کول اسکالپتینگ یکی از روشهای لاغری غیرتهاجمی است که سلولهای چربی اضافی را از بین میبرد. هدف آن ازبینبردن چربیهای سرسخت در قسمتهای خاصی از بدن است. در سال ۲۰۱۰ سازمان غذا و داروی آمریکا (FDA) این روش را تأیید کرده است. گرچه مطالعاتی اثربخشی کول اسکالپتینگ را نشان دادهاند، این روش برای همه مؤثر نیست و مزایا و معایبی دارد. In the following, we will get to know more about the Cool Sculpting slimming method and how it works and uses. style="display:none;">
Cole Sculpting: Non-Invasive Slimming, Benefits, Complications and Cost

What is the scientific basis of Cool Sculpting?
Col Sculpting uses a method called cryolipolysis (CLL). In this method, a roll of fat is placed between two panels and cooled to freezing temperature. An analysis in 2014 showed that cryolipolysis is a relatively effective method and improvements were observed in 86% of the participants undergoing treatment in various studies. On average, cryolipolysis reduces the amount of fat in the target areas by 10-25%.
How does cold reduce fat?
Cryolipolysis is based on the hypothesis that fat cells (adipocytes) are sensitive to low temperatures. In cryolipolysis, controlled cooling causes selective destruction of fat cells due to apoptosis (death of fat cells) caused by cold. At first, the body shows an inflammatory reaction, and after that, the fat cells in the treated area are reduced during a period of three months. This technology leads to the reduction of unwanted fat deposits in certain areas of the body without the need for surgery.
Cole Sculpting method was invented after the discovery of Harvard University researchers. They observed that some children developed hollow cheeks after eating ice cream. The researchers found that the cold from the iced food freezes the fat cells and destroys the fat deposits. Researchers were looking for ways to turn this science into a useful treatment. CoolSculpting is the result of years of research and testing to understand this discovery.
In CoolSculpting fat is frozen, not other tissues. Fat freezes at a temperature higher than the temperature of the skin. The cryolipolysis machine cools the fat to a temperature that destroys it, while not harming the skin and other tissues. Cool Sculpting targets unwanted fat with precise cooling using special pads. Treated fat cells are crystallized or frozen using the Cole Sculpting machine. After freezing, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated by the body.
Final results may not appear for several months, but you may notice changes within a few weeks. During this time, the body's immune system slowly destroys dead fat cells.

The difference between Cool Sculpting and similar slimming methods and devices
for Other methods are also used to eliminate, reduce or break down fat, which include:
- liposuction: a type of plastic surgery that removes fat deposits;
- thermal treatments (SculpSure): a laser is used to remove fat;
- acid injection Deoxycolic (Kybla): breaks down fat cells (only used for the chin area);
- Radiofrequency methods (TheroScalp, Vanquish): destroys fat cells with heat;
- Using Zerona laser (Zerona) or cold laser: shrinks fat cells
- Electromagnetic therapy with the Emsculpt device (Emsculpt): used to break down fat cells and tighten muscles.
Liposuction is still the standard method for targeting excess fat under the skin. In liposuction, a suction cannula is used to remove fat from specific areas of the body. Weight loss with CoolSculpting may not be as effective or predictable as liposuction, but it has advantages over this traditional method:
- It is non-surgical;
- It is non-invasive;
- It does not require recovery time: after the treatment, you can go home and immediately return to your usual activities;
- It does not require anesthesia: while liposuction is usually done by making small incisions. It is performed and often requires sedation or general anesthesia.

