You may not be familiar with this treatment, so we are here to walk you through it. If you want to see results first-hand, we have a gallery full of CoolSculpting before and after pictures. Browse through them, and feel free to contact us for more information on how you can obtain your own CoolSculpting results.

What Exactly is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting can get rid of stubborn fat without surgery. It is non-invasive and highly effective at contouring your body and tightening your skin. It uses a fat-freezing technique known as cryolipolysis. CoolSculpting reviews are always positive, and patients enjoy the long-lasting results it offers. CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for use on the following parts of your body:

  • Abdomen
  • Hips
  • Love-handles
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Bra rolls
  • Back fat
  • Upper arm
  • Under the buttocks (banana rolls)
  • Double Chin

How Does CoolSculpting Remove Stubborn Fat?

We use cryolipolysis to permanently freeze and destroy the fat cells under your skin. The extremely cold temperature will not damage the rest of your skin tissue since fat cells break down at a higher temperature. This makes it a low-risk treatment to remove fat deposits. Once your fat cells are frozen, they will die and get flushed out of your body via your metabolism. This happens naturally. Once the fat cells have been removed, you will be able to see noticeable results. CoolSculpting results are permanent. Once your fat cells are destroyed and removed, they cannot return. This means that you have fewer fat cells to store fat. Of course, you still have to maintain a healthy lifestyle to experience ideal results. 

CoolSculpting Results

Unlike some surgical procedures, CoolSculpting results are not immediate. You will have to wait about 4 weeks for the results to become apparent, and 2-3 months for the final outcome. This is an estimated timeframe, but it can be different for each patient. If you would like to have a toned body for summer, it would be a good idea to begin your CoolSculpting treatments during winter. If you have an event coming up, plan your CoolSculpting sessions accordingly to be ready in time. You may want to see an instant change in your body, but the results are well worth the wait.

The Benefits of CoolSculpting

There are many non-surgical ways to remove fat. You may not know which one is best for you. CoolSculpting has unique benefits. It can offer results that some other fat-removing treatments can’t. If you aren’t ready to take on the lengthy recovery period that comes with surgery, CoolSculpting is perfect for you. It requires no downtime and is minimally invasive. We won’t use incisions to reach the fat cells. The CoolSculpting device was designed to reach your fat cells without being invasive. This means that it is a pain-free treatment that does not require anesthesia. CoolSculpting is far cheaper and quicker than any surgical fat-removing procedure. You also don’t have to worry about scarring and complicated healing instructions.

Patients have described the CoolSculpting treatment as relaxing and pain-free. You can even bring a book to pass the time while the device works its magic. Since there is no downtime, you don’t need to take leave from work or other important tasks. Depending on how long your session is, you can even go back to work after your treatment. The best part of CoolSculpting is that it is permanent. Once we destroy your fat cells, they won’t be back to disturb you again.

What is the CoolSculpting Procedure Like?

We are here to explain the process of CoolSculpting so you can be comfortable with it. When you come to us for CoolSculpting, we will use the CoolSculpting applicator to freeze your fat cells in the desired area. After the fat-freezing stage is complete, so is the treatment. All that is left to do is wait for the fat cells to be removed from your body via your metabolism.

How Long Does CoolSculpting Take?

The time it takes to complete a CoolSculpting session depends on the area we are treating, and the number of areas being treated. Of course, CoolSculpting your belly and thighs will take longer than small areas like your chin. A session can even take 35 minutes. It is different for every patient. 

Ideal Candidates for CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is suitable for most people that want to reduce stubborn fat. It is highly effective and is a low-risk procedure. However, it is best to be at your ideal body weight before using CoolSculpting. This will ensure the best results.

Note: CoolSculpting is Not a Weight Loss Alternative

Many patients think CoolSculpting will help them lose weight, but this is untrue. CoolSculpting cannot replace regular exercise and a healthy diet. It simply destroys stubborn fat cells that a healthy lifestyle can’t remove. We recommend that you keep maintaining your weight to enjoy long-lasting results.
