Cryolipolysis, commonly known as "Cryosculpting" or "CoolSculpting," is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps individuals reach their aesthetic goals by reducing stubborn pockets of fat in targeted areas of the body. It is an effective alternative to surgical liposuction for people seeking body contouring and fat reduction without the need for incisions or downtime. This is one of the services we offer at our Denver Sports Rehab facility and we would love to tell you a little bit more about it.

Fat Reduction

Cryosculpting specifically targets and freezes fat cells in selected areas. The procedure uses controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body's natural metabolic processes. Over time, the treated fat cells are flushed out of the body, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area.

Targeted Treatment

Cryosculpting allows for precise targeting of problem areas where diet and exercise may not have been effective in reducing fat. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, double chin, and back. This is true spot reducing.

Non-Invasive

Unlike surgical liposuction, Cryosculpting is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any incisions or anesthesia. This means there are no surgical risks, scars, or lengthy recovery periods associated with the treatment.

Minimal Downtime

After Cryosculpting, most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately, as there is little to no downtime required. Some patients may experience mild redness, bruising, or temporary numbness at the treatment site, but these effects generally subside quickly and do not affect daily activities.

Gradual Results

Cryosculpting results in gradual fat reduction over several weeks to months. As the body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells, patients typically notice a more sculpted and contoured appearance in the treated areas.

Natural-Looking Results

The gradual nature of fat reduction with Cryosculpting often leads to natural-looking results, avoiding the sudden and drastic changes sometimes associated with surgical procedures.

Long-Lasting Effects

Once fat cells are eliminated through Cryosculpting, they do not regenerate. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to prevent the remaining fat cells from enlarging.

Customizable Treatments

Cryosculpting treatments can be tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. Multiple sessions can be performed in different areas or repeated in the same area for more extensive fat reduction.

It's important to note that Cryosculpting is not a weight-loss solution or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It is most effective for individuals who are already close to their target weight but struggle with localized pockets of stubborn fat. Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, including Cryosculpting, it is essential to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional to determine if the treatment is suitable for your specific needs and expectations.
