Summer Bodies are Made in Winter: Start Coolsculpting® Now and be Swimsuit Ready by Summer

It’s not easy to think about summer when it’s freezing cold outside. But warmer weather is on the way — and now is the time to get your body ready for more revealing clothing. Here’s why scheduling CoolSculpting now is so important.

No matter how much you diet and exercise, you’re probably going to be left with stubborn pockets of resistant fat that just won’t budge. And that means you can be left with lower self-confidence, too. The good news: Noninvasive fat removal can help slim down those areas for sleeker contours and greater self-esteem

At Vivash Medspa, our team offers CoolSculpting® treatment to help men and women put the finishing touches on their physiques. And if you start now, our team can have you bathing suit-ready in time for the warm summer months.

CoolSculpting 101

Not surprisingly, noninvasive fat removal is extremely popular. In fact, about 700,000 treatments are performed each year in the United States. CoolSculpting is different from many other fat removal treatments because it uses a technique called cryolipolysis, harnessing the power of cold energy to “freeze” fat cells, leading to fat cell breakdown.

Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other cells and tissues. During CoolSculpting, they absorb far more of that targeted cold energy, causing their cell walls to become brittle while surrounding cells and tissues are unaffected.

Once those cell walls are damaged, the fat itself breaks down. Over time, your body carries off the fatty debris and disposes of it, leaving you with sleeker, slimmer contours — without surgery, incisions, sutures, or prolonged recovery time.

What to expect during and after CoolSculpting

During CoolSculpting, you’ll relax and recline while the CoolSculpting device does all the work. Before treatment, we place special gel pads on your skin to protect it, allowing the targeted cold energy to penetrate to layers where fat cells reside.

Throughout your session, the CoolSculpting device emits pulses of cold energy, crystallizing fat cells so they become brittle and break down. The treatment takes about 30-60 minutes, and you can spend that time reading, listening to music, surfing the web, or relaxing.

After your treatment, there’s no downtime, but you can expect the treated area to feel a little sore or numb, effects that wear off soon afterward. You can have treatment and then resume most of your activities right away.

Why now is the best time for treatment

Remember: CoolSculpting doesn’t remove fat instantly. Instead, it damages fat cells so they wither away over time. That means you won’t see your results instantly, either.

In fact, while you may begin to see improvements in about four weeks or so, many people continue to notice improvements for a few months after their treatment as the body removes fatty debris and reveals slimmer contours.

That’s why scheduling treatment now is so important: Considering summer is just a few short months away, booking CoolSculpting right now means your body will be ready once the warm weather rolls back into town.

If you have stubborn fat on your belly, back, chest, arms, thighs, or buttocks, CoolSculpting could be the solution you’re looking for. To learn more, request an appointment online or over the phone with the team at Vivash Medspa in Mahopac or Cold Spring, New York, today.
