WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING MACHINE?
Let me paint you a picture. You are somewhat fit, or very fit and there are some problem areas that just make you feel uncomfortable about your body. You’ve tried dips, crunches, cardio, waist trainers and nothing has worked. Let me introduce you to the world of Coolsculpting‘. Now before I go on and tell you exactly what it is, let me tell you who it’s for. The easiest way to do that is by telling you who it isn’t for. It is NOT for anyone who is obese or overweight. That is because it is not a WEIGHT LOSS product.
Coolsculpting is actually a genericized trademark. What I mean by that is that the technical name for this procedure goes by non surgical liposuction, fat freezing or to take it even further to scientific terms, cryolipolysis. Ultimately, through marketing, branding and just overall catchiness, people refer to all non-surgical liposuction terms as Coolsculpting’. This is displayed simply by the sheer search volume for the service on Google’s search engine. But since the invention of this fat freezing machine, many competitors have moved into the space due to the fact that THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS…. When done correctly.
HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING MACHINE WORK?
According to Columbus, OH CoolSculpting expert Dr. Christie Lorton, MD of Elite Body & Laser, CoolSculpting works by using an applicator to reduce the temperature of your fat cells to the point where they die and then are excreted out of the body. This is known as cryolipolysis. Once completed, clinic tests have shown that 25% of the fat in the area treated can be removed. This though does not happen immediately upon completion of the procedure. Fat elimination results take about 3 weeks as the body takes tie to expel the fat cells through a natural excretion process.
Additional effects of Coolscupting
Some coolsculpting machines can be used at home and even reduce cellulite and have a skin tightening formula embedded in their fat freezing process. One of these machines is TruSculpt 3D by Cutera. If you are looking for a Fort Lauderdale Coolsculpting vendor that is a TruSculpt 3D provider, please check out SLIM Health Center located in Hallandale Beach, FL. Clinic Director Eman Kazoun says TruSculpt is superior to other machines such as Coolsculpting and Sculpsure for a variety of reasons. For one, the applicator adheres to a wider population which calls for more customizable treatments. Furthermore and most importantly, there’s little to no tenderness, and absolutely no swelling or bruising after your treatment. So yes, absolutely zero downtime and superior better results, I’ve seen them both in action, we had a lot of customer complaints at my old clinic.
Not only this, but TruSculpt 3D also has a skin tightening mechanism built into it so that your treated areas stay tight and look more aesthetically pleasing.
TRUSCULPT 3D
As mentioned before, Trusculpt 3d is made by Cutera and is one of the most superior machines on the market. This Monopolar RF system delivers repeatable and uniform body contouring results. By holding it’s temperature more consistently it delivers better treatment to the tissue and hence yields better results. While other machines are very static in their delivery method, TruSculpt 3D uses a glide technique which allows the practitioner or clinician to apply the applicator in a more unique manner. TruSculpt 3D was released in 2017 and is simply a newer technology. When comparing the amount of sessions needed per area to gain the desired results, you are limited to 1, maybe 2 sessions. This is less than its competitors such as Coolsculpting that require a minimum of 3 sessions. TruSculpt 3D is also less expensive but that varies from provider to provider. Last but not least, areas that TruSculpt can treat that it’s competitors cannot include the arms, shoulders and hips.
SCULPSURE
Sculpsure is a product made by a company called Cynosure. They have a bigger marketing budget and use that to sign up celebrities to promote their brand. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it says nothing about the quality of their product. Their process is different and instead of cryolipolysis, it actually uses a cavitation method which means Sculpsure uses HEAT, not cold technology like some of it’s competitors. Regardless, these machines are all in the same arena of body contouring / body sculpting. On their website, it claims that results take up to 3 months to be fully realized.
VANQUISH
While still a non-surgical fat reduction tool, vanquish begins to leave the realm of applicator based heat/cool technologies to remove fat. Designed to decrease the circumference of your mid-section and/or thighs, Vanquish uses selective heating in order to get the job done. The heat energy penetrates deep into fat layers but never touches the skin which further separates it from its competitors. Sessions take 45 minutes and it treats mainly large areas of the body. RealSelf claims that a majority of users rate their experience with the Vanquish Not Worth It and small areas of fat necrosis are not uncommon. Fat necrosis are lumpy areas under the skin that are sometimes hardened to the touch and are due to an unequal distribution of heat/cold during your treatment. This is also referred to as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia or simply, PAH. They are treatable over time and can be resolved with massage.
COOLSCULPTING?
Coolsculpting? is the granddaddy of all the cryolipolysis machines. The same could be said for cavitation machines even though they use heat, Coolsculpting? has become synonymous with the Body Sculpting / Body Contouring / Non-surgical Liposuction verbiage within the community. That’s not to say it is superior by any means. First off, due to its design where fat needs to be pulled into its receptacle or applicator, PAH is more common with Coolsculpting than with TruSculpt 3D. Anyhow, its design limits its efficacy and forces it to work best on areas where fat can be physically pinched.
BODY SCULPTING AND WEIGHT LOSS
As we mentioned before, Body Sculpting is not for everyone. It is mostly for people that are in somewhat good physical condition and have specific problem areas. It is extremely popular and effective with women who are suffering symptoms from their pregnancy. If you are looking for a weight loss clinic, try SLIM Health Center. They are located in Hallandale Beach, FL and effectively serve the Fort Lauderdale and North Miami Beach areas.
THE VERDICT
As you can see, not all body sculpting machines are created equal. Although they all have the same goal in mind, they differ greatly not just in technology but the way that technology is applied to your skin. Certain machines are limited or made liability by the actual physical technique that fat is being targeted. After our research, it seems that TruSculpt 3D is the most technologically advanced choice and also more affordable.
