What Is CoolSculpting?
Say farewell to stubborn fat with our soothing CoolSculpting procedure. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure that uses controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, allowing you to resume work and daily activities immediately after.
Once we determine the target area(s), the device is placed on your body and controlled cooling commences. The treatment is so soothing, you can relax by reading, checking emails, or even taking a nap during the treatment.
CoolSculpting technology delivers precisely controlled cooling to effectively target the fat cells under the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen) and subsequently expire. Once the targeted fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good. With time, your body naturally processes the fat and disposes of these dead cells, revealing a more sculpted you.
CoolSculpting produces proven, visible, and enduring results, ensuring you look and feel fantastic from every angle.
Non-invasive- No downtime
- Targeted fat loss
What to Expect
CoolSculpting can treat a patient in 35-60 minutes. During the procedure, most people are comfortable and read, check email, or even take a nap during their treatment.
After the treatment, you are able to resume normal daily activities. Your body will begin to eliminate the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system. Some people notice results within three weeks with maximum results between two to six months.

FAQs
Am I a candidate?
The CoolSculpting procedure is designed for people who want to eliminate fat bulges in specific areas. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution (unlike weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass). People who choose CoolSculpting often want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Good candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have noticeable fat bulges in certain areas.
Will I need supplements?
After your CoolSculpting treatment, no special supplements are required. You won’t need to change any of your lifestyle habits because it’s not a diet and exercise program. Many people do feel more motivated to take good care of themselves after a CoolSculpting treatment. They look better, they feel better, and they want to keep their reshaped body healthy.
Where does the fat go?
The frozen fat cells become crystallized, then die. The dead fat cells then are naturally processed/eliminated by your body. Some patients wonder if the results are permanent. CoolSculpting results are long term because those fat cells, and that fat bulge, are gone for good.
When will I see results?
You may start seeing changes in your body as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment. The most dramatic results are usually visible after 2 months. Several months after your treatment, your body will still continue to flush out fat cells.
