What Is CoolSculpting?
In the past, liposuction was the only option for body contouring. Today, there’s a new non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment called CoolSculpting that helps eliminate stubborn fat without surgery.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting freezes targeted fat cells, causing them to die. Over several months, your body naturally processes and removes these fat cells, resulting in a slimmer appearance.
Request an AppointmentAm I a Candidate for CoolSculpting?
Ideal candidates are generally healthy, at a stable weight, and have small areas of unwanted fat. Good candidates do not smoke, are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Your physician will evaluate your suitability during your initial consultation.
What Does CoolSculpting Feel Like?
During treatment, many patients feel a strong cooling sensation followed by a suction-like pull. Some may experience mild discomfort or pain, but most find the procedure tolerable.
How Should I Prepare for CoolSculpting?
Preparation is simple. We recommend quitting smoking several weeks before treatment and avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours prior to your session.
Benefits of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting delivers consistent, permanent fat reduction results without surgery or downtime. Since it destroys fat cells, the fat is eliminated for good.
Treatment Duration and Sessions Needed
Each session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. Typically, about 25-30% of fat in the targeted area is affected per session, so multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
What If I Gain Weight Later?
While CoolSculpting permanently removes fat cells, future weight gain can affect your results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is important. If weight returns, additional treatments can be discussed during a follow-up appointment.
