When it comes to body sculpting, many Cleveland area patients are struggling with fat pockets on specific areas of the body. The most troublesome area for both men and women is the abdominal area. Excess fat can develop in the midsection and cause an extended belly and "muffin tops" or "love handles." This can be embarrassing for some patients and difficult to hide with clothing. When diet and exercise are unable to address the fat pockets present in the midsection, men and women may want to find out more about removal with a procedure known as CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary treatment that can be used in lieu of liposuction. The idea of liposuction is to remove unwanted pockets of fat in large areas. However, general anesthetics is required, patients need to go "under the knife" with a plastic surgeon, and bruising and pain occur for days afterwards due to the movement of the cannula to suction and remove the fat cells. While the results are achieved in one day, the cost and discomfort is enough to keep many patients from undergoing the procedure.

CoolSculpting works differently. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a technique that expertly freezes the fat cells without affecting the skin or muscles. Patients can rest in the treatment chair while the CoolSculpting device suctions in the skin, bringing the temperature of the fat cells down to a freezing level, which allows the body to flush them out naturally over the course of several months. The results of CoolSculpting are not achieved on the same day, but instead in a more natural manner over the course of several weeks and sometimes months. Most patients experience a circumferential reduction of over one inch with one treatment of CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting has changed the way patients look at their bodies and what can be achieved outside of conventional diet and exercise, but without needing to visit a plastic surgeon. The team of Seriously Skin is excited to share with patients the joys of CoolSculpting and explain how it can be used for the removal of unwanted fat pockets on the body.
