Trying to determine which fat reduction treatment is proper for you can be a daunting task for some individuals. It helps to understand how each experience is different.

Liposuction is conducted by a plastic surgeon in an operating room. This method of fat reduction involves an anesthesiologist putting you fully asleep for the procedure. Different treatment areas have slightly different procedures, but the basic idea of Liposuction involves a scalpel making several incisions in the skin. The surgeon inserts a sharp tube or cannula into the incisions. They then use the tube to break up the fatty tissue and suction the fat out of the body.

The CoolSculpting experience takes as little as 35-minutes, making it quite different from Liposuction. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment that involves attaching a cooling applicator to stubborn fat cells in areas like the belly, thighs, back, or upper arms. The measured cooling freezes the fat cells without harming the skin or tissue.

Several weeks after the treatment, the frozen fat cells are metabolized and excreted as waste. CoolSculpting provides patients with long-lasting fat reduction because once they are removed, the fat cells can never grow back.
