CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to reduce fat in major areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, arms, legs, and more. Fat freezing will help you get long-lasting fat cell reduction. However, CoolSculpting is not intended for use as a weight loss or obesity treatment. Fat reduction and weight loss are fundamentally different, though the visible results are similar. The number of fat cells in our bodies is fixed. When you gain weight, fat cells will expand. When you lose weight, fat cells will shrink.The number of fat cells does not change with weight loss and gain. With CoolSculpting treatments, fat cells are actually eliminated and removed naturally from the body.
