Is Fat Freezing Right for You?
Eliminating excess fat can be a hassle. It takes time, money, and motivation to stick to a routine. Some of us don’t have the luxury of going to a gym every day to lose those pounds we want to get rid of, and surgery, such as liposuction, can be intrusive and unsafe depending on our health.
Fortunately, we live in a revolutionary time where technology and science are beneficial in all categories. If you lack the time, money, or motivation for working out, or if you want to see results quicker without surgery, look no further than fat freezing.
So, What is Fat Freezing?
Fat freezing, also known as cryogenic lipolysis, is a non surgical alternative to liposuction. Rather than going into a complicated surgery to reduce the unwanted fat, fat cells are frozen in the desired area of your body.
Once fat cells cool, they cannot function, therefore the body sees them as waste and effectively removes them through the proper channels.
It sounds intimidating, I know, but it is quite a simple procedure for a complex solution.
You select the target body areas, and then sit for up to two hours with cooling paddles suctioning the skin and crystallizing fat cells. And the best part is, you only need to go in about once a month to every 6 weeks.
You don’t have to worry about taking that hour or two from your day to go to the gym multiple times a week. It is truly a great alternative for those of us who want and need an alternative.
The Pros
The biggest pro, as I mentioned above, is that it’s non surgical. It’s an unobtrusive way of eliminating that extra fat we so desperately want to get rid of without the fear of being put under and cut open.
It is also a natural alternative for those who want to treat their body with care. Because of this, side effects are reduced and there’s hardly any recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal activities almost immediately after.
Another wonderful pro is it’s absolutely painless. You might feel a sucking feeling along with cold in the area that is being worked, but the procedure is innocuous and pain free.
The Cons
Unfortunately, there are a few cons to think of when considering fat freezing.
Although results are quick, they aren’t ‘1 day’ quick. Most patients see results within several days to weeks after the procedure, and for some this can be seen as a setback.
But as you allow your body time to eliminate the fat cells, you will begin to notice a more sleek and slender you.
Another con is that this is for problem areas, not obesity. The procedure cannot effectively work on obese patients as it isn’t for excessive weight, but certain areas you want to focus on.
There are a few common side effects of fat freezing, which can include;
• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Reduced sensation in targeted area
While these side effects can be annoying, they are only temporary, allowing you to go about your day after the procedure is finished.
