A Safer Fat Freeze Alternative: Zeltiq

Zeltiq is a new fat reduction technique which is non-invasive and requires no needles or incisions. It is a convenient alternative as compared to other liposuction methods that are invasive in nature.

The concept of zeltiq uses cool sculpting in which fat cells are frozen and allows them to break down and disperse them for natural elimination. This method of fat reduction has recently been approved by the FDA.A gel patch is applied to the skin surface and protect it from cold by using an applicator to focus on the fat cells and gently suck them up closer to the skin surface. After a period of one to three months, these fat cells disperse through the natural metabolic process .Although the results are slow but they help to change the body contour over a period of time to give a more toned look.

The actual procedure of zeltiq takes couple of hours to make the patient relax but as there are no cuts in this treatment and no need of anesthesia and patients can resume their normal activities just after the treatment. To get the best results from this technique of fat freeze, opt for multiple sessions at least two months apart.

Although this technique is non –invasive but still there are few side effects which are mild and are temporary in nature. Some people face a kind of tingling sensation, skin reddening and occasional bruising but all these symptoms subside from time. No traces of this treatment will be visible after the treatment. The health risks are least by using this method for fat freeze. All these reasons make zeltiq as a preferred choice for any patient who wants to reduce fat from the body.

In the process of Zeltiq, a gradual and subtle breakdown of fat cells occurs and it is not an appropriate treatment for obese patients which high body mass index. It works wonders for people who have stubborn fat deposits like the love handles or muffin tops. Most of the people over 40 opt for this method to maintain the slim body contour of the body. But the best results of Zeltiq can be obtained by following a healthy diet and exercise regime.

The whole process of zeltiq is not cheap and it costs around $1500 depending upon the fat freeze clinic but when compared to other alternatives then we can say that it gives value for money.
