Whether your weight loss journey covered five or 50 pounds, a few months or a few years, you may find that once you reach your goal weight, your figure isn’t exactly what you want it to be. For some reason, you still have bulges of fat that you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you dial up your exercise or dial down your food intake.
Resistant fat gets its name because it truly won’t budge no matter how much you change what you eat or the types of activities you do. Each woman and man may have different areas that accumulate resistant fat because of their genetics and how their fat cells are distributed.
At Her Secret MedSpa, a luxurious medically supervised aesthetic facility in Mamaroneck, New York, our medical director, Eyad M. Hijazin, MD, understands how frustrating it can be to work so hard on your figure but not be able to reach your ultimate physique.
That’s why he and his team at Her Secret MedSpa offer FDA-cleared, nonsurgical CoolSculpting to put the final touches on your figure and get rid of exercise-resistant fat without downtime or scars.
Each CoolSculpting treatment eliminates up to 20-25% of fat at a time. By selecting from a variety of treatment handles that contour perfectly to the area you want to treat, the Her Secret MedSpa aestheticians use CoolSculpting to eliminate one fatty bulge or several, including:
CoolSculpting freezes away inches of extra, unwanted fat. However, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss therapy and won’t significantly change your weight.
CoolSculpting works by lowering the temperature of treated fat, leaving the fat cells unable to function anymore, so they essentially shut down and crystallize. Because fat “freezes” at a higher temperature than water, your skin, organs, muscles, and other tissues aren’t affected by the CoolSculpting process.
Over the next few months, your body breaks down the crystallized, dead fat cells. The fat-cell debris is eventually processed through your lymph system and then excreted naturally. Your body doesn’t regenerate the eliminated fat cells.
You won’t need to take weeks off of work or stay home from the gym after your CoolSculpting treatment. While you may be a little swollen and uncomfortable for a couple of days, and your skin might be slightly pinker than normal, most women and men feel ready to tackle their normal activities right after their treatment.
However, pay attention to your body, and if you need to take it easy for a day or two, feel free to do so.
Depending on how much fat you want to lose, your Her Secret MedSpa specialist may recommend 1-3 CoolSculpting treatments. While you may see a difference in your measurements within the first month, your final results become apparent in 2-6 months. CoolSculpting’s fat-elimination process lets your results appear gradually and naturally.
If you know someone who’s had liposuction or has undergone other permanent fat-removal techniques, you may notice that their skin looks a little loose after the fat is gone. One of the advantages of CoolSculpting is that its patented cryolipolysis method of “freezing” away fat also triggers your skin to tighten up as the fat volume decreases.
The FDA even cleared CoolSculpting as a treatment to tighten loosened submental (under the chin) skin during double-chin removal.
Not everyone is a candidate for CoolSculpting. You need to be at a stable, healthy weight to benefit from cryolipolysis. Even though you’ll have fewer fat cells than normal after your treatment, the remaining fat cells will expand if you don’t maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
