Today we’re diving into more specific surgery-free options for achieving fat removal results: WarmSculpting (also known as SculpSure) and CoolSculpting. Both of these target pockets of fat using extreme temperatures to get rid of them permanently.
The first time I tried CoolSculpting, I wasn’t sold on it, so I had decided not to bring it into my practice. But later, when the MonaLisa Touch came out, I had a completely different experience. I had no discomfort, no lumps, and 2-3 weeks later I noticed the fat on my belly shrinking. Convinced of the effectiveness and ease of procedure, I would then use it for the next decade for my patients.
CoolSculpting has some significant downsides to be aware of. There can be redness, swelling, bruising. The biggest problem you need to know about is skin damage, including a possible loss of sensation for 6 months (and even permanently in some cases).
WarmSculpting also comes with its share of risks, but generally it is safer than CoolSculpting. Where CoolSculpting can leave an uneven appearance, this is a non-issue with WarmSculpting technology. When you use heat to destroy fat, there is always a cold counteractive mechanism to protect the skin.
Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia is a serious complication of CoolSculpting. This happens when the fat cells you try to destroy actually increase in size and firm up. There are a few people whose fat cells react like this too cool sculpting specifically, and it can be disfiguring.
