Fat Freezing Love Handles: Process & Effectiveness
Are you considering fat-freezing treatments on your side belly to get rid of the protruding love handles?
In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about coolsculpting treatments including how it works, whether it is effective, and how soon can you expect the results from this treatment. This will help you better decide if the treatment is suitable for you.
How does fat-freezing treatment work on love handles?
Fat freezing love handles is a simple procedure that targets fat deposits and removes them. As fatty tissues are more sensitive to cold temperatures compared to other cells, freezing temperatures would destroy the fat cells without harming other cells and the surrounding skin.
A membrane is laid on the area around the back with excess fat and the fat freeze machine uses an applicator to freeze the fats in the love handle. The intense cold temperature will kill fat cells. These frozen fat cells then get flushed out of your system in standard natural ways, leaving your waist with less fatty tissue.
Coolsculpting treatment can help you lose fat in areas, within a few weeks, in areas that are hard to target through exercise. It is often used as an effective weight loss treatment and help those who feel self-conscious about their body.
Fat-freezing machines have applicators of different sizes, allowing them to target larger areas with excess weight such as love handles.
How effective is fat freeze on the love handles?
Fat Freeze treatment is a safe and effective fat reduction treatment to get rid of stubborn fat around the back and waist. A single session of fat freeze treatment can result in a 20-25% fat reduction in the treated area. Studies have shown that the average reduction of fat on the love handles were 20.4% at 2 months and 25.5% at 6 months.
The satisfaction rate for this procedure is high with over 85% of patients being "very satisfied" with the results after 12 weeks post-final treatment for this body contouring treatment.
The treatment is effective in delivering results and reducing fats. However, it does take multiple sessions and some time for the results to appear.
The number of sessions is determined based on the size and amount of fats in a specific area. larger areas like love handle usually require a large applicator and three to four sessions to achieve desired results.
How soon can I expect to see results?
It takes approximately a month before results start to appear. This is due to the nature of how the cryolipolysis treatment works. After the fat cells are frozen and dead, your body's lymphatic system will slowly get rid of these dead fat cells naturally, leaving the area with less unwanted fat.
It will take some time to see results, but in just 3 - 4 short sessions your saggy love handles will look tighter and fit.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and healthy diet which ensures minimal weight gain, you can expect your results to last for a long time. If you would like to find out more on how to maximize fat freeze results, be sure to check out our article here:
