Frequently Asked Questions About Coolsculpting

CoolSculpting in Tampa is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that uses highly focused blasts of intense cold temperatures to target, freeze, and destroy fat cells in areas over the entire body. The freezing process causes the fat cells to slowly die over the course of two to four months. The dead fat cells are then naturally expelled from the body. This unique form of body-fat reduction is known as cryolipolysis.

Traditional methods of fat reduction like dieting and exercise tend to only shrink fat cells. While the results these methods provide are noticeable, they can be quickly reversed if the fat cells in the area begin to expand. CoolSculpting permanently destroys the targeted fat cells in the body. Because of this, these cells will not be able to expand and reverse the results that the procedure has provided. Maintaining a proper diet and an active lifestyle after treatment will also help to preserve the results that CoolSculpting has provided.

CoolSculpting is a body-contouring procedure. When used to enhance the natural contours of the body by freezing the fat away, CoolSculpting provides outstanding results. While it does achieve results by getting rid of unwanted excess fat, it is not designed to eliminate large amounts of excess fat. Instead, it is most effective when used to target stubborn areas of the body that don't respond to dieting and exercise. CoolSculpting is also not an effective option for addressing loose sagging skin.

Everyone reacts differently to specific stimuli. Some people may be more sensitive to colder temperatures, while others may handle them with ease. While it may be difficult to describe exactly what the procedure will feel like to you, the procedure has not been known to produce significant pain. You can expect to experience an intense chilling sensation around the targeted area, which may cause discomfort to some. This sensation will slowly dissipate as the tissue becomes numb. The applicators used for the procedure contain small vacuums that draw in the targeted tissue so that the cold can be directly applied to the area. This may cause some to feel a slight pinching or tugging sensation but should not cause any major discomfort.
