Weight Loss / Body Sculpting? ›

Body sculpting: The process of shaping and contouring the body through various techniques, such as fat reduction, muscle toning, and skin tightening. Body contouring: Procedures or treatments aimed at improving the shape and contours of the body, often involving fat reduction, skin tightening, or muscle toning.

Body sculpting treatment is not a major weight loss treatment. It's best for those within a few pounds of their goal weight who maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. Body sculpting is best used to get rid of stubborn fat that can't be reduced through exercise.

If you treat multiple areas of the body, you can freeze several pounds of body fat away. Many people can lose 10 or more pounds when using this fat reduction treatment on multiple areas of the body.

It is crucial to understand cryolipolysis is not a weight loss treatment. While you can lose a large percentage of fat cells in the treatment area, you shouldn't expect to lose too much weight.

For the most part, many body contouring treatments can help you reduce unwanted fat cells by 20% to 80% depending on the system used, the area of location, and your current amount of body fat.

Common side effects of body contouring include scarring, body asymmetry (one side of the body has more fat removed than the other), blood clots, and excess skin in the treated area.

CoolSculpting® is a great option if you are looking to get a flatter stomach. This is a treatment that can target specific pockets of fat on your body, like your belly fat. It is not a treatment that is used for overall weight loss. Instead, the CoolSculpting® body contouring device will be used on your abdominal fat.

For instance, if you want to remove stubborn fat from a small area, you may lose around half an inch on average. On the other hand, if you are trying to remove fat from a larger area, you may lose around two or three inches.

If your BMI is between 25 and 30, we suggest 2 to 3 treatments. We don't recommend CoolSculpting for persons whose BMI is greater than 30 because there will be too much fat in the target area to notice a difference after treatment. The procedure will not reduce your weight or treat obesity.

Does fat return after CoolSculpting treatment? The fat cells destroyed during CoolSculpting treatment die and cannot return or reactivate. However, remaining fat cells can still swell during subsequent weight gain. If you gain weight after getting CoolSculpting, your body can create new fat cells.
