CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is generally well tolerated, and most patients describe the experience as uncomfortable rather than “painful.” During the first few minutes of treatment, you may experience intense cold, pulling, or pressure as the applicator suctions the area. This sensation subsides as the area becomes numb, allowing many patients to relax, read, or even nap during the session.

After treatment, some soreness or tenderness may occur as sensation returns, but this is temporary and usually manageable without medication.

We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas treated during a single visit. We may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals.

You will like what you see. In the weeks and months following your procedure, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and you will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Yes, it can complement non-surgical body contouring treatments (E.g., TruSculpt) or be used alongside skin-tightening procedures (e.g., Reuvion) to improve firmness in treated areas. Some patients also incorporate CoolSculpting into a broader aesthetic plan that includes facial rejuvenation or wellness services.

During the procedure, you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness, or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging,g and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not undergo the CoolSculpting procedure if you have cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not an obesity treatment. As with any medical procedure, ask us whether CoolSculpting is right for you.

Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), your body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

As cooling begins in the first few minutes, you may experience pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptops, or even take a nap during their treatment.

The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, and thigh. With over one million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it has proven safe and effective for non-surgical fat reduction.

Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Often, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session.

No supplements or pills are required, and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew by taking even better care of themselves.

Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you gain weight, it may be distributed evenly across your body rather than just in the treated areas.
