What is CoolSculpting?

A non-surgical body contouring procedure that selectively destroys fat cells with cooling energy

Freezes fat cells to induce natural elimination. Applied to the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other areas.

Main causes & characteristics of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is known to utilize the characteristic that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissues, applying controlled cooling energy to the targeted area. The selectively cooled fat cells are believed to gradually diminish over time, with the resulting byproducts eliminated through the body's metabolic processes. Results may vary depending on the thickness of fat in the treated area and individual body type.

Managing CoolSculpting

Applied to areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, results are generally known to appear gradually over several weeks to months, so managing expectations with patience is commonly recommended. Temporary numbness and swelling may occur after treatment. As individual suitability and goals for body contouring vary considerably, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
