What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and reduce stubborn areas of fat on the body. It is designed to contour the body by freezing and destroying fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.

​

How does CoolSculpting work? CoolSculpting works by exposing fat cells to precise cooling temperatures that cause them to crystallize and break down. The body's natural processes then eliminate these damaged fat cells gradually, leading to a reduction in the treated area's fat layer.

 

Is CoolSculpting safe? CoolSculpting is generally considered safe when performed by trained and qualified medical professionals. It is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime. However, potential risks and side effects include temporary numbness, bruising, redness, swelling, and, in rare cases, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (an increase in fat cells). Consulting with a medical professional before undergoing the procedure is important.

​

Who can perform CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting should be performed by licensed medical professionals or trained technicians under the supervision of a medical provider.

​

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting can target various areas of the body where stubborn fat accumulates, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, upper arms, chin, and back.

​

How long does a CoolSculpting session take? A CoolSculpting session typically takes around 35 to 60 minutes per treated area. Multiple areas can be treated during a single session.

​

Is CoolSculpting a weight loss treatment? No, CoolSculpting is not intended for weight loss. It is designed for body contouring and reducing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are typically close to their target weight but have specific areas of concern.

​

When will I see CoolSculpting results? Results from CoolSculpting are not immediate. It takes time for the body to naturally eliminate the treated fat cells. Visible results may begin to show after a few weeks, with more noticeable improvements over a period of two to three months.

​

How many CoolSculpting sessions are needed? The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual's goals and the treated areas. Some individuals achieve their desired results after a single session, while others may benefit from multiple sessions spaced a few months apart.

​

Is CoolSculpting permanent? The fat cells destroyed through CoolSculpting are eliminated from the body, resulting in long-lasting reductions in the treated areas. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is important to prevent the growth of remaining fat cells.

​

Is CoolSculpting painful? During the procedure, you may initially experience sensations of cold and pressure, but these typically subside as the area becomes numb. Afterward, as the treatment area warms up, you might experience mild discomfort or tingling. Many patients find the procedure to be tolerable.

​

Is there any downtime after CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Some patients might experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, but these effects generally subside within a few days.

Before undergoing CoolSculpting, it's important to have a consultation with a qualified medical professional to determine if you are a suitable candidate, discuss your goals, and understand the potential benefits and risks of the procedure
