Looking for an effective, no-downtime approach to getting rid of stubborn fat? Coolsculpting may be your answer. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment that eliminates stubborn and unwanted fat cells without downtime, surgery, or needles. The process targets fat through controlled cooling that kills fat cells which the body then breaks down and excretes through the lymphatic system over several weeks. The results are clinically proven to be long lasting and each treatment plan is customized to each individual’s body and area of concern.
Get The Facts
Coolsculpting works by causing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the subcutaneous fat tissue through cryolipolysis. The cells are processed through the lymphatic system naturally and excreted over several weeks. Coolsculpting will target fat cells without damaging any other structures such as skin, blood vessels, or organs. CoolSculpting can reduce the number of fat cells with multiple treatments by up to 27%, and a minimum of 2 treatments are necessary as a starting point per area. A thorough consultation is required to determine if you are a true candidate to treat your stubborn area.

No. Coolsculpting eliminates fat cells in a targeted area, reducing the volume in the treatment area, but it does not cause overall body weight loss.
A minimum of 2 sessions per area is a general starting point, but it can depend on each patient’s body and goals. Each treatment will be scheduled months apart to give enough time for the body to heal and react naturally to the procedure.
There is minimal recovery time required after a Coolsculpting procedure. There may be minor redness, tenderness, cramping, soreness, or swelling in the treated area but it usually subsides within a few days.
Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure, also known as cryolipolysis that works by freezing fat cells under the skin. Liposuction is a surgical procedure, it is performed under anesthesia and requires several days of recovery time.
The results are permanent as the fat cells are permanently destroyed and eliminated by the body, however, new and remaining fat cells can develop and/or enlarge if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained.
Each treatment session can last about 30-60 minutes.
