Not sure what this treatment is? The following is a quick guide to everything you need to know about this revolutionary procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/coolsculpting\/\">Coolsculpting<\/a> is a non-invasive, fat eliminating technology that effectively removes small pockets of stubborn fat in different areas of the body. It is a perfect alternative to more invasive techniques such as liposuction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cryolipolysis is the patented method that Coolsculpting technology employs. During treatment, a device will bring two cooling panels to either side of the bulge of fat you are trying to remove. The device is used to freeze fat cells, effectively killing them. Once the fat cells have been treated, the body will naturally metabolize and dispose of them leaving a slimmer, more contoured figure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How should I prepare for treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before treatment, it is important to speak with a doctor to discuss your candidacy. Once approved, your doctor will want to discuss your goals and develop a customized treatment program. Some treatment programs require several appointments while some require only one. Typical treatments last between one to three hours.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>When will I see the results of Coolsculpting treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many patients start to see results in as little as three weeks. However, more dramatic results tend to develop after approximately two months. Depending on how extensive the treatment is, patients may continue to see changes four to six months after, as their body will still be working to flush out the damaged fat cells.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-449  aligncenter\" title=\"Before and After Coolsculpting\" src=\"\/files\/2014\/09\/beforeafter-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"Before and After Coolsculpting\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Am I a good candidate for Coolsculpting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The best candidates for this treatment are active, healthy adults seeking to get rid of small amounts of fat. Typically, patients are those who have made considerable effort to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle but cannot get rid of small, older pockets of fat. This is not approved as a weight loss option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are struggling to get your body into the shape you desire, but are afraid of undergoing an invasive cosmetic surgery procedure, consider Coolsculpting.
