Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat: How CoolSculpting® Targets Problem Areas

Struggling with areas of stubborn fat that don't respond to diet and exercise can be incredibly frustrating. At RenewMD Medical Spa in Reno, our team of certified aesthetic specialists offer CoolSculpting to help target those problem areas without surgery.

CoolSculpting is an innovative fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells, allowing individuals to achieve a more contoured figure. Whether it's your chin, abdomen, or thighs, this noninvasive fat reduction treatment can help you say goodbye to those stubborn pockets of fat.

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure that works by delivering precisely controlled cooling to specific areas of the body. The process "freezes" fat cells, in a process known as cryolipolysis, which are then naturally removed by the body over time. Since the fat cells are destroyed, they don't regenerate, leading to long-lasting results. Unlike liposuction and some other fat reduction options, CoolSculpting does not require anesthesia, incisions, scarring, or an extensive recovery period.

Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting?

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are men and women who are close to their goal weight but still have areas of stubborn fat that haven't responded to traditional methods like diet and exercise. It's important to keep in mind that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, it's designed to sculpt and contour areas of fat that are difficult to reduce through other means. Generally speaking, ideal CoolSculpting candidates should be:

  • Within 30 pounds of their goal weight
  • Healthy and active
  • Struggling with pockets of fat that won't go away despite diet and exercise
  • Looking for a nonsurgical solution to fat reduction

 

What are the treatment areas for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting can be used to address a variety of areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate, making it a highly versatile treatment option for patients who have multiple areas of concern. Some of the most common treatment areas of CoolSculpting nonsurgical body contouring include:

  • Chin
  • Abdomen
  • Hips
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Arms

By treating multiple areas with CoolSculpting, patients can achieve a more balanced, comprehensive transformation.

What are the benefits of CoolSculpting vs. liposuction?

CoolSculpting provides an excellent option for patients looking to contour their bodies without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. In addition to being a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting offers several advantages for patients compared to liposuction, including:

  • No downtime
  • No anesthesia required
  • Noninvasive
  • Long-lasting results
  • Targets multiple areas

If you have been considering liposuction or another fat reduction procedure but aren't interested in surgery or taking time off of work to recover, CoolSculpting may be the perfect solution for you.
