You cut calories, you exercise more, and you’re seeing results in terms of the number on the scale — but not so much in the remaining pockets of stubborn fat around your body.
Losing weight is challenging under the best of circumstances, and there’s a lot that you need to “work around,” including biology, age, and the very nature of fat.
Well, CoolSculpting® provides that workaround, which is why board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero and our team of specialists offer this innovative fat reduction technology at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center in Warrenton, Virginia.
Here, we look at some of the many reasons why there were nearly half a million fat reduction treatments in the United States in 2024, with CoolSculpting leading the charge.
When you embark on a journey to lose weight, there are a few key points to keep in mind. The first is that adults carry a steady number of fat cells throughout their lives — your body does not create new fat cells.
While many people believe that the number of fat cells increases when you gain weight, this is not the case. Instead, when you gain or lose weight, your existing cells expand and shrink accordingly.
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive body contouring system that relies on cryolipolysis (freezing) to eliminate fat cells. As we just discussed, when you lose weight, you’re shrinking existing fat cells. With CoolSculpting, we can destroy between 20-25% of the fat cells in your treatment areas, and once these fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
Another challenge when it comes to losing weight is that spot reduction isn’t possible: If you’re trying to exercise away certain pockets of fat, your body may have different ideas.
The reality is that your body chooses where you lose fat, and this choice is largely based on biology, gender, and age. With CoolSculpting, we can put spot reduction back on the table as we use the device to actively target and reduce specific deposits of fat.
Another benefit our clients appreciate is that CoolSculpting is totally noninvasive. You simply lie back and let the system do its job as it safely delivers the cooling energy through your skin and into the fat cells below. With no incisions or anesthesia, there’s no downtime, either!
Since CoolSculpting is noninvasive and has a variety of applicator sizes, we can use the technology most anywhere on your body, including your:
We can even use CoolSculpting to tackle extra fat under your chin and around your jawline.
If you’re spinning your wheels trying to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat, why not let CoolSculpting close that gap? You can reveal your best body just in time for swimsuit season.
