If you have heard about CoolSculpting near Dallas, you might hear about
how the doctor who developed it came up with the idea. In a study from
the 1970s, it was discovered that children who regularly ate Popsicles
developed dimples, because the fat cells in the cheeks were continuously
exposed to freezing cold temperatures. From this observation, CoolSculpting
technology was developed to treat areas of unwanted fat throughout the
body. If that’s the case, why can’t you just apply an ice
pack to areas of stubborn fat and
see results comparable to CoolSculpting? As we explore the answer to this question, it is important to remember
that CoolSculpting technology was merely inspired by a simple idea, but
the technology itself had to be rigorously tested and perfected to precisely
cool fat cells to see loss of inches without damaging skin, muscle, and
nerve tissues in the process.
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure.
FDA approval is a mark of safety and care quality for a given procedure, which is something
that you can expect with CoolSculpting. The risks of side effects from
CoolSculpting are very low in the appropriate care setting of a med spa
or plastic surgeon’s office, but at-home care with the application
of ice packs can damage the skin, cause permanent nerve damage, and fail
to deliver any noticeable results of fat loss.
Home care does not provide temperature control and monitoring.
Quite simply, putting a cold pack on the skin and allowing it to cool a
certain area will not have an impact on fat loss, because a more controlled
temperature is needed. Not only does CoolSculpting cool fat cells without
damaging the skin, but it does so with constant control and monitoring
to have the most impact on unwanted fat cells while leaving other healthy
tissues unharmed.
Only a doctor can determine your eligibility for fat-reducing treatments.
Aside from considering whether there is an at-home alternative to CoolSculpting,
it’s also important to think about whether fat-reducing treatment
is even right for you. Not everyone is eligible for this and other body
sculpting procedures, so it’s best to see a qualified physician
to discuss your needs.
