The main reason CoolSculpting results can last long is that the procedure manages to remove fat cells, which is done through cryolipolysis. By crystalizing the internal structure of stubborn fat, the treatment process manages to terminally injure these cells and remove them by letting the body metabolize and expel them. These results, in turn, become permanent because transferred fat cells cannot regrow and be replaced with new ones as the number of available fat cells in the body becomes fixed. However, it’s especially vital to note that this treatment must be coupled with a healthy lifestyle because there are still a few fat cells that remain (and must be kept to ensure that your body survives). Maintenance is vital because these remaining fat cells can again expand and bring your body back to pre-procedure shape if you aren’t careful!
