This Cool Sculpting review will bring you up to speed on what it can do and if it really works. Science-based company Zeltiq has developed a new medical device designed to help you lose fat in specific problem areas. This non-invasive procedure, called Cool Sculpting, was created based on work started by Dr. Rox Anderson at Wellman Labs located at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
The basic concept is to apply extreme COLD temperatures to the fat area of the body to safely remove fat from the body.
How does it work?
The Cool Sculpting process is done in a doctor’s office, but does not require needles or anesthetics. The procedure begins by using a suction applicator where parts of the skin are sucked into the applicator. At this point, the cooling process begins by bringing your skin into contact with temperatures high enough to transform the fat from a liquid to a solid. Once in the solid formed, the fat cells will slowly begin to be destroyed and processed safely through the body.
It hurt?
During the entire procedure, there is practically no pain, some claim to feel a “tug” or “tug” effect on the skin, but it disappears in about 10 minutes.
This should not be considered a weight loss procedure and is only done for those patients who are slightly overweight. In this Cool Sculpting review I will emphasize that yes, it is FDA approved, but beware of copycat procedures and be absolutely sure to use a real DOCTOR with experience performing the Cool Sculpting procedure. Currently, only certain parts of the body can undergo this treatment, including:
- tummy
- love handles
- back
- inner thighs
Zeltiq is currently working to improve the device so that it can treat other areas of the body, so again, you want to talk to your doctor about any area of your body that you want help with.
Other Cool Sculpting reviews have also noted that certain patients have had success with Cool Sculpting, averaging twenty to forty percent fat loss. While you will start to see results in about four to six weeks, it can take up to three months to see full results. Many people are happy with the success of their first procedure, but you can have up to three procedures on each area of your body. To add safety to treatment, a waiting period of one to two months is required between procedures.
However, Cool Sculpting methods are VERY expensive and do not actually cure the problem of obesity. Finding a complete exercise and nutrition plan that will give you long-term results is the healthiest approach to losing weight.