Although Cool Sculpting It's generally a safe method, you might want to use more proven methods. Currently, there are many energy-based technologies and devices that are marketed to improve body shape and reduce unwanted fat. It is better to consult your doctor about these technologies, their effectiveness and side effects.
Cool Sculpting applications in body shaping
If you have a mass of fat that does not disappear even with exercise and diet changes, Cool Sculpting can be a good option. This method only affects small fat deposits and does not affect weight loss, but it is a good choice if you want to smooth or "shape" a certain part of your body.
The doctor can use cryolipolysis to remove fat cells in the following areas:
- under the chin and jawline;
- thighs;
- abdomen;
- back and flanks;
- under the buttocks;
- along the bra line;
- arms.
There are generally two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the type of fat that you are probably most familiar with. Subcutaneous fat is observed in areas such as around the abdomen, hips and sides. But visceral fat covers the organs and is located in the deeper parts of the body. You cannot see these fats. Excess visceral fat increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Cool sculpting freezes the subcutaneous fat near the surface of the skin, but does not affect the visceral fat.
Abdominal and flank fat reduction without surgery
Fat protrusions on both sides of the waist respond well to fat freezing in cryolipolysis, even if diet and exercise program have no effect on reducing them. Abdomen is also one of the common areas of fat accumulation because most of us are genetically prone to store extra fat in this area. Therefore, the abdominal area is one of the most popular target areas in the Cool Sculpting slimming method.

Effect on arms, thighs and buttocks
Skin loss and accumulation of fat under the arms can wear Make it difficult for you to wear blouses or sleeveless dresses. Cool Sculpting can give you smooth and slim arms by removing excess fat under the arm. Cole Sculpting is also very useful in achieving outstanding results on the outer and inner thighs. With a few comfortable and painless treatment sessions, you can get rid of excess thigh fat. Excess fat under the chin makes the appearance of the face and jaw unpleasant. The special design of the Mini Cool Sculpting applicator effectively removes the fat in the groin area and makes your face more beautiful.

