Coolsculpting® is a non-invasive, FDA-approved fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis technology to break down fat cells, causing them to shrink and release their contents. Fat cell therapy offers a safe, non-surgical way to lose weight and contour your figure. Here is how Coolsculpting® Northeast Minneapolis is performed and its benefits.
How is Coolsculpting® performed?
Coolsculpting® is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a doctor’s office or clinic. You will be given local anesthesia before the procedure and then lie on an exam table or recliner while your body is chilled with liquid nitrogen to create micro-channels in the skin. These channels help cool the targeted area, which helps freeze unwanted fat cells so they cannot grow back.
After your treatment session ends, you will be placed under mild sedation for about 30 minutes before waking up and heading home with minimal discomfort or bruising. You may experience some swelling for up to three days after Coolsculpting®, but most people feel fine within 24 hours of the procedure.
How does Coolsculpting® work?
Coolsculpting® uses radiofrequency energy to destroy fat cells selectively. This process helps to reduce excess fat in certain areas of the body. Radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the fatty tissue, destroying the cells containing stored triglycerides. This causes them to release their stored energy as heat, which is then dissipated by surrounding tissue or organs.
What are the benefits of Coolsculpting®?
The benefits of Coolsculpting® include:
- It is safe.
The CoolSculpting® technology is proven to be safe. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the treatment. The office staff will explain exactly what to expect before, during and after your treatment. You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your body after the procedure.
- It is effective.
CoolSculpting® results are almost immediate, with no downtime required for recovery. Most patients see results within one month of their procedure. After two months of weekly treatments, you can expect an up to 20% reduction in fat cells.
- It is affordable.
CoolSculpting® is covered by most insurance plans and Medicare Part B, making it affordable for everyone, from individuals to small businesses to large corporations, including those who do not have access to health insurance or financial assistance programs.
- It works
Coolsculpting® uses radiofrequency energy delivered through a special handpiece that goes on your body in several minor treatments for 1-2 weeks. As the radiofrequency energy heats up and destroys fat cells, they shrink and are absorbed into your body naturally. The process is completely painless.
CoolSculpting® requires no general anesthesia or downtime for recovery. Patients continue to live their lives, returning to work or exercising on the same day with no side effects. For patients who have struggled with diet and exercise alone for years, CoolSculpting® can be an effective solution. But you will need to consult an expert from Afzal Clinics to determine if this treatment is right for you.
