CoolSculpting – A Breakthrough In Fat Reduction
Coolsculpting is the latest in fat melting technology that does not require any type of surgical procedures. So what is Coolsculpting? This new non-surgical procedure uses a special machine that freezes fat cells that when frozen, they crystallize, shatter and die. The dead fat cells are then digested by white blood cells in your immune system. And unlike surgical procedures to remove unwanted fat, there is no risk of damaging the skin or the nerves which may happen if you go under the surgical knife.
Do you have fat deposits on your arms, legs, or tummy area? Coolsculpting might be the answer to getting rid of unsightly fat deposits. A single Freeze Fat Away session using Coolsculpting can shrink the problem area on average 20-25%. Contact Dr. Fiorillo for a private consultation and see if the Freeze Fat Away treatment using Coolsculpting might be right for you.
Coolsculpting uses what is called cryolipolysis which is the term used for freezing fat cells so that they crystallize, shatter, and are destroyed by which the white blood cells in your body digest them. Cryolipoysis works much like frostbite, freezing fat while leaving the overlaying skin layers intact and without damage. A small section of the skin is inserted into the freezing device where the fat cells are slowly frozen and the procedure usually takes an hour. So what can you expect during this procedure? The procedure is painless and you will notice that the treated area will be like having frozen ice and you will feel firmness where the fat has been frozen. This disappears after 30-45 minutes as the dead and frozen fat cells shatter and dissipate through the body. The number of treatments you need will vary and depend on how bad the problem areas are. Some patients may experience some bruising or discomfort after the procedure and include some slight swelling or redness which will disappear after 3-4 hours.
And although this is breakthrough technology, it still takes careful planning, and a skilled surgical cosmetologist to perform the necessary treatments you might need to remove the unwanted fat deposits. Many treatments may be required or even just one or two. It is important to know that no non-surgical procedure is a magic cure for fat deposits on the body. A regular diet and exercise plan is absolutely necessary to help aid in the process and make sure that the fat removed does not return. It should also be noted that this type of non-invasive surgery is not recommended for someone that may have larger fat deposits where another procedure might be more beneficial to the patient. Results from Coolsculpting can take from two to four months to appear. Contact Dr. Fiorillo and his expert trained staff to day and get a consultation and see if Coolsculpting could be right for you.
