Is CoolSculpting The Answer To A Flat Stomach? 是CoolSculpting回答一個平坦的腹部？

I’ve lost 70 lbs., and I’m proud that my efforts have resulted in a strong, healthy body, but as I’m staring down those final 20 to 25 lbs. toward my goal, I’m also staring at some stubborn belly rolls that just won’t budge—even though I know there are hard-earned abs under there. 

A quick search revealed what seemed like a great non-surgical solution: CoolSculpting by Zeltig. This non-invasive procedure hit all the right points, and the allure of sitting in a doctor’s office while a machine that gently freezes unwanted fat via a process called Cryolipolysis is incredibly alluring. The fat naturally melts away from the body without any downtime? Sign me up! Or is it too good to be true? 

In a word, yes. “30-40% of my liposuction patients come to me after they’ve already wasted thousands of dollars on the technology,” says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a top New York Cosmetic Dermatologist. “It just gives a bad name to CoolSculpting, which is actually pretty novel and good, but totally oversold. Plenty of doctors and medi-spas that have a CoolSculpting device aren’t experienced in liposuction surgery, and unfortunately won’t turn away a client for whom it isn’t the best option.”

So, let’s talk about why. “There’s science behind CoolSculpting. It works, but it’s for teacups, not soup bowls; it only removes about a centimeter of fat, which is essentially the width of a fingernail,” says Dr. Frank. “It works well on thinner people who have a couple of trouble spots that might be resistant to diet and exercise: men with hereditary love handles, women who’ve just had a baby, etc. But the majority of people who walk through the door aren’t great candidates for it. Of all the body sculpting technologies I have —and I do 300 liposuctions a year —it’s not often I turn the machine on. People come in thinking that they want it because it sounds so great—and I’m glad I have it—but it’s not for everybody.” 

Which is an important distinction for those of us with stubborn pounds versus a tiny bit of tuning up here and there. “It’s very much a “drive-thru technology,” Dr. Frank says. “People who want to look like they’ve lost ten pounds won’t do well. It either won’t produce the results they want, or they’ll have to go back so many times they might as well do liposuction or a procedure they should have done in the first place. Too many people believe there’s going to be tremendous fat loss, and that simply isn’t the case.”

Let’s talk about that point for a second: it’s not a weight loss procedure. “There is no body sculpting technique that can help shed significant weight. These aren’t huge weight loss procedures; they’re contouring methods. People who want to shed serious body mass need to understand there’s no body contouring procedure that can help with that. There are procedures that can help with that resistant last five-to-ten pounds, but these aren’t the answer to the larger problem.”

There’s another significant point: for those of us who have lost considerable weight, that “fat roll” we’re trying to lose probably isn’t fat; it’s skin. “For people who’ve lost a tremendous amount of weight, a lot of what you’re feeling when you “pinch an inch” is skin and connective tissue that was between the fat cells that you got rid of on your own. There’s a lot of connective tissue—a fibrous network of collagen, elastin, etc.—in between all that fat, and when you lose weight, the fat cells shrink or disappear entirely, but the fibrous network remains as thickened tissue. Also, when you’re heavier, your skin is stretched out. When it deflates, the remaining skin is thicker from being overextended. So, what feels like a fat roll could really be thickened skin.”

“I have not found that people who’ve had significant weight loss (30 lbs. or more) have had any success with these non-invasive technologies, especially when you’re working with stretched skin. Technologies like SmartLipo or Vaser Lipo are the answer to reducing that layer of thickened tissue and producing the results you want. There’s no science that supports that the CoolSculpting device does anything for skin tightening.” 

Candidates for CoolSculpting should have the service performed at the hands of a licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon. “CoolSculpting is popular because its a skill-less procedure: you attach the suction device and it does the work,” explains Dr. Frank. “You can have this done at a gynecologist’s office, a medi spa, and it doesn’t require anywhere near the same skill as liposuction or surgical procedures. Anytime you go in for a consultation, make sure they have a range of options available. If a doctor only has one option for you with any type of procedure, it means their scope of expertise is limited. This is true with anything, from injectables to body sculpting to fat removal.”

Looks like I’ll continue my religious use of SkinCeuticals Body Tightening Concentrate ($78), which has kept my abdominal skin from getting too loose during my weight loss journey (even Dr. Frank was amazed at the tautness of my abdominal skin), and stick with the diet and exercise plan that’s working, happy to bask in the glow of all my hard work.

