DIY CoolSculpting is a misguided attempt to freeze your fat at home. Also known as CoolSculpting at home, people hope to save money on CoolSculpting costs by performing the fat reduction treatment on their own. This disturbing trend is fueled as raving reviews on CoolSculpting talks about reducing fat without surgery and minimal downtime.
These DIY hacks promote ridiculous ideas that don’t work. Furthermore, walking around all day with a “lipo belt” with ice packs is dangerous.
To understand why CoolSculpting doesn’t work, it is helpful to understand the dynamics of the treatment. CoolSculpting is a popular fat reduction treatment. It reduces stubborn bulges without surgery and minimal downtime. Also known fat freezing, CoolSculpting employs a scientifically developed process known as cryolipolysis (“cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat + “lysis” = cell death). Simply put, CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells by exposing them to princely controlled cooling. Furthermore, CoolSculpting is the only FDA cleared fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate difficult fat cells.

The CoolSculpting machine is equipped with propriety applicators. The applicators are necessary for various safety and efficacy reasons. When using a CoolSculpting applicator, a specialist will place a gel pad on top of the applicator to protect the skin from frostbite or thermal injury. Next, the specialist uses the applicator to draw up the tissue. This pulls the subcutaneous cells away from the body and into the applicator. The applicator then uses different angles to chill the cells. Throughout this process, the CoolSculpting applicator uses temperature sensors to constantly gauge the temperature of the skin. If the skin temperature drops below the specified threshold, the CoolSculpting machine automatically turns off. These safety measures protect the patient.
CoolSculpting specialists are also extensively trained in body contouring technology. These professionals know exactly what applicators to use in order to achieve the desired results in body definition and contour.
CoolSculpting machines rely upon precisely controlled cooling techniques, backed by years of research and development. Through proper calibration, these machines are designed to use the appropriate cooling temperatures and times necessary for cell death. Once these fat cells are destroyed, the body will collect and process them out of the body via the lymphatic system.
