How Does CoolSculpting® Work?

How CoolSculpting® Works

CoolSculpting® uses a fat-freezing device that breaks down unwanted fat cells in targeted areas. The procedure itself is known as cryolipolysis. Over time, the fat cells that are ruptured and frozen will be naturally metabolized and then flushed from the body.

Because CoolSculpting® allows you to target highly specific areas, it can be used to reduce fat in stubborn areas such as around the upper arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks. CoolSculpting® works best around the abdomen, inner thigh, outer thigh, flank/side, and also under the chin.

Most patients only require one or two CoolSculpting® treatments to get their desired results. Others may need upwards of 6 sessions, but it will generally depend on how much stubborn fat you want to remove.

There are minimal side effects when it comes to the CoolSculpting® procedure. Some patients may report swelling and redness at the treatment site, but these effects are typically resolved in a week or two.
