Fat Freezing – Get Rid of Stubborn Pounds of Fat That Diet and Exercise Can’t Get Rid of
Fat freezing is a non-invasive procedure that targets pesky areas that refuse to shift even with diet and exercise. It’s safe, convenient and delivers real results that are long-lasting.
During this treatment, paddles are used to suction the area into an applicator that freezes the fat cells. The dead cells are then naturally eliminated by the body.
No Need for Incisions or Needles
Fat freezing is one of the best solutions for reducing stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise can’t get rid of. Known by the brand name CoolSculpting, this FDA-approved procedure uses a noninvasive technology to freeze fat cells without harming surrounding skin and tissue. This treatment is often fat freezing compared to liposuction but offers a number of advantages. Liposuction requires anesthesia, incisions, and a lengthy recovery period. It’s also expensive and not suitable for everyone.
A trained specialist can perform the procedure on your thighs, flanks, abdomen, back fat, or love handles with a smooth, round-shaped applicator that holds the area between two paddles. The device will apply suction and cold to destroy fat cells and eliminate them from the body. Most patients describe the process as comfortable and pain-free. It’s not unusual to feel some tingling or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.
After destroying the fat cells, the immune system slowly flushes away the dead tissues over a few months. This is how you see long-term results for a firmer, tighter, and slimmer body. While this is not a weight loss solution, it can help you lose 5-10 pounds in your target area. This can give you more confidence in displaying your toned physique. It’s also a great option for people who exercise regularly but have pockets of resistant fat that cling to their muscles.
No Downtime
Fat freezing is a non-invasive solution that doesn’t require lengthy periods of downtime like some surgical options do. While there might be a slight bit of redness or swelling after treatment, this is very easy to manage and won’t keep you off your feet for weeks on end.
The FDA-approved device that we use for this treatment, known as Coolsculpting, works by delivering cold temperatures to the targeted area. These temperatures cause the stubborn fat cells to go through a process called apoptosis, which means they die and are eliminated from the body. This eliminates the problem areas that diet and exercise have not been able to tame, leaving you with a slimmer figure.
Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good. This is true of many other non-invasive methods, but fat freezing takes it a step further by offering truly permanent results. However, if you do gain weight after undertaking cryolipolysis, the fat cells that have been killed will not grow back in those specific trouble spots, but they might be replaced by other fat cells from other parts of your body.
This is why we encourage you to consult with an experienced medical professional before engaging in any at-home fat freezing treatments. A reputable healthcare professional will be able to assess your situation and determine which applicator, session amount, and treatment approach is best for you.
No Pain
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a noninvasive alternative to surgical fat removal treatments like liposuction. This treatment sculpts stubborn pockets of fat in the body that won’t respond to diet or exercise alone.
In order to achieve the body shape you desire, our Tijuana dermatologists use a special vacuum-like applicator with an insulated cooling surface that pulls the fat layer up into the cup-like device. This ensures a safe and effective treatment. Some patients experience mild discomfort during their Cooltech session, but this soon dissipates as the area becomes numb. Afterward, the skin may feel slightly inflamed and itchy, but these symptoms are short-lived.
The treatment’s effectiveness is attributed to the fact that fat cells have a higher sensitivity to cold temperature, which destroys them while leaving healthy tissue undamaged. This makes fat freezing a non-surgical treatment with very little downtime.
Fat freezing is an excellent choice for anyone looking to remove pesky pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise alone. However, it is best to combine this treatment with a healthy eating and exercise routine for maximum results.
Permanent Results
Fat freezing permanently destroys fat fat freezing cells, resulting in permanent body slimming results. The procedure is ideal for those who struggle to lose weight or tone certain areas of the body through diet and exercise.
The process is quick, easy and painless. You will lie down while a practitioner places the fat freezing applicator on the problem area. The initial part of the treatment can feel a bit uncomfortable due to the cold temperature being applied, but after that it is quite comfortable and you can relax. The session lasts around 45 to 60 minutes. After the fat freezing is completed, your practitioner will massage the treated area to both soften it and to kick start lymphatic flow which will aid with the elimination of the dead fat cells.
A typical round of treatments will yield up to a 25% reduction in fat. However, this depends on your individual goals and desired results. Fat freezing is a non-invasive and safe option for those who are unhappy with stubborn pockets of fat in the thighs, abdomen, flanks, or chin area.
The procedure is not meant to be a weight loss solution, but rather a way to target stubborn pockets of fat in the body. Despite killing the fat cells, the body may still store fat elsewhere, so it is important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits after a desired number of treatments.
