CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses advanced fat-freezing technology to target stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The treatment works through a process called cryolipolysis, which applies controlled cooling to fat cells — causing them to break down while leaving surrounding skin and tissue unharmed.
Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted, contoured appearance without surgery or downtime.
Chin, abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, bra line, upper arms, and other stubborn fat pockets
35–75 minutes per treatment cycle (depending on area treated)
Gradual improvement; visible changes often begin within 1–3 months
Permanent fat cell reduction in treated areas once results are achieved
No downtime — patients return to normal activities immediately. There can be swelling and tenderness in the treated areas temporarily
Ideal for individuals close to their goal weight who want to reduce stubborn fat; not a weight-loss treatment

Is CoolSculpting® a weight-loss treatment?
No. CoolSculpting® is designed for fat reduction and body contouring, not weight loss.
Are results permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not return. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies depending on the area treated and your goals. Some patients need one session, while others benefit from multiple treatments.
Is CoolSculpting® painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Sensations typically include cold, pressure, and temporary numbness during treatment.

CoolSculpting® is an innovative body contouring treatment that uses fat-freezing technology to target stubborn pockets of fat without surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting works by applying controlled cooling to break down fat cells, which are more susceptible to temperature changes than other types of cells, in a process called cryolipolysis.
In the weeks following treatment, the frozen fat cells are eliminated by the body’s own natural processes, without any harm to surrounding tissue or skin. The best part? Once the treated fat cells are eliminated from the body, they’re gone for good!
