I've heard that the results from Coolsculpting only last 10 to 15 years. Extreme weight gain aside, are the results from Coolsculpting truly permanent (at least in terms of fat cell number)? What about if you get pregnant--do fat cells regrow/multiply in that area, negating your results? Also, are repeated treatments to the same area safe? Any long term health effects such as increased cancer risk or long term fat tissue damage? Thank you very much for your help!

Answer: Are Coolsculpting results permanent Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a great way to shape the body from unwanted pockets of fat. If done in an artistic fashion, it can help to dramatically shape the body. Regarding longevity.... Coolsculpting works by permanently destroying fat cells, and as an adult, our bodies do not normally generate new fat cells. However, any remaining fat cells can either store more energy (i.e. get larger) or release energy (i.e. get smaller). Thus fluctuations in weight can influence your results. The most important thing is to find a trusted provider who can determine if you are a candidate for Coolsculpting or if different options can provide better results. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in non-invasive, minimally invasive and surgical options for your concerns.

Answer: Coolsculpting results are Permanent! Coolsculpting is an amazing find in research to help people get to their next targeted goal! These results are proven and safe with no surgery. Do you have stubborn fat? Coolsculpting will help target these areas killing off the fat cells. Once a fat cell is crystallized (frozen at -11 degrees celsius) they are destroyed fat cells that can not and will not recover. These fat cells are gone for life. This doesn't mean that the remainder of fat cells can not expand or contract but now having fewer fat cells in a stubborn area will help you reach your goal. This is a very safe procedure and more safe than other alternatives because nothing else like vessels for example aren't interrupted or damaged. Only the unwanted fat cells are destroyed.
