Does Coolsculpting get rid of or change the amount of fat cells on your body?

QUESTION

Does Coolsculpting get rid of or change the number of fat cells on your body?

ANSWER BY DR. GERRISH

As adults, the total number of fat cells is fixed and we are not able to create new fat cells unless we become morbidly obese. With CoolSculpting the treated fats cells are destroyed permanently. Since CoolSculpting has reduced the number of fat cells and we are not able to create new ones, the total number of fat cells in the body will be permanently reduced.
