Coolsculpting
With CoolSculpting® technology, patients see up to 20%-25% reduction of fat in a treated area over time.*
*Long term results are based on two case reports.
Say Goodbye to stubborn areas.
Stubborn areas of fat may be harder to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Freezing the fat cells causes them to die, and then the body sheds these cells in the following weeks.
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with back fat, bra rolls, underneath the buttocks, and the upper arm.
The fat cells are eliminated permanently. After your treatment, you may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks later, and will experience the most dramatic results after 2 months.
Treatment in 35-60 minutes.
No downtime.
CoolSculpting Cycles
With CoolSculpting, one cycle = applying the applicator to the targeted area. For example, four cycles of CoolSculpting refers to four applications of the applicator in order to obtained desired results. The number of applications/cycles needed for each area depends on the patient and their expectations.
- Abdomen (most requested area and requires the most cycles to achieve results): generally between 2-4 applications depending on the size of the abdomen and the area of concern. May require 2-3 treatments for optimal correction with a 25-30% fat reduction per session.
- Banana roll, inner thigh, outer thigh, distal thigh: one application/cycle per each thigh (2 cycles/session) and may require 2-3 treatments
- Bra fat: one application/cycle per back for each side (2 cycles/session); may require 2-3 treatments
- Flanks: one application/cycle per back for each side (2 cycles/session); may require 2-3 treatments
- Submental area: one application/cycle (usually does not need more than two applications and of course, it depends on how big the chin area is); 1-2 treatments generally
- Upper arm: one application/cycle per back for each side (2 cycles/session); may require 2-3 treatments
What to Expect
- A clear gel pad is used as a barrier between the cooling panel and your skin.
- During the treatment, you may feel tugging, intense cold, tingling, or other symptoms at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb.
- Feel free to answer messages on your phone or read during the treatment.
- After the treatment, your provider gently massages the area to break up the targeted fat cells.
What Comes Next
- There is little to no downtime after treatment. Many patients return to work the same day.
- You can see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after treatment.
- Fat cells will continue to be eliminated up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
- There is no diet or exercise program to follow, but many patients feel motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle after seeing results.
