While there are lots of at-home devices and programs you can use for losing weight and getting your body into the shape you want, there are also lots of salon type treatments that we sometimes tend to ignore. Taking a look at one of these means taking at look at CoolSculpting.
Overview
CoolSculpting is when a special device is used to freeze and destroy your unwanted body fat.It is a non-invasive non-surgical procedure.
The Claim
CoolSculpting claims to be the only FDA cleared system that uses a cooling system to get rid of fat that is not responding to diet and exercise.
The Hype
The hype really focuses around taking a different approach. Rather than using heat which alot of fitness buffs promote to break down fat they are going in the opposite direction with cold.They are saying that with the cold created by the unit it targets the fat, but doesn’t affect the skin tissue.
The Cost
While it is all going to depend on what area of your body is being treated with CoolSculpting some prices are putting it in the range of $2,225.
The Commitment
First you are going to have to find a clinic in your areas that provides the CoolSculpting service. Then you are going to have to go for a consultation and have the right mindset. This means that you need to know that CoolSculpting is not for losing weight in general. The procedure has been developed to target specific fat cell accumulation that won’t respond to other methods. The treatment is not meant for anyone with a BMI of over 30%. Also CoolSculpting is not meant for tightening the skin.
Evaluation
There is no doubt that CoolSculpting is using new technology. The system was developed by two Harvard Scientists. It is receiving a lot of positive feedback. There has also been a lot of money poured into marketing efforts focusing on a lot of before and after photos.
Final CoolSculpting Review
We are going to give the CoolSculpting a Try/Buy rating based on certain conditions. First you really should try all of the other measures that are available to you for reducing that hard to get rid of body fat. You also want to make sure that you fit the criteria that comes with CoolSculpting. It is a fairly big financial investment that you are going to be making so make sure you have really researched this treatment first before going for it. Then also make sure that you are able to find someone reputable in your areas that have been accredited to offer this procedure. You also may have some bruising and cramping following the procedure so you need to be prepared for this.
Our Recommendation
You also have to realize that CoolSculpting is not an overnight results procedure. It takes a few months for your body to rid itself of the dead fat cells after the CoolSculpting device has done its job. We know how important it is for everyone to want to look their best. In the past we have talked about less aggressive and less expensive measures to at least camouflage those unwanted fatty areas. One of these was Ardyss Body Magic. Check it out. We are all about bringing you options so you at least have some choices when spending your money.
Does NOT work, the only thing that got lighter after the procedure was my checkbook. It left me so very sore and black and blue for over a month…I would never recommend this to anyone…diet, it’s easier than this torture.
