Society puts a lot of pressure on people when it comes to their weight. Individuals who are overweight are treated as if they are lazy, slovenly and as if they have no self-control. And while these negative stereotypes about individuals who are struggling with their weight are anything but true, unfortunately, they have been ingrained in the minds of the majority of society.
Negative stereotypes about individuals who are overweight are constantly reinforced by television, movies and advertisements. These mediums show individuals who are happy and enjoy life only because they are thin or in good shape. Conversely, they portray individuals who are overweight as being sad, unable to find love and frustrated.
These societal pressures when coupled with the real medical challenges that being overweight can cause have encouraged many people to look to alternative ways to lose weight. Many of these procedures are designed to work in conjunction with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting® is one procedure that is gaining popularity among individuals who have been able to lose a considerable amount of weight from diet and exercise and now have stubborn fat collections on their body that they cannot get rid of.
What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a procedure that has been reviewed and cleared by the FDA as a safe and effective way to remove body fat by freezing it. One of the benefits of CoolSculpting® is that people are able to lose weight without surgery. The procedure can be performed on just about any part of your body. Prior to the procedure, we will examine the areas that you want to have worked on. The procedure is so non-invasive that while our physician is removing your body fat, you could sleep, watch a movie on your phone or tablet or even read a book.
The CoolSculpting® procedure can be used to remove fat from multiple parts of the body at the same time. The more sessions you have, the better your results will be. The procedure was developed by a teaching affiliate at Harvard Medical School. The procedure works because fat cells that are treated freeze and then eventually go away. Over time, the body will naturally process these affected fat cells and eliminate them. The result is that you are more sculpted, thinner and happier with the way you look.
Prior to the CoolSculpting® procedure, many individuals are afraid to look at themselves in the mirror. They’re just not happy with what they see. It should be understood that CoolSculpting® is not a procedure that is designed to help a person who needs to lose large amounts of weight. It is designed to supplement the diet and exercise needs of someone who has already taken the steps to lose weight and is now left with a few stubborn pockets of fat that will not go away on their own.
