Will CoolSculpting Help You Lose Weight?

Posted by Nate Marks on August 28th, 2018

Everyone is looking for the magic bullet when it comes to weight loss. There are countless fad diets, and people everywhere are sure to boast about the next trick to drop unwanted pounds.

Amid all this, it can be hard to figure out what actually works. If you are considering CoolSculpting
for your weight loss goals, there are a few things you need to know.

First, it is important to know exactly what CoolSculpting is. CoolSculpting is an innovative
procedure that uses targeted cold technology to freeze away unwanted fat. During a treatment, a
special device is used to expose fat cells to frigid temperatures. At those temperatures, the cell is
destroyed and flushed out of the body naturally.

The results can be dramatic. After a successful procedure, patients can expect to see inches melt
off their waistlines over the coming months. Suddenly, you can fit in clothes that you have not
worn in years.

However, is it really weight loss? It is a question worth asking. To understand the answer, you next
need to grasp how a fat cell actually functions. When you lose weight through diet or exercise, you
are not actually shedding fat cells. Instead, you are shrinking them. If you eat less and exercise
more, those cells burn through their reserves more quickly, which makes them smaller and keeps
your waistline trim. The reverse is also true. If you eat more and work out less, your fat cells
merely bulk up in size. This leads to an expansion of your waistline.

As explained earlier, this is not the same way CoolSculpting works. With CoolSculpting, the fat cells
are actually destroyed. They do not shrink; they are just gone. It is not technically the same as
losing weight, but the results can have particular advantages.

To be clear, maintaining a balanced diet and an exercise program is an excellent way to stay
healthy. There are many reasons to keep yourself fit, and many of those reasons extend beyond
the cosmetic. However, losing weight will not allow you to target certain areas of the body. In fact,
many people are dismayed when they start a rigorous diet and exercise program. They quickly
discover that the fat being lost is in all the wrong places. For example, women may lose weight in
the breasts while their stomachs stay stubbornly untouched.

Herein lies the true benefits of CoolSculpting. With CoolSculpting, you can eliminate problematic fat
cells in specific parts of your body. You get to control where your weight loss occurs. This means
that your stomach, neck, thighs or arms can be targeted, showing effective results far faster.

In this manner, CoolSculpting can help you achieve your personal goals for your body. It is
important to remember, however, that it is not the same as losing weight. Weight loss has a
widespread impact on your body, which can be imperative for your health over time. CoolSculpting,
by contrast, allows you to sculpt your body into the image you crave.
