We all have our ideal ‘perfect figure’ that we work towards. We hit the gym, try various diets, and do crunches in our bedroom in hopes that we can achieve it.
Yet, sometimes, that stubborn body fat just clings to you like unyielding sticky tape. Worse, it sticks out in places you don’t want them to and visibly affects the appearance of your silhouette, especially in areas that are impossible to hide, such as your abdomen, upper arms, thighs and buttocks.
If your figure is not in the shape you want it to be, here’s the good news: There is a cool (literally!) body contouring treatment to help you attain the curves you want. We’re talking about CoolSculpting®, the latest fat-freezing treatment by Allergan Aesthetics.
A breakthrough discovery
In the 1970s, a phenomenon called “Popsicle Panniculitis” was discovered when scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. This led Dieter Manstein, MD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD, to understand that ice can selectively damage small pockets of fat cells and cause the fatty tissues to crystallise when exposed to cold temperatures.
The idea that cold can target fat cells—without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue1—was the insight that led to the discovery of cryolipolysis, the science on which the CoolSculpting® therapy is based. Here’s why so many people are raving about it:
