HAPPENING NOW:

Freezing fat away

Share this story...

Canadian and U.S. plastic surgeons are using a new method to reduce body fat. It’s considered an alternative to liposuction involving no needles or recovery time.

It’s called coolsculpting. It’s a procedure that freezes fat cells until they die. The process can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, and cuts down on fat beneath the skin. Over the span of 2 to 4 months after treatment, the body naturally disposes of the dead cells. A new study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons has deemed the method effective.
