With the weather getting warmer, many of us are beginning to think ahead to summer. The sun… the beach… oh no… the swimsuits!
Not feeling so confident heading into swimsuit season? Rejuvé may have the solution to your stubborn belly fat. We are proud to introduce the CoolSculpting treatment. Developed by scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital (a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School), CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for treating the abdomen and love handles — exactly the problem spots that make many people afraid to hit the beach.
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and crystallize fat cells. Cooling the fat cells causes the cells to die from apoptosis, after which the dead cells are simply processed by your body’s lymphatic system and removed as waste. Your remaining fat cells will condense, reducing the fat layer and creating a slimmer, firmer look in the targeted area. When you gain or lose weight, the volume of your fat cells changes — but the total number of fat cells stays the same. After CoolSculpting, treated areas have fewer fat cells.
During your treatment, the CoolSculpting machine is applied to the targeted area. Tissue is drawn into a vacuum cup, and controlled cooling is delivered right to the targeted fat cells. Most patients can return to their normal routines immediately after the CoolSculpting procedure. The procedure does not require any anesthesia. Patients most often describe their treatments as tolerable and all the patients are able to watch videos, listen to music, or work on the computer during their treatment. Best of all there is no surgery, no scars, and no compression garments to wear.
You may begin to see changes in as soon as three weeks, but you’ll see the most dramatic results within one to three months. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine after CoolSculpting will help you to fully achieve the maximum results. CoolSculpting won’t work if you are looking to lose a substantial amount of weight (more than 20 pounds), but if you’re looking to slim 1 to 20 pounds from your midsection, it may be the solution for you.
Your CoolSculpting treatment plan will be tailored just for your needs, and the specific areas of your body that you want to target. Depending on your goals, you may require multiple treatments or visits. A holistic “treatment to transformation” approach will be used to ensure the sculpted shape you want. Dr. Tang will talk with you about your medical history and your treatment goals to help determine whether CoolSculpting is right for you.
