Hello fellow beauty lovers.
It is said that if you used to regularly suck on popsicles as a kid, you’d grow up having dimples because the ice killed off most of the fat cells in the cheeks. What? I’ve always secretly wanted to have dimples and now I find out all it took was sucking on ice? I am so gutted right now. That’s probably not what the two doctors from Harvard, who play a key role in my article today thought when hearing about this fun fact. Instead of sulking around about non-existent dimples, they came up with something useful: CoolSculpting. Based on the same theory behind the development of dimples, the beauty treatment can be used to remove fat without a scalpel unlike liposuction. The device that’s being used is freezing the fat cells that lie directly below it. Once they’re in a frozen state, the fat cells naturally drain out of your body. Although the results only show up after 6 – 12 weeks it is proven that you can lose half an inch from your waistline in a sitting of one hour. It’s also possible to get the same area treated multiple times.
Well, that doesn’t sound so bad. If it weren’t for the pain. Just imagine it: You’re sitting in that chair whilst a machine sucks on you like mad, really really mad. A journalist from the Austrian magazine Krone.at actually tried it out and reported a “burning sensation”. The aftermath actually sounds even more horrifying. 6 hours after the treatment the test person claimed that her or his belly tissue was unusual hard and the skin turned blue. You could basically ban tight clothes from the agenda for the next month because the region would be extra sensitive. Well, it goes without emphasizing this very true proverb, but I’ll say it anyway: “You have to suffer to be beautiful.”
Now, clean eating and cardio don’t sound that bad, huh?
Yours truly,
Lana Hoang
