Coolsculpting Treatment in Glasgow
CoolSculpting (often called cryolipolysis in general) is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses precisely controlled cooling to freeze fat cells beneath the skin. The idea is that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues. So when theyre chilled to certain temperatures, they undergo natural cell death and are gradually cleared out by your bodys lymphatic system over weeks to months. You dont have incisions or anaesthesia with CoolSculpting. Its meant for body contouring, not weight loss.
