One of the key frustrations of maintaining your body as you get older is how nature seems to have its own ideas about the shape of your body and storage of fat tissue.
You can be at or near your optimal weight, achieved through diet and exercise, yet pockets and rolls remain, resisting all your efforts to change. If only you had a way to pinpoint and reduce the size of these deposits, you could achieve the body contours you want.
At Rinnova Skin & Body in Boulder, Colorado, we offer patients cryolipolysis body contouring with CoolSculpting®, a convenient way to remove unwanted fat from specific areas.
If you work out to tone fat away, you only address part of the problem. Fat gets stored throughout your body above and beneath muscle layers.
Toned muscle gives shape to visceral fat located below, but workouts are wasted on subdermal fat that resides below the skin and on top of muscle. As your skin loses laxity, it has little influence over the shape of fat between skin and muscle.
You can’t control these fat deposits through diet or exercise. You have no say over where your body draws extra calories from.
The CoolSculpting system takes advantage of a unique property of fat cells. They have a narrow window of temperature tolerance, protected above by the temperature control of the circulatory system and below by internal body heat.
Cryolipolysis essentially freezes fat cells below a temperature threshold that compromises cell integrity. Your body starts to flush these cells from your body. The cells treated with CoolSculpting are gone for good; your body won’t regenerate them.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared CoolSculpting to treat fat bulges in areas where the CoolSculpting applicator can draw in the tissue. Let’s take a look at the nine primary treatment areas:
We may be able to treat off-label areas if there’s pinchable fat compatible with the CoolSculpting applicator.
