Coolsculpting is a non-surgical treatment that helps reduce unwanted fat. It involves using an applicator to deliver cooling to the target area. The fat cells crystallize when they are exposed to cold, and then the frozen fat cells will eventually die and be naturally eliminated from the body. Coolsculpting treatment is designed to treat love handles as well as fat in the abdomen and thighs.
Coolsculpting is an FDA-approved procedure, and is considered both safe and effective. During treatment, only the fat cells are targeted, so the surrounding tissue is not damaged or affected.
If you have stubborn body fat that even exercise and diet haven’t been able to rid you of, Coolsculpting could be right for you. Our staff at Pender Medi Spa can help determine if Coolsculpting can help you get the results you want, and we can customize a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
