Liposuction or CoolSculpting: Which is better for Your Goals?
When you want to remove unwanted body fat, several medical treatments are available. We are born with fat cells in our bodies. Fat cells contract or expand depending on the extra calories you intake, but do not get burned by the body. When those fat cells are removed from an area, they will not be able to contract or expand as they did before. But, to maintain your preferred physical appearance, diet and exercise are still vital.
There are two most popular medical treatments meant for removing fat cells from the body:
- Fat Freezing, or Clatuu (also known as cryolipolysis), and
- Liposuction
Each has benefits, and depending on your fitness goals, one may be more effective than the other. One is surgical (liposuction) and the other (fat freezing) is known as non-surgical liposuction.
The Similarities
Fat Freezing in New Zealand and liposuction are alike in that they both remove unwanted fat cells from the body, but differently. Both are outpatient procedures, though liposuction may require some downtime and recovery time.
During both treatments, the areas where fat is to be removed are thoroughly measured, evaluated, and targeted. The fat cells are dealt with -- either through suction as with liposuction, or with regulated cooling as with Fat Freezing – affecting permanent changes to the fat cells within the target areas.
Which Treatment Should You Go For?
Before deciding on a treatment, keep some vital questions in mind:
What do you want to achieve?
Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) removes stubborn fat using non-invasive means. If you prefer to avoid scalpels, anaesthesia, and invasive tools and want to remove fat in very localised areas like the outer thighs, this is the way to go. You may check out some Fat Freezing before and after images online. The number of treatments will depend on the area of the body. The results will be most visible within 4-12 weeks after treatment. The treatments available are coolsculpting or clatuu which are both fat freezing treatments.
If you want to remove unwanted fat from larger areas of your body, or you prefer a more dramatic change in body contouring, liposuction may be best for you but as it is a more aggressive choice as it’s surgery, you may want to consider non-surgical liposuction alternatives. Fat freezing can take more time and may need more ‘sessions’ but it causes little to no discomfort or pain and no ‘recovery time. Also, liposuction, understandably, costs more than Fat Freezing prices in New Zealand because it involves a surgical procedure.
It is also worth noting that, if you have read any of the Fat Freezing New Zealand reviews, CoolSculpting or Clatuu fat freezing treatments take as little as 30 minutes per treatment & as mentioned, does not require downtime. With liposuction, you cannot return to your routine for at least a week or so after the surgery.
The best advice when it comes to removing unwanted pockets of fat is to talk to experts who will offer a consultation to help you decide if fat freezing is right for you. Choose a reputable clinic with a great reputation like Body Catalyst for fat freezing in New Zealand.
