For many, the appearance of the underarm area can be a source of discomfort and selfconsciousness, particularly when considering traditional invasive procedures like arm lifts, which
often result in significant scarring. However, advances in non-invasive fat reduction technologies
offer new possibilities. CoolSculpting, particularly the CoolSculpting Elite, now available at Dr. Anil Shah’s clinics in River North and Winnetka, provides a compelling alternative with
promising results and no need for surgery. CoolSculpting: A Scientific Approach to Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting is a revolutionary fat-freezing technology that targets and cools unwanted fat cells
in the underarm area to induce a process known as cryolipolysis. Over time, treated fat cells
crystallize (freeze), die, and are naturally processed and eliminated by the body. One of the key
advantages of CoolSculpting in the underarm area is that it can reduce about 25% of fat without
the invasiveness of an arm lift.
A clinical study by Krueger, N., et al., published in Dermatologic Surgery (2014), investigated
the effectiveness of cryolipolysis for the reduction of arm fat and found that patients experienced
noticeable fat reduction and an improved arm contour. The study reported high patient
satisfaction rates due to minimal downtime and the absence of scars — a stark contrast to the
outcomes associated with traditional arm lifts.
Benefits of CoolSculpting Over Traditional Arm Lifts
Non-Invasive with No Scarring: Unlike arm lifts that require incisions, CoolSculpting is
completely non-invasive. There are no needles, no surgeries, and most importantly, no scars.
This aspect is particularly appealing to those who want to avoid the lengthy recovery times and
potential complications associated with surgical procedures.
Minimal Downtime: Patients can literally have a CoolSculpting session and return to their
daily activities immediately, including working out on the same day. This lack of downtime is a
significant benefit for those leading active, busy lives.
Feminine Contouring: For female patients, CoolSculpting can help achieve a more tapered,
feminine appearance of the arms, enhancing muscle definition and overall arm shape without
the bulkiness caused by excess fat.
