Losing the battle of the bulge?
Get to know CoolSculpting,
the no-surgery, no-downtime
treatment that freezes away
fat cells – permanently!
The phrase ‘freezing your bottom off’ has taken on a whole new meaning
with CoolSculpting. One of the biggest breakthroughs in non-surgical body
contouring, CoolSculpting now makes it possible to remove fat and slim
down without surgery.
‘CoolSculpting is a clinically proven non-invasive body sculpting technology that
uses freezing temperatures to target areas of the body which are reluctant to shift
fat, resulting in smoother contours, a more sculpted body and a more proportionate
physique,’ says Sylvia Down, practice manager from Skin Renu Laser & Skin
Rejuvenation Clinic in Balmain, Sydney.
‘The demand for non-surgical body sculpting treatments is growing exponentially
as it offers suitable patients a very viable option to eliminate fatty deposits on areas
such as the tummy, love handles and inner thighs in the space of a lunch break,’ she
says. ‘We only offer our clients the crème de la crème of treatments that have been
tested and proven to deliver consistent and measurable results – CoolSculpting
definitely fits this brief.’
Developed by Harvard University medical scientists, the technology behind
CoolSculpting was reportedly inspired by the observation that babies given ice
blocks to suck over a prolonged period of time lost fat in their cheeks. This sparked
years of research into the role freezing plays in the destruction of fat cells.
Renowned US dermatologists Dr Dieter Manstein and Dr Rox Anderson and
their team of researchers from a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School spent
four years researching this phenomenon. They demonstrated that, under carefully
controlled conditions, subcutaneous fat cells are more vulnerable to the effects of
cold than the surrounding tissue.
