The Fat - Reduction Science

What is CoolSculpting?

To understand how CoolSculpting® works, you first need to know how body fat works.

We all have a set amount of fat cells—when we gain weight
it’s because those fat cells are expanding in size.

Some individuals may have stubborn pockets of fat that are
more difficult to reduce despite diet and exercise.

Because we all carry fat in different areas of our bodies,
not everyone will see this excess in the same areas of our bodies.

Its technical name is cryolipolysis, 

which is just a science-y way to say fat freezing. Our experts spent years developing the treatment, which features one-of-a-kind technology that quite literally freezes and kills fat cells.

CoolSculpting®‘s fat-freezing technology 

gives long-term results that make trouble spots a lot less troubling.* Fat cells don’t like the cold and at a certain temperature they will freeze. Once that happens, your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells in 2-6 months or more, resulting in up to 20%-25% reduction of fat in a treated area.

*Long term results are based on 2 case reports.

For women and men with healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle,

cryolipolysis is a safe and effective way to reduce excess fat. CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss treatment. CoolSculpting® is for patients at or near their ideal body weight and want to reduce fat in one or more of the 9 FDA cleared treatment areas.

Complete Patient Care

What to expect

If your doctor determines you are a candidate for CoolSculpting®, they will work with you to discuss those problem areas and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your body.

READY

Your provider will apply a clear gel pad to the treatment area. This provides a barrier between the cooling panel and your skin. Clinical trials have demonstrated CoolSculpting®to be safe and effective in reducing fat in certain areas.

SET

You’ll feel a slight sucking sensation as the applicator adheres to your body. You may experience pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, stinging, and aching at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb.

RELAX

During the treatment you will be able to read, answer emails, or chat with a friend while it works. After the applicator is detached, your provider will do a brief massage on the area to break up the treated fat cells and enhance the fat reduction. That’s it!

One treatment with CoolSculpting® reduces up to 20-25% of fat cells in the treated area.

You may need more than one treatment to reach your desired results and get the most out of your CoolSculpting® experience.
