Everything you need to know about CoolSculpting, does it really work?

Everything you need to know about CoolSculpting, does it really work? if you live in the US and specially in California where there is a tendency to have a “perfect body” you have already seen many ads that claimed to freeze your fat away.
These ads are referring to Coolsculpting, but what is it and does it really work? I tried it for you, because you know how much I love you 🙂
A group of scientists discovered that fat may be reduced simply by cooling it, because fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. The CoolSculpting device precisely targets these fat cells and delivers a controlled cooling effect that crystallizes them. The fat cells die, and over time your body eliminates them.

They clean the area to be treated and apply some type of silicon sheet to protect the skin from the freezing process, they only want to target the fat. And all of this happens in less than 70 minutes, 35 minutes on each side. Amazing, right? I wanted my lower belly to be treated so that was the are that they focused on.

With each CoolSculpting session comes a 20% reduction in fat cells. But you have to keep in mind that results and patient experiences may vary.
After each 35 minutes comes a massage for a couple of minutes and off to your home you go.
Does it hurt?
Not while they are doing the treatment, I did feel some pressure in one side, but to be honest, nothing that is super uncomfortable or anything.
But, I did feel pain, redness, and numbness for a couple of days after.

The Results:
My least favorite part of the treatment was that my stomach was inflated /swelling for more than I was hoping or expecting. That discomfort lasted for two weeks. There was a moment when I was doubting myself for getting into this.
I couldn’t fit into some of my clothes and I thought I was going to end up worse, lol.

You may see results as soon as three weeks after your initial CoolSculpting treatment. The most dramatic results will appear after two months (I am not there yet). And your body will continue to flush fat cells for four to six months after treatment.

I can’t belive I am showing my fat on my blog, but here it is. Four weeks after Coolscuplting

CoolSculpting works for both men and women. It’s specially designed for stubborn regions. A gentler, nonsurgical alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting works on just about any desired area.

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution. Please keep this in mind, it only targets the fat where the machine is used.
