How Does CoolSculpting® Work?

The majority of people today are able to reluctantly point to a few areas of our bodies where there is a small amount of excess fat. Although they are perfectly normal, they frequently impede our efforts to achieve the bodies we desire and can be extremely challenging to eliminate, particularly for women. Women generally have more fat cells than men do, which becomes more apparent during pregnancy and increases with age.

There is a healthy range of body fat percentages that support healthy body function. However, when it comes to losing some fat, progress can be sluggish and frustrating. We should exercise regularly and adhere to diets, but these activities only get us so far.

The only "extra" way to lose weight quickly in the past was surgery, which involved literally removing fat tissues. Fortunately, we also have CoolSculpting®, a new noninvasive treatment that freezes fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue and requires almost no downtime. 

What exactly is CoolSculpting in Dubai and how does it function? Let's go over it in detail.

CoolSculpting®: What Is It?

The first thing to know about CoolSculpting® is that it is just the brand name of a specific fat-freezing technology developed by Allergan, the company that makes BOTOX®. It is not the actual procedure.

Cryolipolysis is the fat-freezing technique behind CoolSculpting®, which lets you get rid of stubborn fat in certain places on your body. It is endorsed by both the FDA and Wellbeing Canada.

The world's most popular cryolipolysis treatment, CoolSculpting® is distinct from all previous body contouring procedures. Lasers or surgery were used for a long time to get rid of fat, which often hurt the healthy tissues around it, took a long time to heal, and had a high risk of side effects.

Researchers from Harvard investigated the behavior of fat cells during frostbite to discover cryolipolysis. They can be destroyed without affecting the surrounding areas due to their higher freezing point than other cells. In essence, your body breaks down and eliminates the fat cells. The change is permanent, even though the process is slow and can take up to 12 weeks to see all of the results. Afterward, those fat cells won't return to the same location. Even if you gain weight in the future, fat cells are likely to distribute fat more evenly and will not follow the same pattern.

CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive treatment that does not require surgery. The treatment uses special paddles that quickly cool down and target specific areas for 45 minutes to an hour, destroying approximately 25% of the fat cells in that area. There are no needles involved.

Within a few weeks of your CoolSculpting® treatment, you will begin to see changes in your body contour, with full results lasting up to a few months. Patients frequently undergo multiple sessions of CoolSculpting®, with each session typically focusing on a single area.

How is Coolsculpting carried out?

CoolSculpting® is a cutting-edge fat-freezing technology. It delivers controlled cooling to fat cells without harming the tissues around them.

During a CoolSculpting® procedure, gel pads that protect your skin from freezing are used to apply cooling applicators to specific areas for up to one hour, depending on the area being treated. After that, the applicators are set to a precise cold temperature, freezing your fat cells.

Even though the applicator will initially feel cool, you won't feel any discomfort for a few minutes. The technician will massage the area to help break up the fat cells after the cooling process is finished. In the end, you probably won't even notice any marks on your body.

After a CoolSculpting® treatment, there is almost no downtime required. You can immediately return to work if you do it during your lunch break.

To ensure the best results, all CoolSculpting® treatments at Dermetics are carried out by highly skilled aesthetic nurse technicians under the direction of either Dr. Muhn or Dr. Rosen.

Who Might Benefit from CoolSculpting®?

Even though CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive, safe, and quick procedure, it is important to know that it is still a specialized treatment that may not be right for everyone.

For instance, CoolSculpting® is not a method for losing weight. It is a body-contouring method that works best for people who eat well, exercise regularly, and are not far off their ideal weight. If this is the case, CoolSculpting® may be the most effective way to get rid of specific areas of fat that won't go away.

The following are some popular CoolSculpting® treatment areas:

Cryoglobulinemia (the thickening of proteins in cold temperatures), cold urticaria (getting hives when exposed to cold), and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (the destruction of red blood cells with cold exposure) are other conditions for which CoolSculpting® is not recommended.

What are the side effects of CoolSculpting®?

The fact that CoolSculpting® generally has very few side effects and requires almost no downtime is one of its greatest advantages. You can drive yourself home and resume your usual activities immediately following the appointment.

Patients may experience some pulling on their skin and the sensation of being cold during the treatment. As a result, the treatment area might hurt like it had been working out.

Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, and an increase in skin sensitivity in some instances. These side effects should go away within about a week of the treatment.

Instructions to Plan for Your CoolSculpting® Arrangement

Studies have shown that cryolipolysis is a protected and compelling way for disposing of fat in designated regions around your body. There is no harm done to healthy skin tissues or internal organs, and side effects are rare and mild. The best part is that the results last forever.
