Most people can lose weight and shred fat if they diligently follow effective diet and exercise regimes. However, many struggle to sculpt their ideal physiques because the fat in some areas of our bodies is naturally resistant to such fat loss efforts. This natural resistance is caused by structural, biological, and hormonal factors that include:
- The body prioritizes exercise- and diet-induced fat loss from different areas at different rates, typically starting with fat located in areas with high metabolic activity.
- Subcutaneous fat just under the skin is more resistant to loss than visceral fat around the organs.
- The fat-burning effects of exercise have a difficult time reaching fat stored in low blood-flow areas, like the chin and thighs.
- Hormonal changes can shift the body’s fat storage patterns to increase fat retention around the abdomen and other resistant areas.
- Chronic stress increases fat retention in specific areas, especially around the midsection.
- Age-related metabolic decreases make it even more challenging to target stubborn fat deposits.
When our Naples-area clients discuss their body contouring struggles due to exercise- and diet-resistant fat, Southwest Florida’s Tru Glō Medspa often recommends they try the clinically proven weight loss and body contouring magic of CoolSculpting®. Since FDA approval in 2010, over 10 million people have undergone this non-invasive fat reduction treatment, which dozens of celebrities have endorsed. Whether you’re having trouble losing fat on your thighs, sides, upper arms, flanks, belly, or anywhere stubborn fat is resisting your weight-loss efforts, turn to our med spa’s CoolSculpting®
treatment in Naples.
Coolsculpting® Basics
Clinically known as “cryolipolosis, CoolSculpting® effectively kills stubborn fat cells by freezing them, without causing damage to skin and surrounding tissues because fat freezes at a higher temperature than other tissues. Following the fat freezing, your body naturally breaks down and removes the dead, crystalized fat cells over the ensuing weeks and months. Because this process takes time, CoolSculpting® can’t make your body swimsuit-ready in a week or so, but it’s a fantastic fat-reducing treatment to consider over the winter months. Most people start noticing visible results within a month, but the most significant visible fat reduction and streamlined contours emerge by the second or third month, by which time your body has had enough time to process the dead fat cells.
The Benefits of Coolsculpting® in Naples
The primary benefits of CoolSculpting® are inherent in its phenomenal results. In clinical trials leading up to FDA approval, patients reported average body fat reductions of 21.5% to 43%, with an 80% reported patient satisfaction rate with the results. Tru Glō Medspa believes that the 20% of patients who were not satisfied likely struggled with deeper layers of visceral fat, which CoolSculpting® cannot reach. Other benefits worthy of note include:
- Provides patients with permanent results because adults do not develop new fat cells. The amount of each person’s fat cells is primarily dictated by genetics, and their size can increase or decrease depending on diet and exercise.
- Limits future weight gains by removing a percentage of existing fat cells that can no longer grow due to dietary choices and cutbacks on exercise. Additionally, any future weight gains are more likely to be evenly distributed throughout the body.
- Produces natural-looking results without lumpy or uneven skin contours that other fat reduction treatments can cause.
- Tru Glō Medspa gives patients personalized treatment with a body contouring expert to help meet fat loss and physique goals.
- CoolSculpting® boosts self-confidence by shredding the fat and enhancing body contours to allow patients to dress with confidence and show off their bodies without being self-conscious.
- The treatment for men who want to reduce love handles for a more pronounced V-shaped core, reduce the appearance of man boobs, or decrease fat under the chin.
- With no downtime, patients can resume all day-to-day activities immediately after their CoolSculpting® session.
