With CoolSculpting, if It is not weight loss, where does the frozen fat go?

Your body will slowly absorb them away over the following 2-4 weeks. Because their is no damage to the overlying skin, downtime is minimal – with most patients noting some degree of numbness in the area and some focal swelling of the treated zones.

Coolsculpting freezes fat cell and are gone for life! Once treated the body naturally processes the fat cells which are then excreted. Patients will not only loose inches in that area but can also have minor weight loss as well. However, this is not a weight loss procedure but the scale can change often but not always.

This is quite a common question, and a good one. CoolSculpting causes the breakdown of fat cells in a natural process called apoptosis. At this point, the body's waste system takes over, filtering the fat cells out through the kidneys so that they leave the body along with the urine. You are right in that CoolSculpting does not produce a significant weight loss. Although you will shed unwanted fat cells and can reshape and tone areas of the body, you won't likely see a significant change on the scale.
