CoolSculpting

What It Is

CoolSculpting is the world's #1 FDA-cleared non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology (cryolipolysis) to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery, needles, or downtime. The procedure targets fat cells beneath the skin, cooling them to a temperature that triggers their natural death, while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. Over the following weeks and months, the body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area. Results are permanent as destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate.

How CoolSculpting Works

1

Applicator Placement

Gel pad and applicator placed on treatment area. Vacuum suction draws tissue into applicator cup

2

Controlled Cooling

Precise cooling technology targets fat cells at -11°C to -5°C without damaging skin or other tissues

3

Fat Cell Crystallization

Fat cells crystallize and undergo apoptosis (natural cell death) over 35-60 minutes

4

Natural Elimination

Body naturally processes dead fat cells through lymphatic system over 1-3 months

Treatment Time

35-60 minutes per area (cycle)

Downtime

None - return to work/activities immediately

What to Expect

Before: Consultation and body assessment. Treatment areas marked. Photos taken for before/after comparison

During: Initial intense cold sensation (5-10 min) then numbness as area cools. Many patients read, work on laptop, or relax during treatment. Minimal to no discomfort

After: Brief massage to break up frozen tissue. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, or numbness may occur. All resolve within days to weeks. Resume normal activities immediately

Results: Gradual fat reduction visible in 3 weeks. Dramatic results at 2-3 months as body eliminates dead fat cells. Some patients do additional cycles for enhanced results

Expected Results

  • Fat Reduction: 20-25% fat layer reduction per treatment cycle
  • Timeline: Visible changes in 3 weeks, full results in 2-3 months
  • Permanence: Results are permanent - destroyed fat cells don't regenerate
