Achieve the body you want with CoolSculpting

You can always exercise and maintain a healthy diet to achieve the body weight that you desire. But do you know that when you lose weight, it is just the existing fat cells in your body getting smaller? That is why there are areas of stubborn fats on your body that will never go away. Areas like the tummy, arms, chin, and thighs are always the bugbear of people, who often think that spot exercises will help trim those excess fats away.

But spot toning doesn’t work as the fat cells in those areas are still there, getting bigger as you put on weight. Liposuction is an effective way of getting rid of excess fats but it is an invasive treatment, which will not appeal to everyone. A non-invasive alternative is CoolSculpting, which removes unwanted fat cells by freezing them. The damaged fat cells are then passed out of the body.

If there is some loose skin that you’ll like to tighten up, consider high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which uses focused ultrasound energy to tighten and firm loose skin. Similar to CoolSculpting, there is no downtime with HIFU, which means you can get back to what you need to do straight away after treatment.
