CoolSculpting Q&A

​

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling to reduce unwanted fat. It targets and freezes fat cells, causing them to crystallize and die. The body then naturally eliminates these dead fat cells over time.

​

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting applicators are placed on the desired areas, cooling the tissue to a temperature that selectively targets and freezes fat cells. The surrounding tissues remain unaffected.

​

Is CoolSculpting painful?

Most patients describe the procedure as feeling like a strong pinch or tugging sensation. As the area becomes numb, the discomfort usually subsides.

​

What are the side effects of CoolSculpting?

Common side effects include:

  • Temporary redness or swelling

  • Bruising

  • Numbness or tingling

  • Mild discomfort or soreness

These side effects typically resolve within a few days or weeks.

​

How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?

Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. A typical session can last from 30 minutes to an hour.

How long does it take to see results from CoolSculpting?

You may start to see visible results within a few weeks of treatment. However, it can take up to three months for the full effects to be noticeable.

​

Is CoolSculpting a permanent solution?

CoolSculpting can help reduce fat in the treated areas. However, it is not a weight loss solution. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term results.

​

Can CoolSculpting be combined with other treatments?

CoolSculpting can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction or skin tightening, for more dramatic results.

​

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting are those who:

  • Are at or near their ideal weight

  • Have areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise

  • Are in good general health

 

Is CoolSculpting safe?

CoolSculpting has been FDA-cleared and is considered a safe procedure. However, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if you are a suitable candidate and to discuss any potential risks or complications.
