CoolSculpting Elite: Target Stubborn Fat Without Surgery
If you eat well, exercise regularly and still have areas of stubborn fat that simply won’t shift, you’re not alone.
Certain areas of the body can be particularly resistant to diet and exercise, with pockets of fat around the stomach, thighs, flanks, back, arms and underneath the chin often being the last to change.
At Aspire Clinic in Reading, Berkshire, we offer CoolSculpting Elite, an advanced non-surgical fat reduction treatment designed to target stubborn areas of fat and help create a more sculpted, defined body contour.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat freezing treatment that uses controlled cooling technology, known as cryolipolysis, to target fat cells beneath the skin.
During treatment, controlled cooling is delivered to the selected area. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissues, allowing the treatment to target these cells without surgery.
Following treatment, the body gradually processes and eliminates the affected fat cells over the weeks and months that follow.
The result is a gradual reduction of fat in the treated area, helping to create a smoother and more defined body contour.
Why is stubborn fat so difficult to lose?
Unfortunately, we can’t choose exactly where our bodies store or lose fat.
Genetics, hormones, age and natural body shape can all influence where fat is stored. This is why you might lose weight from your face, arms or legs while still holding onto a stubborn pocket around your lower stomach or waist.
This is where CoolSculpting body contouring differs from traditional weight loss.
CoolSculpting isn’t designed as a weight-loss treatment. Instead, it targets localised, pinchable pockets of stubborn fat to help reshape specific areas.
What areas can CoolSculpting Elite treat?
At our Reading aesthetics clinic, CoolSculpting Elite can be used to treat a range of areas depending on your individual suitability, including:
- Stomach and abdomen
- Lower abdominal fat
- Flanks and love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back and bra fat
- Fat underneath the buttocks
- Under the chin and jawline
Your treatment begins with a consultation at Aspire Clinic, where we can assess your areas of concern and determine whether fat freezing is suitable for you.
What are the benefits of CoolSculpting?
Target stubborn fat
One of the biggest benefits of CoolSculpting is its ability to focus on specific areas of unwanted fat.
If you’ve been exercising and eating well but still have an area that doesn’t seem to respond, CoolSculpting can provide a targeted approach to body contouring.
Non-surgical fat reduction
CoolSculpting requires no surgery and no general anaesthetic.
For patients looking for fat reduction in Reading without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure, CoolSculpting offers a non-surgical alternative.
Minimal downtime
CoolSculpting requires little downtime, with most people able to return to their normal daily activities following treatment.
That makes it an increasingly popular option for people who want body contouring without the recovery associated with surgery.
Natural-looking, gradual results
CoolSculpting results develop gradually as your body naturally processes the affected fat cells.
Some changes may begin to become noticeable within several weeks, with results continuing to develop over the following months.
Personalised body contouring
Everyone stores fat differently, so every CoolSculpting treatment plan should be different too.
At Aspire Clinic, your treatment plan is based on your body, the areas you’d like to target and what you would realistically like to achieve.
CoolSculpting vs weight loss – what’s the difference?
It’s important to understand that CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment.
When you lose weight naturally, your existing fat cells become smaller.
CoolSculpting works differently by targeting fat cells within a specific treatment area, which the body then gradually eliminates.
This makes CoolSculpting particularly suited to people who aren’t necessarily looking for significant weight loss but want to address specific areas of stubborn fat.
What happens during a CoolSculpting treatment?
Your CoolSculpting journey at Aspire Clinic starts with a consultation.
We’ll discuss the areas that are bothering you, assess whether the fat is suitable for treatment and talk through what you can realistically expect from CoolSculpting.
During treatment, a CoolSculpting applicator is positioned over the chosen area to deliver controlled cooling.
Initially, you may experience sensations including cold, pulling, pressure or tugging. As the area becomes numb, these sensations generally reduce.
After treatment, temporary side effects can include redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, tingling or numbness. Your Aspire practitioner will discuss potential side effects and aftercare with you before proceeding.
How long does it take to see CoolSculpting results?
Fat freezing results develop gradually rather than immediately.
Your body needs time to naturally process the affected fat cells, so you may begin to notice changes within the first few weeks, with further changes developing over the following months.
The number of treatment cycles needed will depend on the area being treated, the amount of fat present and your desired result.
Some patients may benefit from treating several areas as part of a more comprehensive body contouring treatment plan.
Are CoolSculpting results permanent?
Fat cells successfully destroyed through cryolipolysis are gradually removed by the body’s natural processes.
However, CoolSculpting doesn’t prevent the remaining fat cells from increasing in size if you gain weight.
Maintaining a relatively stable weight, staying active and following a balanced lifestyle can therefore help you maintain your body contouring results.
Who is suitable for CoolSculpting?
You may be suitable for CoolSculpting if you:
- Have localised areas of pinchable, stubborn fat
- Are looking for body contouring rather than significant weight loss
- Would prefer a non-surgical treatment
- Are generally close to a weight you’re comfortable maintaining
- Have realistic expectations about the results
A consultation is important because CoolSculpting isn’t appropriate for everyone, and suitability should always be assessed individually.
