The Science Behind CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a groundbreaking cosmetic treatment that works to target and treat areas of fat that have resisted diet and exercise. This revolutionary technology is supported by a process called Cryolipolysis and its purpose to eliminate stubborn fat without invasive procedures. It delivers long-term, effective results with little downtime and has few possible side effects.

Where Did It Come From?

The CoolSculpting process actually started at Harvard University. It all began when scientists there saw that some children got dimples after cold popsicles. This sparked an investigation into how freezing temperatures would affect fat cells. Through further study, it was determined that the continued and controlled application of cooling temperatures to visible fat bulges would cause selective fat reduction without damaging the outer layer of skin. This study led to the development of selective Cryolipolysis which later turned into CoolSculpting.

Tell Me More About The Science

Unlike plastic surgery, this is not an invasive procedure. It requires no needles or incisions. Adipose tissue is cooled low enough it causes lipolysis, the process of breaking down fat tissue. When this tissue is exposed to the cold long enough, it begins the process of apoptosis which is a natural and controlled death of your fat cells.

Those fat cells that we target are later consumed by other cells in your body in the weeks and months following the procedure. This results in a thinning of the fat layer. Those fat cells also contain lipids. Those are eventually released and carried away by your lymphatic system to be eliminated and processed by your body.

Are CoolSculpting Results Reliable?

There have been numerous studies, including the Harvard research, that support the effectiveness of CoolSculpting. This particular method for the treatment of visible fat does not lead to any long-term injury, does not affect the functions of the liver or lipids, and has displayed a high level of safety across the board.

According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, “conducted by Bernstein EF, CoolSculpting has led to lasting results in patients of all body types. The study followed up with patients six and nine years after treatment with no increase in those eliminated fat cells despite regular weight fluctuations.” The Cryolipolysis and CoolSculpting procedures are FDA approved as well.
