Cool sculpting involves low temperatures to freeze fat cells in certain body areas. If you are unhappy with stubborn fat, such as the thighs, hips, stomach, upper back, chin, and thighs, you can still be your ideal weight. Pasadena Cool Sculpting can help you tone your body and achieve your ideal shape. Cool sculpting cannot be used to replace weight loss. Here are some details about cool sculpting.
Who’s a good candidate to cool sculpt?
This procedure is recommended for those who want to lose extra fat in certain areas. Your doctor may recommend this procedure only after you have tried other methods, such as diet and exercise. While cool sculpting can be done without any surgery and is considered safe, some specialists recommend it not. If you are pregnant, you may not be able to undergo the cool sculpting procedure.
- Skin laxity
- Poor skin tone
- Cold urticarial is a treatment that causes your skin to develop hives when it becomes cold.
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
What can you expect during treatment
This procedure is non-invasive, and does not require the use of needles. There is no risk that you will react to any sedation. Your specialist will use two paddles to target a specific part of your body using a special device. The doctor may leave the pad in place for up to 30 minutes.
The cold does not affect other cells, but it destroys fat cells. While some people may notice the changes within a few days, others may not see them for several months. The size of the area that your doctor is targeting will determine the length of treatment.
What side effects could there be?
Most side effects from cryolipolysis are not severe and most of them are mild. You may feel a tugging sensation when your specialist presses the plate against your body. You may also feel numbing or intense cold during the procedure.
It is possible to experience mild to moderate pain following treatment, although it is rare. Some people experience nerve pain or a change in skin texture. Paradoxical fat hyperplasia is a rare side effect. This occurs when fat cells in the treated area begin to multiply rather than decrease. This is more common in men.
How effective cool sculpting is?
The procedure can reduce between 10% and 25% of the fat cells in the target area on average. Side effects such as slight discoloration, itching, swelling and reddening usually disappear within a few days. The process of cool sculpting is relatively safe, except for those with cold-induced conditions. It may take several sessions to see the most dramatic changes and achieve the best results.
