AN ATHLETES GUIDE TO COOLSCULPTING

 

 

If you are a devoted athlete, i.e. runner, boxer, yogi, cycler, mountain climber, dancer (this list goes on of course)…—and still find that you have “unwanted” fat, let’s face it, you are not alone. It is natural for the body to keep those unwanted pockets of fat, even with healthy diet and exercise. That is why more than 4 million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed worldwide. In fact, ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are those who are relatively fit, but have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise.

SO, WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING AND WHY ALL THE RAGE, YOU ASK?
FDA-approved, the CoolSculpting procedure is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat-reduction procedure. It’s an innovative way to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat away with no surgery or downtime. People everywhere are getting a better view of themselves, thanks to the one-of-a-kind CoolSculpting procedure. Plus, everyone is talking about it. From winning the NewBeauty “Beauty Choice Award,” for three consecutive years to making the #PeoplesList, and as seen on the The Doctors, The View, E!, and many more.

In a short summary, the idea of CoolSculpting was developed when a few Harvard scientists discovered a childhood “popsicle theory.” They observed that there were children who acquired dimples in their cheeks after eating popsicles because the popsicles were freezing and eliminating fat cells.

Today, the idea that cold can target fat cells is the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based.

CoolSculpting (a device approved by the FDA) reduces fat by freezing it, while part of your skin is held under vacuum by an applicator. About 20% of the fat cells freeze and are reabsorbed by the body in every treatment. Your skin, however, is not affected.

 

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING:

• is in good health.
• is within 20 to 30 pounds of their target body weight.
• have healthy skin with limited laxity.
• has “pinchable” or “grab-able” fat that can be pulled from the body.
• has discreet or distinct pockets of fat with well-defined borders.
• can be male or female; while men and women carry their fat differently, CoolSculpting can be used regardless of gender.

As seen in the CoolSculpting testimonial, athletes turn to CoolSculpting, and for many good reasons, including the following:

COOLSCULPTING HAS NO DOWNTIME

  • NO SURGERY
  • NO ANESTHESIA
  • NO NEEDLES
  • NO INVASIVE TECHNIQUES
  • NO DOWNTIME

This might just be the number one reason as to why athletes choose CoolSculpting. Time is of the essence and CoolSculpting unlike other known fat reduction surgeries such as liposuction, is a minimally invasive treatment that targets fat cells without damage to other cells and tissue. Because this is a non-invasive treatment, many patients return to work or exercise immediately after they have received a treatment. And yes, you read that correctly about returning to work! A CoolSculpting treatment only takes about 35 minutes to an hour (just enough time to fit into your lunch break). But it is important to note that each patient varies, so always consult with a medical expert before proceeding to your daily routine.

 

COOLSCULPTING TREATS A VARIETY OF AREAS.                                                                                                                                

CoolSculpting technology is used to sculpt the upper and lower abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, back fat and arms and even double chins. This covers those hard to lose areas, even for athletes.
If you pinch the skin in the area you are interested in treating and are able to stretch 1 to 2 inches of excess skin/fat, then you will benefit from CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is designed to remove isolated pockets of fat that persist, even with diet and exercise.

PROVEN RESULTS

RESULTS CAN BE SEEN IN AS QUICKLY AS THREE WEEKS.

Some patients notice a difference in as little as three weeks after a treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

 

WITH CONTINUED EXERCISE, COOLSCULPTING RESULTS REMAIN EFFECTIVE.

If you are an athlete, chances are that you have a solid routine down and with continued exercise and healthy eating habits, patients are less likely to experience subsequent weight gain post CoolSculpting.

 

JUST LIKE YOUR DAILY WORKOUT, REMEMBER TO BRING SOME ENTERTAINMENT.

Always consult with your CoolSculpting technician for preparation, but in general, there is little that you need to do to prepare for a CoolSculpting treatment except for remember to bring your favorite entertainment. Feel free to bring your headphones, favorite movie, a book, your favorite game, or catch up on some work or emails during the treatment. Or, if need, relax and enjoy some downtime by catching up on beauty sleep.
