Cool sculpting is a non-surgical method that reduces the number of fat cells in the body. This procedure requires no anesthesia or recovery. The number of fat cells continuously increase while we grow up.Even if you lose weight by diet, fat cells that are already present can get smaller in volume but the number of fat cells never decrease. There are other ways of reducing fat cells likeliposuction can reduce the number of the fat cells but it is and invasive procedure and a lot of people do not want to undergo surgery.Cool sculpting has great advantage of reducing the number of fat cells in very simple way by non-surgical method. Cool sculpting effectively destroys fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer using refrigerants,decomposed fat cells are then released from the body through the circulatory system. The results are visible 6 weeks after the procedure and will continuously discharge fat cell from the body until the fourth month.
Cool sculpting vs Weight loss
There is a big difference between reducing fat cells and losing weight.Losing weight reduces the size of fat cells in the body but does not change the number of cells. After weight lossthe body has a tendency to return to its original state, so that means that weight loss through dieting means it isalso easy to gain weight again.In contrast, cool sculpting decreases the number of fat cell sin the body, so the effect much more long lasting.
