Fat Freezing – A Non-Invasive Way to Reduce Stubborn Pounds of Fat
Time and again, fat freezing has proved to be one of the best options available for reducing stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to respond to diet and exercise. It is a non-invasive treatment, with no downtime and guaranteed results.
Also known as CoolSculpting, it works by triggering death of fat cells through cold temperatures. It is safe and effective for most areas of the body including thighs, saddlebags, arms, back fat, love handles, stomach, and chin and male chest.
Natural-looking results
From thunder thighs to love handles, fat freezing treatment can dramatically reduce stubborn pockets of fat on the body. This FDA-cleared noninvasive procedure offers a safe and natural solution to achieve a more toned physique. It is a great alternative to liposuction, which can be invasive and pose the risk of scarring or other post-treatment complications. During your consultation, our team will assess your aesthetic goals and determine the number of treatments you may require to reach your desired results.
Fat freezing uses precise & controlled cooling to destroy fat cells while leaving the skin undamaged. This is done through a patented technology called CoolSculpting, which is administered in-office by certified medical and nursing professionals. It is an extremely safe procedure, and the results are long-lasting.
This nonsurgical cosmetic procedure can target stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise, including the belly, thighs, double chin, and arms. A good candidate is an individual in good health who wants to address pockets of fat that are not responsive to a healthy lifestyle. The team at Emerson Medical can help you find out if this innovative treatment is right for you. We can also offer a range of other body contouring treatments, such as Kybella injections and Thermage FLX skin tightening, to enhance the appearance of your new, leaner physique.
Permanent removal of fat cells
Fat freezing is a noninvasive procedure and doesn’t leave any marks or scars on the skin. It’s a popular option for people who want to lose weight without changing their appearance or having invasive procedures. It fat freezing also produces natural-looking results, which are obtained gradually rather than all at once.
With this treatment, your fat cells are frozen to death with the FDA-approved technology of CoolSculpting. This technology selectively exposes your fat cells to freezing temperatures while avoiding other tissue cells, which makes it an excellent solution for stubborn body areas. The body’s natural elimination system then eliminates the frozen cells and their contained fat over a period of weeks and months, leaving you with a slimmer, more sculpted physique.
However, it’s important to remember that fat freezing is not a magic cure-all for obesity. You’ll still need to maintain a balanced diet and exercise in order to keep your results in check.
The number of fat cells you have is predetermined by your genetics. Your body stores fat in different parts of the body depending on whether you have more alpha or beta receptors, which encourage or discourage fat cell growth. This means that even if you go to the gym regularly and eat healthy, there may be some stubborn pockets of fat in your arms or legs that won’t budge despite working out and eating right.
No downtime
Fat freezing treatment is a non-surgical, zero downtime procedure that kills fat cells. The frozen cells break apart and are naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic system. A light massage is recommended fat freezing after your session to speed up the process. It’s important to drink 2 litres of water a day as this will help to flush out the dead fat cells more quickly.
You’ll experience some pressure and cold during your treatment but this dissipates as the area becomes numb. Some patients read, watch videos or even take a nap during the procedure. You might also feel a slight tingling sensation but this is normal and goes away quickly.
The technique used during a fat freezing treatment was based on research into frostbite and it was found that the fatty tissue would freeze before the skin did. This is why the technique does not leave any scars and is completely safe for your skin.
Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they’ll be permanently removed from your body. It’s important to note that fat freezing does not prevent new cells from forming, so you can still gain weight if you don’t maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. However, if you do maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results from your fat freezing treatments will be long-lasting. You can expect to see results four to six weeks after your sessions and they’ll continue to improve over time.
No invasive surgery
Unlike many surgical options, which may require weeks of downtime to recover from, fat freezing is a non-invasive procedure. During treatment, patients experience mild redness and swelling which is easily managed with an ice pack or a warm towel. The biggest benefit is that there are no needles, incisions or anesthesia required, meaning patients can return to work and other activities immediately following the session.
During the treatment, the Cooltech machine delivers controlled cooling to fatty tissue beneath the skin, without damaging surrounding tissue. The frozen fatty cells die off and are eliminated from the body naturally over the course of several months, providing long-lasting results. This process is known as cryolipolysis and has been rated safe for use in the treatment of stubborn fat areas by leading medical organisations.
The treatment can be used to target multiple fat areas at the same time, including the belly, inner and outer thighs, flanks, bra fat, the double chin and upper arms. The procedure is suitable for both men and women who are close to their ideal weight and have localised pockets of fat that resist the effects of diet and exercise. However, it is important to note that fat freezing does not replace a healthy eating plan and should only be used as part of a wider weight loss regime.
