CoolSculpting®

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting works by applying controlled cooling to stubborn fat deposits. During treatment, a specialized applicator uses controlled fat freezing to target fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissue. These fat cells are frozen and eventually die off.

Over the course of two to three months, the body naturally eliminates these dead cells through its lymphatic system, leaving you with a more sculpted appearance. Best of all, the treated fat cells are gone for good.

Treatment areas for CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting can target stubborn fat in a variety of areas, helping you feel more confident in your own skin.

Popular treatment areas include:

• Abdomen: Reduce belly fat for a slimmer waistline
• Love handles: Smooth and define your sides
• Double chin: Achieve a more contoured jawline
• Thighs: Target inner or outer thigh fat
• Upper arms: Reduce fat for a more toned appearance
• Back: Address hard-to-reach fat pockets
• Banana roll: Minimize fat under the buttocks

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is designed for individuals who are near their target weight but struggle with specific areas of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Ideal candidates:

• Are close to their ideal weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
• Have pinchable fat in specific areas, such as the abdomen, thighs or upper arms.
• Are looking for a body contouring solution, not a weight-loss treatment.
• Want a non-invasive alternative to surgery with no downtime.
• Have realistic expectations about the results.

What to expect during CoolSculpting treatments

During a CoolSculpting treatment, you’ll experience minimal discomfort while relaxing in a comfortable setting. Here’s what you can expect:

• A gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area to begin the cooling process.
• The controlled cooling targets fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissues.
• Treatments typically take 35-60 minutes per area. During this time, you can read, work or simply relax.
• After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately with no downtime required.

CoolSculpting results and timeline

CoolSculpting delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results that develop gradually as your body processes and eliminates dead fat cells over two to three months. You’ll see visible improvements that enhance your natural contours without looking artificial.

The fat reduction is permanent because once those cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good. Depending on your goals and target areas, your provider may recommend multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

CoolSculpting vs. other fat reduction methods

Here’s how CoolSculpting stands out compared to other options:

• Liposuction: While effective, liposuction is invasive, requires anesthesia and involves significant recovery time. CoolSculpting achieves permanent fat reduction without surgery or downtime.
• Diet and exercise: While essential for overall health, they may not always target stubborn fat. CoolSculpting specifically addresses those hard-to-reach areas.
• Other non-surgical treatments: While available, many alternatives lack the extensive clinical studies and FDA clearance that back CoolSculpting’s safety and effectiveness.

Potential side effects

CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-cleared procedure with millions of successful treatments performed globally. As with any cosmetic treatment, some temporary side effects may occur. These include:

• Redness and swelling: These effects typically resolve within days.
• Bruising: A common side effect that fades naturally.
• Numbness or tingling: Temporary sensations that disappear over time.
• Mild discomfort: Generally well-tolerated and short-lived.

Serious complications are rare, and our experienced providers prioritize your safety throughout the entire process.
