Body contouring is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat from your body to give you a slimmer look. One of the common technologies that specialists use in body contouring is CoolSculpting technology. Arlington body contouring can improve your confidence by eliminating stubborn fat, revealing a fitter and toned body.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a body contouring technology that uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells in specific areas. Also referred to as cryolipolysis, the non-surgical procedure destroys fatty cells, and then your body flushes them to reveal a thinner and toned body.

What body parts does CoolSculpting contour?

• Under the chin (submental area)
• Bra line
• Back
• Upper arms
• Abdomen
• Flanks
• Buttocks
• Inner thighs

What does the process involve?

Once you are in the treatment room, your specialist will use a gel pad and applicator on the treatment area. When the site to be treated goes numb, your healthcare provider will move a hand-held device over your skin, administering the cooling technology. You might feel minimal discomfort but no pain.

You might feel a pulling and pinching sensation during the procedure as the device works on your skin. Once your provider finishes the treatment, they conduct a deep tissue massage to break up frozen tissues. The massage can help your body absorb the destroyed cells and secrete them to reveal a better-looking physique.

After the treatment, you might experience some swelling, bruising, tenderness, and stinging in the treatment areas. Although the side effects can be uncomfortable, they are nothing to worry about as they will fade within a day or a few hours after treatment.

Should you get time off for recovery?

Since it is a non-surgical procedure, you don’t need to ask for time off work or school. The recovery is minimal, and you can rest on the day of the appointment and resume your daily activities the next day.

Recovery

Although the treatment requires minimal recovery, you should follow certain instructions to ensure the success of the process. Loose clothing or compression garments can help with slight bruising and swelling. Your specialist might recommend you keep off intense exercise for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

Try and avoid direct heat coming into contact with the treated areas. Since the procedure involves a cooling technique, you must stay cool and prevent sweating. The heat might make you uncomfortable.

How many treatments do you need?

While most people benefit from about two treatments, your body goals and areas to be treated will dictate how many sessions you might need. For example, you might require a few treatments if you only have your abdomen and buttocks treated than someone who wants treatment for most of their body parts.
