Americans have a problem with fat. Not only are Americans in a constant war against fat-containing products, but according to a US News report, spend about $66 billion a year on fat reduction and weight loss. When you do the math, that averages to about $800 a year per person.
Coolsculpting™ is a noninvasive body contouring and fat reduction treatment. Through a technique called cryolipolysis, Coolsculpting™ freezes the fat away. It cools fat cells to a specific temperature to cause cell death and then removes the dead cells via the body’s natural disposal systems.
Coolsculpting™ is one of the few reliable ways to get rid of fat cells without surgery. Keep reading to learn more about Coolsculpting™, including the answer to the question, “Is Coolsculpting™ worth the money?”
For the average person, the number of fat cells present in the body is set during adolescence and stays consistent during adulthood.
You may be wondering – if fat cells stay consistent, what causes weight gain?
Well, your fat cells can accumulate lipids, and their size grows or shrinks based on the number of lipids present. When fat cells grow, you gain weight, and your body shows the fat. During extreme weight gain, your body may grow new fat cells.
So, how do you get rid of fat cells? You can’t remove fat cells from the body with typical weight loss techniques. Exercise and diet merely work to reduce the size of the fat cells. In the process, you may lose weight, but the fat cells remain.
The only ways to get rid of fat cells permanently are to:
Coolsculpting™ works by applying cool air to areas with prominent fat deposits. It cools the fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissue. In the days and weeks following your appointment, your body’s natural disposal systems will dispose of the fat cells.
Several studies have shown Coolsculpting™ is a safe body sculpting procedure with few side effects. And the cool air numbs your skin, so you don’t feel much as the device works. Most people feel a mild ache as the applicator touches the skin that fades within a few minutes.
On average, people lose about 25% of fat cells treated with Coolsculpting™. Studies show that a 2-minute massage directly following application can increase fat loss by up to 68%.
The amount of fat reduction will depend on where you are treated. Common treatment areas include the jaw, neck, back of the arms, inner and outer thighs, below the buttocks, love handles, bra bulge, and abdomen.
While many people equate fat loss with weight loss, the reality is a little more complicated. Weight loss changes all components of your body composition, but fat loss is a reduction in body fat. For that reason, Coolsculpting™ is not considered a weight loss treatment.
Coolsculpting™ costs vary based on treatment location, the size of your treatment area, and how many treatments you need. On average, one Coolsculpting™ procedure can range from $1,000 to $4,000 per session.
Stadia Med Spa offers a free consultation before you schedule a Coolsculpting™ treatment. Your experienced provider will examine the treatment area to assess how many treatments you might need. The consultation will also allow them to provide a more accurate estimate of what your Coolsculpt treatment will cost.
Most patients need between one and three Coolsculpting™ treatments to see results. However, if you only have a few small deposits of fat in a small area, one treatment may be sufficient.
Larger treatment areas – like the legs, abdomen, love handles, and buttocks – may need several treatments to achieve your body sculpting goals. Don’t be surprised if your provider recommends applications around the treatment area. Their goal is to create a better overall contour and that requires balance!
To fully answer “Is Coolscupting worth the money” – let’s look at a couple comparisons.
Say you decide to go the traditional road to fat loss. You change your diet, start to exercise, lower stress levels, and upgrade your sleep routine.
But the traditional route doesn’t always guarantee results. You may spend weeks, months, or years trying different methods to change your body, but without anything to show for it.
Coolsculpting™ doesn’t take the place of a healthy lifestyle, but it will help you see results quickly. Most people see a dramatic difference in their body contour within one to three months.
The amount you spend on lifestyle changes will vary. A gym membership costs an average of $500 a year, but that’s only one expense.
It would be next to impossible to calculate the cost of healthy food, meditation classes, supplements, physical trainers, and many other expenses on the road to fat loss.
Coolsculpting™ should be used to support your lifestyle changes. It will help you see the results quickly and encourage you to continue making healthy choices for your body.
Another option for fast, visible fat loss is liposuction. Liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure where tubes are inserted into fat deposits, and the fat is sucked out of the body. Recovery from liposuction may take weeks or months, and the side effects and risks are much more severe than Coolsculpting™.
On average, liposuction costs about $4000 – about the same as the highest estimate for a single Coolsculpting™ treatment. But with Coolsculpting™, you don’t have to deal with a long recovery or loose skin for weeks after your treatment.
