Is Coolscuplting Effective?

Coolsculpting is a procedure that is designed to target small, stubborn pockets of fat left behind from diet and fitness efforts due to genetics or other factors. It is sometimes used in conjunction with other therapies or procedures to optimize results.

Does Coolsculpting Really Work

Coolsculpting therapy is based on solid science. Fat cells die at much higher temperatures than skin, muscle, nerve and bone cells. Therefore, applying lowered temperatures directly to fat cells destroys them. The body then reabsorbs the material. Coolsculpting has been proven a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgical procedures for removing small pockets of fat left behind by fitness and exercise efforts.
