Non-Invasive CoolSculpting for Addressing Unwanted Fat

Arizona entrepreneur Dr. Rajan Bhatt guides a number of facilities in the Scottsdale area, including Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center. Among the conditions handled by Dr. Rajan Bhatt and his well-qualified team are spider and varicose veins. They also offer FDA-approved techniques for dealing with unwanted fat, such as CoolSculpting.

Also known as cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure that targets regions of the body that have excessive fat and are resistant to slimming through exercise and diet. Applying freezing temperatures breaks down fat cells, which are more susceptible to cold temperatures than surrounding cells, including underlying tissue and skin cells.

The non-invasive CoolSculpting procedure starts with vacuuming skin above the target fatty tissue into a cooling applicator. The site is numbed with anesthetics and patients often experience a slight cooling sensation. The treatment typically takes under an hour to complete and has no associated post-operative downtime, as the skin and tissue are undamaged. Following a CoolSculpting procedure, fat cells typically take 4 to 6 months to exit the body. At this point, overall fat in the area decreases by around 20 percent.
