Still Have Questions?
What is CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a fat-freezing procedure that destroys fat cells in different parts of the body to reshape and contour your body image. This non-invasive procedure eliminates stubborn pockets of fat using cryolipolysis, which freezes away your fat cells. Our team is highly skilled in performing CoolSculpting® treatments on many parts of the body so you can enjoy a slimmer, more contoured you.
Who is an ideal candidate?
Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting® are at or near their ideal body weight but want to reduce stubborn fat deposits. This procedure is best suited for individuals that have a healthy lifestyle consisting of good nutrition and regular exercise.
Unlike weight-loss surgery such as liposuction or gastric bypass, CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss solution for people who are looking to resolve significant amounts of body fat (such as obesity). A consultation with one of our CoolSculpting® practitioners will determine if this procedure is right for you.
How do I prepare for a CoolSculpting® treatment?
There is minimal preparation for CoolSculpting® treatments. A few days before your treatment, you will want to avoid medications or supplements that can thin the blood such as fish oil, aspirin, and ibuprofen. Be aware of some blood-thinning herbal supplements like ginger and turmeric. Taking a blood thinner prior to your treatment can increase the risk of bruising.
What can I expect during a CoolSculpting® treatment session?
During your CoolSculpting® procedure, the treatment area will be prepared with a protective gel pad. The applicator is then placed on your body, creating a gentle suction to target the fat. You may feel sensations such as intense cold, tingling, slight aching, or cramping, which usually subside within a few minutes. Most patients relax, read, or use their devices during the treatment. After the session, the applicator is removed, and the treated area is briefly massaged to help optimize results.
Is there any downtime?
The CoolSculpting® procedure is completely non-surgical and generally warrants little to no downtime. Most patients tend to return to their normal activities, including work, after the treatment.
