As a busy mom who has to juggle kids, family, and career or a new mom who is learning to carry out the responsibilities of motherhood without dropping dead, why should you learn about CoolSculpting instead of looking up mom-hacks (quick, easy fixes for moms-on-the go) ? Because you hate your muffin top and jiggling thighs and want to get back the youthful figure of your pre-baby days. Because you want to rock in that LBD once again without worrying if your pregnancy weight is showing through. But most importantly, you don’t want to be gassed and cut open. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that mommies in New York are grateful to for giving them back their pre-pregnancy bodies without making them go through the hassles of a surgery.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure developed by the scientists at Harvard University and has been approved by the FDA. It is new but you needn’t fear it because it is absolutely safe.
Here’s how CoolSculpting works.
Our cells die when they are exposed to very cold (read: freezing) temperatures. During CoolSculpting, the fat cells of a precisely targeted area are “frozen to death” without harming the cells, tissues, muscles, and nerves nearby. The body absorbs the dead cells over a period of 3-4 months. Studies have shown that CoolSculpting can reduce fat by up to 25 percent in the targeted area.
The whole procedure takes about an hour. It is painless, partly because no incisions are made and partly because the cold temperatures numb any sensation of pain. You will just feel like an ice pack is being pressed against your skin.
What to Expect After CoolSculpting
Some women may notice redness or experience tenderness in the area, but these usually go away on their own within a few hours. There might also be some bruising and numbness, but these too resolve on their own within a few weeks after the procedure.

Why is CoolSculpting Ideal for Mommies?
Right now, CoolSculpting is the only non-invasive procedure that can help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies.
The idea of being cut open, prodded into, and poked around is scary. Mums have surgery scares too and more so, if they have undergone a C-section and the experience was stressful. In fact, such is the fear of invasive cosmetic procedures that many mommies choose not to go under the knife and instead remain dissatisfied with their post-pregnancy bodies.
But there are other reasons why CoolSculpting is especially ideal for mommies.
Both new mothers and women who have given birth earlier are hard-pressed for time. They don’t have the days, hours, and weeks to spare to accommodate a post-surgical downtime and then waste more time and effort managing unpleasant side effects. With no downtime at all, CoolSculpting lets mommies get back on their feet and return to their lives as soon as they leave the doctor’s office. They don’t have to worry about side effects as well.
Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, it is not carried out under anesthesia. Mommies have been known to work on their laptops and tablets, catch up on reading, and talk over the phone while the procedure is underway.
CoolSculpting is a quick, painless, effective way to melt the pounds you may have gained during pregnancy. This non-invasive procedure is safe and is especially convenient for a busy NY mum who is scared to go under the knife and also doesn’t want to go through the inconveniences of an invasive procedure—the downtime, the side effects, and the post-surgical weakness that can prevent her from taking care of her family. Although it is the most glorious period in a woman’s life, pregnancy may also wreak havoc on the body. You deserve a hassle-free mommy makeover for going through the stresses gracefully.
