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