PHYSIQ® Body Contouring vs. Coolsculpting – Which is the Best Option?
We all want to look our best and keep our bodies youthful and healthy. But diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyles are not enough for some of us to eliminate stubborn fat deposits.
That is where aesthetic technology steps in to help us along our quest to achieve the perfect body.
What is Body Sculpting?
Much like sculptors chip away at marble blocks to create beautiful works of art, body sculpting treatments permanently eliminate localized fat cells to create a slimmer, more sculptured physique.
Body sculpting is ideal for men and women who already follow active and healthy lifestyles but struggle with isolated fat deposits that diet and exercise can’t eliminate.
There are different types of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic fat-reducing treatments. PHYSIQ® (Warm) Body Contouring and Coolsculpting are two leading non-surgical body sculpting treatments.
These non-invasive cosmetic treatments help permanently eliminate stubborn subcutaneous fat cells quickly, offering similar or superior results to surgical procedures like liposuction without the associated risks, scarring, and downtime.
If you are considering non-surgical body contouring, you are probably curious about which treatment option best suits your needs and goals. Let’s compare the treatments to explain which one offers the best results.
What is Coolsculpting?
Coolsculpting delivers controlled, targeted low temperatures to fat cells beneath the skin. The cold temperatures crystalize the fat cells causing them to die. The body then clears the dead cells through its natural detoxification processes.
The treatment uses a single applicator that sucks fatty tissue between two cooling plates that deliver controlled cooling. Due to the sucking mechanism, patients may experience an uncomfortable tugging, pulling, or numbing sensation and bruising or swelling.
Additionally, in rare cases, patients may develop irregular dips or ripples in the skin or a condition known as Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), where rather than decreasing fatty tissue, Coolsculpting triggers an increase of fat cells in the treated area.
Depending on the treatment area, sessions typically last 35-60 minutes, which may be inconvenient for some patients with a busy schedule.
What is PHYSIQ® (Warm) Body Contouring?
PHYSIQ® body contouring uses cutting-edge technology that combines heat and energy to reduce fat and tone muscles simultaneously, providing exceptionally natural-looking results with no downtime.
Additionally, thanks to PHYSIQ®’s versatile design, it can treat small or hard-to-reach areas and larger zones. And because the device uses up to four applicators, it can also work on multiple body parts at once.
The procedure doesn’t require messy gels or lotions. Instead, bands secure the applicators to the skin, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the session.
Each session lasts 15-30 minutes and doesn’t involve any downtime, making them easy to include in your busy schedule.
Unlike Coolsculpting, there is no discomfort during or after the treatment and no risk of bruising.
Bottom Line
At Skin 105, we recommend PHYSIQ® body contouring over other sculpting treatments because it offers better results, less discomfort, and fewer adverse effects, thanks to its unique technology.
PHYSIQ® is the only device in the market that uses STEP technology (Sequential Thermal and Electrical Pulse).
In a single session of PHYSIQ® body contouring, the device delivers deep heat to targeted fatty tissue and muscle stimulation to re-educate your muscle, effectively reducing fat deposits and toning your muscles for long-lasting, more natural-looking results.