我已經失去了70磅。，我很自豪的是，我的努力已經產生了一個強大的，健康的身體，但我盯著那些最後的20到25磅朝著我的目標，我也盯著一些頑固的肚子卷，就不會讓步，即使我知道有下有辛苦賺來的腹肌。



快速搜索發現了一個看似巨大的非手術解決方案：由Zeltig CoolSculpting。這種非侵入性的程序擊中了所有正確的點，坐在醫生的辦公室，而一台機器，通過一個名為Cryolipolysis過程中輕輕地凍結多餘的脂肪是難以置信的迷人的魅力。脂肪自然融化的身體沒有任何的停機時間？我要註冊！抑或是太好了，是真的嗎？



總之一句話，是的。 “我的吸脂患者的30-40％來我往之後，他們已經浪費了數千美元的技術，”博士保羅·賈羅德·弗蘭克頂級紐約整容皮膚科醫生說。 “它只是給出了一個不好的名字CoolSculpting，這實際上是非常新穎和良好的，但完全超賣。很多醫生和中介，溫泉具有CoolSculpting設備都沒有經歷過吸脂手術，不幸的是不會拒絕對他們來說這是不是最好的選擇客戶。“



那麼，讓我們來談談為什麼。 “有背後CoolSculpting科學。它的工作原理，但它的茶杯，沒有湯碗;它不僅能消除約一厘米的脂肪，這本質上是一個指甲的寬度，“弗蘭克博士說。 “它運作良好，對較瘦的人誰都有幾個故障點的可能是耐飲食和鍛煉：男性遺傳性游泳圈，婦女誰剛剛生了一個孩子，等，但大多數人誰從門口走是不是因為它的偉大的候選人。所有的塑身技術，我 - 和我 - 它不是時候，我打開機器一年300吸脂。人們都在思考，他們想要它，因為它的聲音如此之大，我很高興我有它，但它並不適合每一個人。“


這對我們這些頑固英鎊對這裡和那裡調整了一點點的一個重要區別。 “這是相當多的”得來速技術，“弗蘭克博士說。 “誰想要看起來他們已經瘦了十斤也不會做得很好的人。它要么不會產生他們想要的結果，否則他們就得回去了那麼多次，他們還不如做抽脂或程序，他們應該首先做的事。太多的人相信將是巨大的脂肪流失，那根本就不是這樣的。“


讓我們來談談這點，第二：它不是一種減肥方法。 “沒有塑身技術，可以幫助了解顯著重量。這些都不是巨大的減肥方法;他們在輪廓的方法。誰想要擺脫嚴重的體重的人需要了解有沒有塑身的過程，可以幫助這一點。有程序，可以幫助抵抗那最後五到十英鎊，但這些都不是答案的大問題。“


還有一個顯著點：對於我們這些誰失去了相當大的比重，即“發卷”我們正在努力可能失去的是不是脂肪;它的皮膚。 “對於誰已經失去了重量了大量的人，有很多你的感覺，當你”掐一英寸“的皮膚，這是，你有你自己擺脫脂肪細胞之間的結締組織。有很多的膠原蛋白，彈性蛋白等，在所有的脂肪之間的結締組織纖維網，而當你減肥時，脂肪細胞縮小或完全消失，但纖維網絡仍然是增厚的組織。此外，當你重，你的皮膚被拉伸出來。當放氣時，其餘的皮膚被過度厚。那麼，是什麼感覺就像一個滾動的脂肪真的可以增厚的皮膚。“


“我還沒有發現誰已經有顯著減肥的人（30磅或以上）曾與這些非侵入性技術，任何的成功，特別是當你使用拉伸皮膚。喜歡的Smartlipo或VASER脂微球技術是答案，減少組織增厚那層並產生你想要的結果。有沒有科學支持的CoolSculpting設備做任何事情的皮膚收緊。“


考生CoolSculpting應該有授權的皮膚科醫生或整形外科醫生的手進行的服務。 “CoolSculpting很受歡迎，因為它的一個技能少操作：您可以將抽吸裝置，它做的工作，”弗蘭克博士解釋說。 “你可以把這個工作在婦科醫生的辦公室，中介水療中心，它並不需要同樣的技巧，抽脂或外科手術附近的任何地方。任何時候你去進行諮詢，確保他們有一系列的可用選項。如果醫生只有一個選項，供您使用任何類型的程序，這意味著他們的專業範圍是有限的。這是真的有什麼，從注射到塑身脂肪去除。“

看起來我會繼續我的宗教用途SkinCeuticals機構收緊精礦（$78），已經從過程中得到我的減肥之旅（連弗蘭克博士是驚訝於我的腹部皮膚拉緊）太松一直在我的腹部皮膚，堅持與飲食和運動計劃，該計劃的工作，快樂在我所有的努力煥發曬太陽。
