Coolsculpting and Its Drawbacks

Coolsculpting, the so-called "cool" solution for fat reduction, is promoted as a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction and invasive procedures. This technique, based on cryolipolysis, involves freezing fat cells while sparing other tissues. The body will eventually break down and absorb the frozen fat after several hours of freezing in the fat-prone areas. It does, however, come with a list of caveats. First, it's not suitable for everyone; only those with small, protruding fat deposits need to apply. Second, there are knock-off versions that have emerged on the market, offering the experience of sitting in a glorified freezer as an alternative. And last but not least, users have reported significant pain during the procedure.
