Does Freezing Fat Make More Sense Than Using Radio Waves to Remove It?

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is an excellent option developed by Harvard scientists. The freezing of the fat is a unique, FDA-cleared, patented procedure that uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a... more

Velashape may temporarily reduce fat volume and you need maintenance treatments. It helps shape and contour. CoolSculpting by Zeltiq permanently kills some fat cells by one freezing treatment and the reduction in fat volume continues for several months. Approximately 20% is reduced, as seen during ultrasound imaging, at four months. Certainly, the remaining fat cells in the treated area, and the fat cells in non-treated areas can increase volume as they store more fat if more fat... more

Coolsculpting by Zeltig or "fat freezing" is a new technology to treat unwanted localized fat deposits. Developed by Harvard doctors, it is FDA approved for fat removal. The amount of fat removed varies, but the minimum amount is 20%. It is best utilized in patients that are at or near their ideal body weight. It works by freezing fat cells that are then eliminated from the body by cryolipolysis. It takes 8-12 weeks to see the results as the... more
