When fat freezing destroys and kills the fat cells, these fat cells are eliminated from the body and will generally not return.
Non-invasive procedures like fat freezing are often times more effective than exercising or dieting because it removes the fat cells from the body. Exercising and dieting causes weight loss by shrinking in the size of fat cells, but not by reducing the number of fat cells. By reducing the number of fat cells in the body, you are targeting weight loss from a different angle. That being said, even though the fat cells generally do not return, you will have to take necessary actions to maintain the results, we will provide a guide on how to do this.
In this blog post, we will take a look at how fat freeze works, the effectiveness of the treatment and give a guide on how to maintain fat freezing results.
The science behind coolsculpting procedure is quite simple. Fatty tissues are more sensitive to cold temperatures than other types of cells in your body. Fat freezing uses intense cold temperatures of -8 degrees to freeze and kill stubborn fat cells, while keeping the surrounding cells and skin surface unharmed. The dead fat cells then get flushed out of your system in standard natural ways, which helps you lose weight in the treatment area.
Fat Freeze is a safe and effective treatment to get rid of stubborn fat. The average fat reduction for first session is 23%, observable after a few weeks. The satisfaction rate for this procedure is high. More than 85% of patients are "very satisfied" with the results after 12 weeks post-final treatment.
Although fat freezing treatments are effective, it does take time for results to appear. This is due to the nature of how coolsculpting treatments work. It uses intense cold temperatures to destroy fat cells. The body takes a few weeks to naturally get rid of these dead fat cells. Hence, you will only see results after a few weeks.
The good news is that the dead fats do not return in most cases, as your body does not create new fatty tissue to replace those eliminated during the treatment.
Although fat cells generally do not return, there is always a chance that you may gain weight by increasing the size of your current fat cells. The main contributor for excessive weight gain a sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet. Therefore, the most important thing when it comes to maintenance of results is to lead a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and keeping a healthy diet.
