You’ve been following a healthy diet (and compromising on your favorite foods), exercising regularly, and maybe even fasting, all hoping to reduce fat and achieve a body that makes you feel comfortable.
However, no matter how hard you try, and despite all the sacrifices that you’re making, you can’t get rid of stubborn fat deposits. Be it excess belly fat, gynecomastia, love handles, or a double chin, the fatty tissue in some areas won’t budge.
For many of our male patients, no magic exercise routine or healthy diet will get them their ideal male body — not for lack of will or discipline but for factors beyond their control. According to a European study, the number of fat cells an individual’s body has is determined during adolescence and remains stable throughout adulthood. Fluctuations in the size of these fat cells cause weight gain and stubborn fat bulges. This explains why many of us struggle to get rid of excess fat while the excess weight falls off more readily for others.
Thankfully, there is a safe, trouble-free, and effective solution for those of us who have more unwanted fat cells than others — CoolSculpting for men. CoolSculpting is the #1 FDA-cleared non-invasive fat-reduction treatment available; it works by freezing fat cells. During a CoolSculpting procedure, fat cells in targeted areas are frozen and then are naturally eliminated by the body over time.
CoolSculpting for men is a cosmetic procedure that harnesses the benefits of cryolipolysis, a fat-freezing technology used for fat reduction. The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared to target stubborn fat cells in nine different areas of the body, including submental fat for double chins, the abdomen for excess belly fat, the flanks for mitigating love handles, inner and outer thighs, the mid-back/bra line area, the arms or “bat wings,” above the knee and even the roll underneath the buttocks (known as the “banana roll”).
The advent and subsequent explosion of social media platforms and mass-adopted dating platforms have increased the importance of body image for men. The popularity and influence of healthy lifestyle vloggers and diet and exercise gurus are causing heightened male interest in these pursuits.
However, many men find that despite listening to and following the advice of their favorite influencers, they need additional help to achieve the sculpted physique and male body they desire.
CoolSculpting for men stands out as the foremost fat-reduction option because it is non-invasive, fast, area-specific, and requires no recovery time. So, it’s no wonder that as of May 2021, over 11 million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed globally.
CoolSculpting treatments use cryolipolysis to eliminate fat cells in stubborn bulges. A typical CoolSculpting procedure journey at Vinyard Institute of Plastic Surgery (VIPS) starts with establishing a baseline by taking pictures and measuring your weight. The former assists in measuring the body contouring effects, while the latter gives us an indication of the weight you need to maintain throughout the process. Patients must maintain a stable weight over their CoolSculpting sessions for maximum efficacy.
Once a baseline has been established, your CoolSculpting for Men journey can truly begin! Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. William J. Vinyard, MD, FACS, and his team of experts will then delineate the treatment areas afflicted with stubborn fat cells. Your comfort and overall experience are our top priority; we will provide you with pillows, blankets, and refreshments as needed. We recommend bringing your phone, tablet, or a book to kill time during your treatment.
First, a pre-treatment wipe is used for two minutes to prep the skin. A gel pad is placed on your skin to protect it during the fat-freezing treatment. Then, the CoolSculpting device suctions the tissue from the targeted area to freeze and kill fat cells.
CoolSculpting for men generally takes around 35-45 minutes per session, but times may vary according to the size of the areas being treated. Upon completion, the treated area is massaged to increase the procedure’s efficacy, and then your skin is cleaned to remove the treatment gel.
At low temperatures, fat cells freeze and die. For up to 12 weeks, your body will naturally remove the dead fat cells through its lymphatic system, leading to an up to 25% reduction in fat in the treated areas.
CoolSculpting for men reduces pinchable fat in the most common problem areas for stubborn fat cells. These include:
CoolSculpting for men can also mitigate flabby arms, plump thighs, and the notorious “banana rolls” — excess fat stored under one’s buttocks.
We’ve all been at the stage of gradually increasing our T-shirt sizes to try and feel comfortable and confident with our bodies. Each purchase is filled with resentment towards your personal trainer, who swore that your “moobs” would be gone in no time.
Thankfully, there is good news. CoolSculpting effectively achieves a visibly notable fat reduction in the flank and chest areas. This means you can get a sculpted body and Instagram-ready physique quickly and safely!
For many of us, no amount of well-balanced diet and exercise can ever address our pudgy faces. Don’t worry; we know what it feels like to increase your gum-chewing frequency in the hopes of attaining a Henry Cavill-esque jawline. The good news is that your days and nights of ceaseless jaw aches can come to an end with CoolSculpting for men! Its fat removal capabilities are particularly effective at clearing out submental fat.
CoolSculpting is the fat reduction treatment of choice for many of our male patients due to its non-invasive nature and fast recovery. Outside of being able to live your life uninterrupted, you also won’t have to deal with scarred and damaged skin.
Some individuals experience temporary and mild cold, tingling, and numbing sensations as a result of CoolSculpting treatment, this is not cause for concern. These experiences are normal and subside shortly after the procedure is complete.
CoolSculpting kills off stubborn fat cells permanently. Yes, forever. Once your fat cells are frozen, they die off and are eventually removed naturally by your body. As such, CoolSculpting leads to long-lasting, sustainable results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
CoolSculpting is perfect for almost anyone who wants to reduce visible, stubborn fat bulges in a safe, non-invasive, and fast way.
According to CoolSculpting’s website, patients with cryoglobulinemia (i.e., a form of vasculitis), cold agglutinin disease (an autoimmune disorder), and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (a rare blood disorder) should not receive this treatment. Furthermore, CoolSculpting’s site recommends that you inform Dr. Vinyard about recent surgeries, pre-existing hernias, and any known allergies.
