrounding tissues. The result is a more slim and toned figure, with results that are permanent as long as you maintain your weight.

Fat freezing can eliminate stubborn pockets of fat in just a single session. After the treatment, your body naturally recognizes the dead cells as waste products and expels them through your lymphatic system. While some people experience lengthy bruising and sharp pain that takes a week to subside after a CoolSculpting treatment, this is typically temporary. If you’re struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to months of dieting and exercise, a fat freezing session might be the answer.
It’s important to note that, despite its effectiveness, fat freezing is not an alternative to weight loss. You will still need to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle if you want to sustain the results of your fat freezing treatment. You can discuss this with our team during your consultation.
