CoolSculpting® Elite Body Treatment in London: A Non-invasive Solution in Removing Stubborn Fat

CoolSculpting® leverages the unique susceptibility of fat cells to cold temperatures, a phenomenon called cryolipolysis. Fat cells, unlike skin, muscle, or other tissues, are particularly vulnerable to cold due to their lipid-rich composition. When exposed to controlled cooling, the lipids in the fat cells crystallise, damaging the cell membrane and triggering a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death (Manstein et al., 2008). This process initiates a cascade of natural physiological responses to eliminate fat safely and effectively

During the procedure, the treated area experiences:

• Vasoconstriction: Blood vessels constrict in response to the cold, reducing blood flow and protecting surrounding tissues.

• Cellular Stress: Fat cells experience cold-induced stress, leading to membrane disruption and cell death (Zelickson et al., 2009).

• Nerve Effects: Temporary numbness or tingling is common, but it resolves within weeks due to the localised nature of the treatment (Nelson et al., 2009).

After treatment, the damaged fat cells undergo apoptosis, a natural cell death process. Apoptosis signals the immune system to mobilise macrophages, a type of white blood cell responsible for clearing apoptotic cells. Over the next few weeks, these macrophages engulf and digest the dead fat cells, metabolising them and removing them from the body via the lymphatic system (Ingargiola et al., 2015).

This localised inflammatory response is essential for fat clearance and does not trigger systemic inflammation, ensuring the safety of the procedure (Shek et al., 2012; Krueger et al., 2014).

CoolSculpting® results in a gradual and measurable reduction in fat thickness over 8-12 weeks post-treatment. Studies consistently show:

• A 25-27% reduction in fat layer thickness in the treated area after a single session (Dierickx et al., 2013).

• Results that are clinically significant and confirmed through imaging techniques such as ultrasound (Ingargiola et al., 2015).

This fat reduction is long-lasting, as once fat cells are destroyed and removed, they do not regenerate (Avram & Harry, 2009).

CoolSculpting® is widely regarded as a safe and tolerable procedure. Common side effects include mild redness, bruising, and swelling, which resolve within days to weeks (Nelson et al., 2009).

A rare side effect is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), where fat cells in the treated area increase instead of decreasing. This occurs in approximately 0.0051% of cases and is manageable through additional treatments (Jalian et al., 2014).

Clinical evidence underscores the effectiveness and high satisfaction rates of CoolSculpting®:

• Over 95% of patients report satisfaction with the visible fat reduction in treated areas (Dierickx et al., 2013).

• The procedure is effective for stubborn fat areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin, making it versatile and appealing for body contouring (Ingargiola et al., 2015).

CoolSculpting® offers a non-invasive, scientifically proven alternative to surgical fat reduction. With no downtime and consistent results backed by robust clinical evidence, it is a trusted solution for individuals seeking to contour their bodies and eliminate stubborn fat deposits.
