Freeze Fat-Its Called Cool Sculpting
It seems there is always a new way to lose fat that comes into being. Today, one of the newest alternatives is to freeze fat. This method is called Cool Sculpting and it has FDA approval as being a safer alternative to liposuction.
The idea for this freeze fat process is simple, the doctor has a special piece of equipment that will target ultra cool temperatures to freeze the fat in certain areas of your body, essentially killing those fat cells off permanently.
Then, over time, the fat cells are naturally flushed from the body. For that reason, it may take several weeks upwards of two months to really see the complete results.
There are no needles or anesthesia of any type, that is why this method has become so popular and is considered to be so safe. Since there are no incisions being made there is no danger of an infection.
And, without having anesthesia, there is no risk of any side effects. As a matter of fact, other than a light pulling motion of the skin during the procedure there are no known side effects or pain associated with getting this done.
You can return to your normal activities right away so you don’t have to worry about missing work. And, since you can return to your work right away, you don’t have to worry about others finding out you even had it done.
You can go in on a Monday and be back at work on Tuesday! The whole procedure usually takes just an hour or two.
You may be able to see some results virtually instantly, but until all the dead cells have been flushed from your body, which may take upwards of a few months, you may not see the full result for a while.
At that time you can determine whether or not you want another treatment. You will have to wait a minimum of 30 days between treatments anyway.
This new process offers another effective alternative to the battle of the bulge, but there are some negatives you will want to consider too:
1. For one thing, this isn’t an all over body type of procedure. It is used on the stomach, hips, thighs, flanks and back.
That’s not necessarily a "con" since this is 99% of the trouble spots most people have anyway, but it is something to be aware of.
2. It isn’t about losing weight as much as it is about a "finishing touch". It’s about getting rid of fat deposits that just can’t be budged no matter how many crunches you do.
This process is the final step that you take after you’ve lost all the weight with a healthy diet and exercise program. Only then do you use this method.
3. Using this method is pricey so it may not be available to everyone. Depending on your doctor and where you live in the country you can expect to spend upwards of $700 per area for one treatment.
Even though there are some drawbacks, this is a viable method to help get that sculpted look you want. It is the final touch after you’ve lost your weight and can help you melt away those stubborn pockets of fat once and for all.
Talk to your doctor to see if this freeze fat process is right for you or not.