Who should not use CoolSculpting?
Cryolipolysis is not a way to lose weight. This technique is suitable for helping to remove small amounts of excess fat that are resistant to other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise.
Avoid cryolipolysis if you have the following problems:
- Skin laxity;
- Cryoglobulinemia: a condition in which abnormal proteins are deposited in the blood in cold temperatures;
- Cold urticaria (a skin condition that occurs when you are cold) becomes hives);
- Cold attack hemoglobinuria (a type of anemia that destroys red blood cells when cold)
- Raynaud's phenomenon, pernio or chilblains (diseases that affect blood flow in cold temperatures);
- Infection;
- Hernia.
In the following conditions You should also avoid cryolipolysis:
- You cannot tolerate the cold;
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding;
- You are severely obese and local fat reduction does not have significant results.
Cryolipolysis should not be performed on areas with the following problems:
- Varicose veins;
- Neurological problems;
- Rashes or Lesions;
- Lots of scarring;
- Poor blood flow.
If you have any of the above problems, ask your doctor about options such as diet, exercise, liposuction or abdominoplasty (abdominal plastic surgery). (fat freezing process) is used to eliminate unwanted fat cells. Cryolipolysis is not surgical and does not use needles. The Cool Sculpting machine keeps the part of the body that we want to remove fat between two cooling plates. The plates cool quickly and the doctor places them in place for about 35 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. This process destroys about 20 to 25% of fat cells in the desired area. During CoolSculpting sessions, you may feel stretching or tingling on the skin, tingling, pain and extreme cold. These feelings disappear within a few minutes by numbing the affected area. Depending on your treatment plan, you can treat one area or several areas in each session.
Preparation before the Cool Sculpting session
Cool Sculpting is a non-invasive method, so you don't need much preparation before the session, but wearing loose and comfortable clothes is helpful. The session begins with a member of the treatment team taking some measurements so that you can compare before and after the operation. Then they mark the area or areas under treatment to determine the appropriate location of the Cole Sculpting applicator. You may be given disposable clothes so that your clothes are not stained with possible gel pad residues.
The Cool Sculpting session starts with cleaning the desired area and placing a clear gel pad on it. This gel pad acts as a barrier between the cooling pad and the skin. After placing the gel pad on the area, the CoolSculpting Applicator is placed in place. Within the first 5 to 10 seconds, when the applicator sucks the skin and fat between the cooling plates, you will feel a slight stretch and cool feeling.
Duration and Frequency of Cool Sculpting Sessions
Cool Sculpting treatment for each area takes 35 minutes to 1 hour. If there are more treatment areas, each session may take several hours. Larger body parts may also require more sessions than smaller parts. Treatments are usually repeated within 1 to 3 months and include an average of 2 to 3 treatment sessions for each area. In addition, up to 4 areas (such as the abdomen and sides) can be treated at the same time. During the session, you can sleep, watch TV, read, answer e-mails or just relax.
Tips after a CoolSculpting session to increase effectiveness
After the session, a member of the treatment team intensively massages the target area to increase blood flow, break down fat cells and improve fat loss. You can perform cryolipolysis in a doctor's office. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the session, so you don't need to plan for a post-session recovery period. It's okay to drive home.
Colsculpting side effects usually include redness, numbness, skin sensitivity, swelling, tingling, or bruising in the treated area. These side effects usually disappear within a week or two, but in some people, the numbness caused by Cole Sculpting lasts for several weeks.
Since the body naturally disposes of dead fat cells, you will see results after about 6 weeks. It takes up to 12 weeks to see full results. The body continues to discard unwanted fat cells for several months. The final results are obtained about 3 to 6 months after the treatment. According to some studies, cool sculpting also helps to tighten the skin.
It is very important to follow healthy habits after doing this procedure. You may still gain weight after CoolSculpting. In case of weight gain, this extra weight is distributed evenly throughout the body. Talk to your doctor about your proper diet and exercise program.
Coal Sculpting or TheroScalp: Which is better?
The non-invasive TheroScalp fat reduction method uses MonoPolar RF (Radio Frequency) technology to destroy fat cells in the treated areas, such as the abdomen and flanks. TheroScalp is a clinically proven technology that uses heat to target stubborn fat cells.
TheroScalp sessions take 15 minutes to remove an average of 25% of fat. Troscalp sessions are adjusted according to individual needs and body characteristics. Troscalp is ideal for people with a BMI above 30 and those who want to reduce fat layers in the abdomen, arms, waist, hips, sides, thighs and bra line.
The radio frequency (RF) technology used in Troscalp is one of the safest and most effective non-surgical body shaping technologies. Troscalp also has other benefits such as skin tightening. Unlike other body contouring methods, thero-scalp tightens the skin around the treated area and prevents loosening and the creation of excess skin due to fat removal.
Although Cole Sculpting and Thero-Scalp have similar results, Thero-Scalp has advantages over Cole-Sculpting, such as:
length of sessions
Both areas are special methods target that many people have difficulty in reducing fat and tightening them. Also, both methods need about 12 weeks to achieve maximum results. But in Troscalp, these results are obtained in 15 minutes, while Cool Sculpting sessions need about 105 minutes.
Treatment technology
In Troscalp, monopolar RF technology is used. In this technology, heat is used to damage fat cells. Troscalp treatments are performed at a temperature of about 114 degrees Fahrenheit (45.5 degrees Celsius), just a few degrees above average body temperature. This causes the process of damaging the fat to begin faster. While in Cool Sculpting, focused cold cryo hypothermia is used to damage the fat cells by freezing, and it takes much longer to reach the required temperature.
Convenience of treatment
Theroscalp treatments create a sensation similar to hot stone massage. Although the skin temperature around the treatment area increases, it usually does not reach uncomfortable levels. In contrast, CoolSculpting treatments feel less comfortable; Many patients report various sensations during the treatment process, such as stretching, cramping, pinching, and a feeling of extreme cold. After the session, you may notice heat and redness in the treatment area for about an hour. But Cole Sculpting sessions can cause various side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, and skin sensitivity that may last for several days.
Treatment Areas
Theroscalp can eliminate fat cells that are not eliminated by Cole Sculpting. TheroScalp is approved for fat reduction in non-pinchable areas and loose skin and has proven success in reducing fat in these areas. Troscalp is the first and only body shaping treatment for patients with BMI over 30.

The Doctor's Last Word
If you've tried diet and exercise but still can't get rid of stubborn fat deposits, CoolSculpting can be a good option. In this method, a tool is used to freeze fat cells in a certain part of the body. Cole Sculpting can be performed in a doctor's office, does not require anesthesia, and is generally a safe procedure. But this method does not lead to overall weight loss and may have side effects. Ask your doctor if CoolSculpting is suitable for you.
If CoolSculpting is done with proper planning, during several sessions and by an experienced doctor, it will have maximum results and the risk of side effects will decrease.
