Have you been struggling to loose those areas of stubborn fat and no amount of exercise or diet is helping?
Cosmex is able to provide two competing treatments that can help. Both are effective and both have their advantages. We will be happy to discuss these with you during your consultation.
Coolsculpt is the leading cryolipolysis (fat freezing) approach
Stratum Reveal is an alternative that uses a combination of cooling and low power lasers to break down the fat. It is particularly advantageous when treating thinner layers for fat for those seeking the optimum profile.
Frequently Asked Question
How do I know which is the best treatment for me
During your consultation your nurse/therapist will discuss the options with you and enable you to make an informed decision about what is the best treatment for your needs.
Are the treatments safe
The short answer is yes. The Coolsculpt machine is the market leading fat freezing machine type and has an excellent safety record. The technology used in the Stratum Reveal has fewer potential side effects than fat freezing. Again this will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation and we will take a conservative approach to your treatment to ensure optimum safety.
Are the treatments painful
Both treatments are generally well tolerated but do entail some discomfort.
Will the treatments cause weight loss
Not directly. Both Coolsculpt and the Stratum Reveal break down fat in the treated areas and will generally result in around 23% fat reduction in the treated volume. What is happening is that fat cells in the treated area are being broken down and the lipids (fat) they contain are released. The cell material is then removed by the body and the lipids are either used to power the body if you are dieting/exercising. If not then they will be redistributed to other areas of the body but since the treated area now has fewer cells the fat will not tend to accumulate in the treated volume. Hence better body contours.
However, Body Contouring can be very useful as part of a weight loss programme as it helps to provide very visible results that encourages patients to continue with their weight loss. We will be very happy to discuss this aspect with you during your consultation.
