Is CoolSculpting® right for me?
CoolSculpting® could be the answer if you’re struggling with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to dieting and exercise. This non-invasive method eliminates the need for surgery and a lengthy recovery, making it a convenient and effective option. To get the best results, it’s recommended to be at or near your ideal weight before starting treatment. CoolSculpting® is designed for targeted fat reduction rather than overall weight loss.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting® is a unique procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells beneath the skin. This process, known as cryolipolysis, safely crystallizes and destroys fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. The result is a more toned and sculpted appearance. After the treatment, your body will naturally dispose of the dead fat cells, reducing up to 20-25% of stubborn fat in the treated area.
Benefits of CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® offers a safe, non-surgical way to eliminate unwanted fat from stubborn areas. This innovative fat-freezing procedure targets and effectively reduces fat cells without harming your skin or surrounding tissues. It requires no anesthesia and has been proven clinically to achieve up to a 25% reduction in fat cells in treated areas. The treatment is virtually painless and non-invasive, without incisions or needles. Best of all, the results are permanent—once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good, leaving your skin untouched and unharmed.
What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive FDA-cleared fat reduction treatment for men and women. It safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected. Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. *Individual Results May Vary*

Before, During, and After
What to Expect Before CoolSculpting®
Before your CoolSculpting® procedure, you’ll have a consultation with one of our Certified Advanced Estheticians. We will discuss your goals and clarify any questions or concerns about the treatment. Our expert will also provide personalized recommendations and thoroughly assess the areas that can be treated to ensure they align with your goals.
What to Expect During CoolSculpting®
Our certified technicians will carefully place the CoolSculpting® applicator on the targeted areas of your body. During the treatment, you might feel a gentle tugging or pinching sensation, which is generally well-tolerated and comfortable. The length of your session will depend on how many areas are being treated.
What to Expect After CoolSculpting®
After the fat cells are frozen, they shrink and are gradually eliminated from the body through apoptosis. You will notice a slimmer appearance in the treated areas within a month. Full results typically manifest after about three months, revealing a more contoured shape.
It’s normal to experience temporary side effects such as redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, itching, or tingling in the treated area. Generally, patients see a 20% to 25% reduction in fat in each targeted area with CoolSculpting®. While the results are long-lasting, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to preserve the contoured results.
Other Popular Procedures
Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, enhances breast appearance by removing excess skin and firming the surrounding tissue. This surgical procedure results in perkier, fuller-looking breasts with a youthful contour.
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction, often called "lipo" by patients, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific body areas. It targets regions such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks, particularly where diet and exercise have failed to achieve desired results.
KYBELLA™
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable medication designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It's a non-surgical alternative to liposuction that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid—a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. KYBELLA® works by destroying fat cells under the chin, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, eliminating the need for further treatment after achieving your desired look.
Halo™ Laser Treatment
HALO™ Laser, a cutting-edge treatment, gives you flawless and radiant skin. By merging the advantages of both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies, this laser targets various skin issues such as wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. The HALO™ Laser stimulates collagen production resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should one prepare for CoolSculpting®?
To ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects during your CoolSculpting® treatment, follow these steps:
- Discontinue Certain Medications:
- Stop taking vitamin E, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs at least five days before your procedure. These medications can increase the risk of bruising.
- Avoid Sun Exposure:
- Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for a few weeks before treatment. This helps reduce sensitivity in the area that will be treated.
When will I see the results of CoolSculpting®?
While some enhancements might be noticeable after a month, most people see visible improvements and significant benefits within one to three months.
Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is generally a well-tolerated treatment with minimal discomfort. In the short term, you might experience mild itching or tingling around the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few days. Although rare, some patients may notice bruising or swelling, which should resolve quickly with proper post-treatment care.
WIll a CoolSculpting® leave a visable scar?
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve incisions or skin punctures. As a result, there should be no visible scar left behind. The treatment uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific body areas. This process does not damage the surrounding skin; therefore, no scarring occurs.
Is there any discomfort during or after CoolSculpting® treatment?
During CoolSculpting® treatment, you might experience some pulling, tugging, stinging, tingling, or cold sensations. These feelings will gradually diminish as the treatment area becomes numb. There is zero downtime, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session. You may encounter mild swelling or bruising, but these effects resolve quickly.
