How to Get Rid of Your “FUPA” with the Help of CoolSculpting
Have you tried everything to get rid of that pesky fat that sits on the upper part of your pubic area without seeing significant results? Are you interested in getting rid of that unwanted “thickness” without resorting to invasive and painful procedures? You aren’t alone. Many people struggle with losing their “FUPA,” even after dieting, regular exercise, and weight loss in other areas of their bodies. Even Beyoncé famously talked about this having this problem after giving birth to her twins. And while Beyoncé talked about embracing her FUPA, not everyone’s journey toward achieving body positivity is the same.
It is important to know your options when it comes to getting rid of your FUPA and what options are right for you. Beauty Collective in Reno, NV has been providing CoolSculpting treatments to Reno and Lake Tahoe Residents for years! In this post, you will learn what a FUPA is and how CoolSculpting from The Beauty Collective can help effectively reduce and even eliminate it!
What is “FUPA”?
Medically known as a Panniculus, FUPA is an acronym for “Fat Upper Pubic Area”, consisting of excess fat in the lower stomach and upper pubic area. While this can occur in both men and women it is much more common in women, especially women who have given birth. This area of fat can persist even after significant weight loss and can be very difficult to get rid of. There are a number of causes for FUPA including:
Hormones: Hormones help regulate most bodily functions like metabolism, hunger, sex drive, and weight gain. A deficiency or excess in certain hormones, especially estrogen, can result in an increase in weight gain, specifically in the lower abdominal area.
Genes: Along with all other physical traits, the predisposed likelihood of developing FUPA can be a direct result of genetic traits.
Rapid Weight Loss/Gain: Rapid weight loss is a significant contributor to FUPA as excess skin can linger in the upper pubic region. Pregnancy is a major contributor to FUPA because of the drastic amount of weight fluctuation that occurs. Additionally, women who have had a C-Section are at an increased risk for this condition.
Having a small amount of fat in the lower abdomen/upper pubic region is normal, but an excess of fat in this region can lead to low self-esteem, increased stress on your joints and lower back, and can also negatively impact your sex life, making intimacy awkward and uncomfortable.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that helps eliminate excess fat cells underneath your skin. Also known as Cryolipolysis, CoolScultping is FDA approved and uses fat-freezing technology to provide you with long-lasting results for your most stubborn problem areas.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting works by freezing and killing your fat cells. Fat cells are more affected by cold temperatures than other cells of your body meaning that surrounding tissues will not be affected by this procedure. This makes CoolSculpting one of the safest methods of getting rid of stubborn, fatty tissue.
Is CoolSculpting Painful?
NO! During your procedure, a trained certified provider will place the skin of your lower abdomen between two cooling panels that cool your fat cells to a freezing temperature. Most people simply report feeling a cool sensation in their targeted area.
How Long Does CoolSculpting Results Last?
While most people see positive results after just one treatment, two to three treatments may be necessary to achieve your ultimate goal of getting rid of your FUPA entirely. After receiving your recommended number of treatments, CoolSculpting results can last indefinitely. This is because once CoolSculpting kills off fat cells, they do not come back. But if you gain weight after your CoolSculpting treatment, you may gain fat back in the treated area or areas.
Why Should You Choose CoolSculpting?
Because it’s the safest method! Period. While there are a number of options out there that promise long-lasting results when it comes to getting rid of your FUPA for good, many of them come with painful procedures and possible long-term side effects. Additionally, most surgical options come with significant recovery time. CoolSculpting is non-invasive, pain-free, and has a proven history of success.
