CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure used for contouring the body. This procedure requires a plastic surgeon to safely and expertly freeze the target fat cells in the body and destroy them. After some periods, these fat cells will be degraded and eliminated via the liver. CoolSculpting doesn’t destroy the organs and tissues around the fat. Therefore, it is a safe procedure that everyone can undergo. If you are thinking about undergoing CoolScupting, here are the 5 major areas of your body that the procedure can treat:
1. Abdomen
During fat gain, the abdomen is one of the areas where lots of fats will be stored. Unfortunately, a big belly can be quite unsightly for many individuals and can affect self-confidence. Although exercise and diet can aid fat loss, they are usually not effective for removing “subcutaneous” fats in the abdomen—the pinchable fat that sits just under the skin.
The good news is that CoolSculpting can come in handy to get rid of fats in your abdomen. The process will be quick, virtually painless, and effective. During the session, a specialized applicator is placed on the stomach, creating a vacuum-like sensation followed by a cooling effect. After some weeks of undergoing the procedure, you will notice substantial fat loss in your stomach as the body begins to flush out the dead cells. This area often requires the largest applicators, but the results can be the most dramatic, helping patients finally fit into those jeans that have been sitting in the back of the closet.
2. Upper Arms
CoolSculpting is one of the methods you can utilize to remove the fats around your upper arms, often referred to as “bat wings” or “bra rolls” in the armpit area. Notably, this procedure cannot treat all fats around this particular body part; it is specifically designed for the fluffy and lumpy fat stored under the upper arms.
If you find that your arms have lost their definition despite doing tricep extensions and push-ups, it may be due to genetic fat deposits that refuse to budge. Lots of people have used this nonsurgical method to get rid of excess fat in their upper arms, so you should be confident that it is effective. The treatment helps to streamline the silhouette of the arm, making sleeveless tops and dresses much more comfortable to wear. Because the skin in this area is relatively thin, the cooling technology works efficiently to reach the fat layer.
3. Underneath the Buttocks
The pouches of fat underneath the buttocks, often colloquially called “banana rolls,” can be effectively treated with CoolSculpting. These small, crescent-shaped fat deposits can make the transition from the glutes to the hamstrings look less defined.
The procedure will effectively smooth out the area to make it more slim and contoured, following the natural curve of your leg and under the buttocks. Many patients find that no matter how many squats they perform, the banana roll remains. CoolSculpting provides the precision needed to target these specific pockets without requiring a surgical lift. By reducing the volume in this area, the buttocks often appear more lifted and the legs appear longer, providing a more athletic and balanced aesthetic.
4. Thighs
Would you like to eliminate the fats in the outer and inner areas of your thighs? If yes, CoolSculpting can proffer the solution you need. Basically, the skin around the inner parts of the thighs is easy to treat because the fat is typically softer and easier for the applicator to suction. Reducing inner thigh fat can also help prevent the discomfort of “chafing” during the summer months or during exercise.
Although the skin on the outer thighs presents more difficulties for the surgeons because the fat there is often “non-pinchable” and more dense, specialized flat applicators have been developed to address this. They can still use CoolSculpting to get rid of the stubborn fats in your thighs, commonly known as “saddlebags.” By treating both the inner and outer portions, you can achieve a more symmetrical and contoured lower body.
5. Back Fat
Since the fat around the back can be pinched, it can be seamlessly eliminated with CoolSculpting. This procedure is usually recommended for eliminating bra fat—those annoying bulges that peek out from under straps—as well as mid-back fat and “love handles” that wrap around toward the spine.
Back fat is notoriously difficult to target through localized exercise. While you can build the muscle underneath, the fat layer often remains visible. Although you may have to wait for a few weeks before seeing the full results of the procedure, you can rest assured that it will produce the desired result. Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good, provided you maintain a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle.
