What is Cool Sculpting?

CoolSculpting® is completely nonsurgical, involves little to no downtime, and is FDA cleared for nine different areas. CoolSculpting® has the ability to treat many different areas of your body that you wish to remove any bulges of fat to create a thinner appearance. It can reshape your abdomen, “love handles”, “muffin top”, double chin, inner thighs, outer thigs, upper arms, back, “banana rolls”, and more.
Since CoolSculpting® is non-surgical and non-invasive, that means there is no downtime to your procedure. Once you’ve finished undergoing your treatment, you can return to your normal daily activities, even workout. However, CoolSculpting® is not a treatment for weight loss.

How long does it last?

CoolSculpting® are proven and last as long as you take care of your body, and most of our CoolSculpting® patients have an extremely high patient satisfaction rate. After your initial treatment, the cells die and you can see results as early as 3 weeks after that treatment. Then, you will see the most dramatic results in 2 months, with results showing even 4 to 6 months after the first initial treatment. Because the fat is eliminated from your body permanently, results with CoolSculpting® can be permanent as long as you actively seek a better or healthier lifestyle.

How does it work?

The temperature exposure that CoolSculpting® produces causes the death of fat tissue on a cellular level, without any damage to the overlying skin or nerves in the treated area. As the cooling is applied to the specific areas of your body that you are looking to treat, the fat cells crystallize or freeze and go through apoptosis (cell death).

As the cells die, your body disposes of the fat through its natural waste process. The dead fat cells leave your body and the fat is permanently removed. Your body adjusts to the newly removed fat cells, and you start to see a more sculpted you with less fat bulges and other rolls you may find unappealing.

How long does it take?

Treatments can be completed in as little as 35 minutes per area. However, we have two devices in order to treat multiple areas at the same time.
