Are you having trouble with stubborn pockets of fat regardless of a healthy diet and regular exercise? You’re not alone. More and more people are turning to CoolSculpting, a non-invasive, body contouring procedure for both men and women that eliminates fat from the stomach, thighs, back, and arms without traditional surgery or liposuction. Read our blog to find out if CoolSculpting is right for you.

What is CoolSculpting?

Coolsculpting uses a safe, controlled cooling method to target and eliminate unwanted fat. During the procedure, the cooling method causes lipids to crystallize. Then they are gently removed through the body’s normal metabolic processes. Common treatment areas include:

• Back
• Love handles, muffin tops, or flanks
• Outer thigh fat
• Hip fat or saddle bags
• Belly fat
• Upper arm fat
• Chin fat

CoolSculpting is not intended for weight loss or as a treatment for obesity. In fact, many patients who opt for this procedure are extremely fit and healthy. Moreover, we recommend consulting with a trained CoolSculpting provider to evaluate areas of concern and discuss desired outcomes.

Who is a Good Candidate?

There are several factors used to determine who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting. In general, if you are in good health and not pregnant, most likely you are a good candidate. However, the procedure is not for individuals with a BMI (body mass index) of 34 or more. For those who are within 5 to 20 lbs. of their ideal weight, evaluating the tightness of fat in areas of concern is a determining factor as well. If you can pinch and pull the fat away from your body, you may be a good candidate.

What You Can Expect at the Appointment?

A typical appointment lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to four hours, depending on the parts of the body being treated. The area will be cold but not too uncomfortable. Patients can watch television, read, or listen to music as the provider performs the procedure. Results usually are noticeable after a few weeks and are long-lasting. Most patients opt for two to three treatments to achieve their desired reduction goals. There’s no downtime and post-procedure care is simple. As a result, the majority of patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately.

Any Side Effects?

CoolSculpting is safe, effective, and relatively simple. Some side effects include redness, bruising, or swelling but usually subside quickly. Some patients experience tingling, stinging, aching, or cramping but this will subside over time.

CoolSculpting is the latest craze for body contouring and Belladerm is hosting a special event this month!  You no longer have to put up with that stubborn fat that no amount of workouts will get rid of! The buzz over this relatively new treatment has been increasing every month. Information is rapidly being shared and CoolSculpting rave reviews are splashed all over in various forms of media right now. Why are people so excited about it?
CoolSculpting provides stellar results without going under the knife. Instead, the fat cells are frozen and your body eliminates the destroyed cells over the course of several weeks. CoolSculpting works by pulling the skin between two panels, so you’ll likely feel a mild tingling or slight tugging of the skin, along with a cooling sensation. Any discomfort should be minimal. You can rest assured knowing that it is FDA-cleared and was developed by Harvard scientists using patented fat-freezing technology.
Are you a candidate? CoolSculpting is a good choice for individuals who are within 15 to 20 pounds of their ideal weight and who already exercise and follow a healthy diet.

With winter coming, our minds turn to a winter escape a few months down the road. Yes, somewhere warm and tropital! You envision strolling the beach with the sounds of the waves gently rolling in. You’re imagining pure bliss until your vision is ruined by the feelings of disgust when you picture your trouble spots and how you will be forced to hide your flabby belly and under a swimsuit cover-up the whole time.  If only there was something to help. A real solution without the hype.
Sometimes you just need a boost – something to complement the hard work you’ve done in the gym and calorie counting. You try but hard as you may, stubborn fat remains. Enter Coolsculpting. This revolutionary procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical. There is only mild discomfort during the treatment and ZERO downtime. Coolsculpting uses cryoliposis to freeze fat cells in your body to the point of elimination. Since fat freezes at higher temperatures than your skin and other tissue, your body is left unharmed needing zero down time to recover. The procedure is FDA-cleared, safe and effective. The results are lasting and undeniable. See what supermodel Molly Sims had to say on The Meredith Vieira Show. (Scroll down to the bottom of the main page to see the video clip)
