CoolSculpting has become one of the most popular treatments for nonsurgical fat reduction in Southlake, TX—but with popularity comes misinformation. If you’re curious about this fat freezing technology, but aren’t sure what’s fact and what’s fiction, don’t worry! At Southlake Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, our experts have the answers you’re looking for.
Let’s set the record straight by busting 5 common CoolSculpting myths.
Myth #1: CoolSculpting Helps You Lose Weight
While you may look slimmer after treatment, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution. This treatment reduces fat in specific areas like the abdomen and thighs. The number on the scale may not change significantly, but the contours of your body will.
Myth #2: CoolSculpting Results Are Immediate
CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells, which your body then clears away gradually over several weeks. Most people see changes starting around 3 weeks post-treatment, with full results visible after about 2 to 3 months.
Myth #3: CoolSculpting Only Treats Stomach Fat
Not true! CoolSculpting treats many areas, including your flanks, upper arms, thighs, and back. It’s a versatile treatment for patients with troublesome spots that won’t respond to a healthy lifestyle.
Myth #4: Fat Comes Back After CoolSculpting
Once CoolSculpting destroys your fat cells, they’re gone for good. However, remaining fat cells can still grow in size if you gain weight. That’s why we encourage our patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve their results.
Myth #5: CoolSculpting Is Painful & Risky
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared, uses noninvasive techniques, and is generally well-tolerated. You may feel cold and pressure initially, but most patients describe the experience as quite manageable. There’s also little to no downtime, so you can get back to life right away.
