Dieting and exercising can help with weight loss, but for some, getting rid of the body fat is far more complicated. When you lose weight, the fat does not necessarily go away. Fortunately, there is a way to get rid of the fat and see real results from your efforts. If you are having trouble getting rid of body fat, here is what you need to know:

What Is CoolSculpting?

When you experience weight loss, the fat cells in your body do not go away. The cells tend to shrink in size, but they remain. If you gain weight, the cells will start to grow bigger. No matter how much work you put in, those cells will remain.

CoolSculpting helps to change that. The procedure does not cause the fat cells to shrink. Instead, it leads to the fat cells being eliminated. This helps to prevent a migration of the cells to other areas of the body, such as the thighs and stomach.

How Does It Work?

During CoolSculpting, fat cells are frozen. Eventually, those cells start to die off. As they are dying, the cells will start to deteriorate and break into smaller parts. The deteriorated parts are then eliminated by your body after being naturally processed.

An applicator is used to cool the targeted areas of your body. For your safety, a gel pad will be placed over the area before the cool is applied. It is a painless procedure that does not require any surgery. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment is completed.

Are You a Candidate for the Procedure?

Almost everyone is a candidate for CoolSculpting. It is important to note that the areas targeted during the procedure will be different from others. Fat tends to build up differently in each person. A determination of the areas to target will be made after a consultation with a technician.

Although most people will qualify for the procedure, you must be within a certain range of your goal weight to get the most benefit from it. If you are not, it is likely that you will need to continue with your healthy eating and exercising to get within the range for maximum benefit.
