Adults have a set number of fat cells and in normal circumstances this number does not change. The fat cells just get bigger when we put on weight. So once a fat cell is killed, it is unlikely that a new one will emerge to take its place.
“The CoolSculpting treatment is a fat reduction treatment. The ideal candidate should not have a BMI of more than 28. The treatment is not suitable for those suffering from diabetes, hepatitis or cancer. Pregnant women, new mothers and those with active pacemakers - a small device that’s placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms - are also not eligible for the treatment.
A single treatment session lasts for an hour and there is no down time for the patient. You can get back to business right after your session - running errands or even working out. However, for a repeated treatment on the same area, you must wait for 45 days. Treatments on different areas can be done on the same day or even simultaneously,” explains Marca.
Regarding the outcome of this procedure, Marca claims, “In every session, you tend to lose 20 per cent of the fat stored in the area being treated. The number of treatments you require depends on how much fat your body needs to lose. Hence, the treatment is personalised for each patient with guidance from a certified CoolSculpting specialist.”
This effective and painless process is perfect for those who are looking for a non-invasive way of fat reduction. It is important to note that this is not a weight loss treatment, however, it should be applied as post weight loss treatment to target and sculpt problem areas.
About regaining the fat Marca states, “If you start consuming junk food and fizzy drinks again after this treatment, of course your whole body will start storing fat again including those areas that had been treated.”
It is important to note that once you have opted for this treatment, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid fatty foods. Or else all the fat will be restored in your body. “With CoolSculpting many patients have been motivated to stay fit and health after seeing the results,” concludes Marca.
