Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Treatment in Edina & Plymouth MN
We all have pockets of fat we wish would go away, but it can be very hard to reduce them, no matter how much we diet and exercise. In the past, people have opted for liposuction to reduce their love handles, muffin tops, saddle bags or back fat. Today, we have CoolSculpting®, a non-surgical liposuction option that freezes and removes fat without affecting skin or other tissues, available in our Plymouth and Edina, MN locations.
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses a controlled cooling temperature to target and reduce fat in specific areas in both men and women. The science behind CoolSculpting was discovered by Harvard Medical School dermatologists. Lipids are crystalized through controlled cooling or freezing, creating a natural reduction of fat cells. Then, the fat cells in the treated area are gently removed through the body’s normal metabolic processes.
Typical Treatment Areas Include:
- Belly Fat
- Waist or “Love Handles”, “Muffin Tops”
- Back Fat
- Outer Thigh Fat
- Hip Fat or “Saddle Bags”
- Upper-arm Fat
What to Expect from CoolSculpting Treatment with Next Generation CoolAdvantage™ Applicator
The CoolAdvantage applicator reduces treatment time by nearly half, to 35 minutes, provides greater comfort and delivers a larger cooling area to treat more tissue. The revolutionary cup design provides colder temperatures to reduce treatment times. The number of applications needed depends on the actual size of the area being treated. Patients receiving treatment with the CoolAdvantage applicator report a 45 percent improvement in comfort scores, so most people can resume their daily activities immediately.
