How Does CoolSculpting® to Freeze Fat Cells Compare to Liposuction?
CoolSculpting® to freeze fat cells is very different to liposuction, though both of them are effective for treating resistant deposits of fat and sculpting your silhouette. Liposuction is more suitable for removing larger portions or quantities of fat. In CoolSculpting®, a gel pad and applicator are used to freeze fat cells. CoolSculpting® freezes fat cells and causes them to crystallize. The body eventually breaks down and removes these cells. Other cells of the body won’t be affected. There is no scarring or any other damage.
On the other hand, liposuction involves several small cuts around areas of fat for removal. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted and the fat is suctioned away. Local or general anesthesia is used for liposuction. CoolSculpting® works best to freeze fat cells on individuals who have small amounts of pinchable fat. Liposuction can remove fat from a larger number of areas in comparison to CoolSculpting®.
Liposuction surgically removes fat cells, offering immediate results but requiring recovery time and carrying surgical risks. Fat freezing treatments, like CoolSculpting®, non-invasively target and freeze fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over weeks. Though slower, fat freezing has fewer risks and no downtime compared to liposuction.
