Stubborn fat deposits can be difficult to eliminate despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive body contouring treatment designed to target and reduce fat cells using controlled cooling technology. This FDA-cleared procedure offers a safe and effective way to achieve a more sculpted appearance without surgery or extensive downtime.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting uses a process known as cryolipolysis, which freezes and eliminates fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. During the treatment, an applicator is placed on the targeted area, delivering precise cooling to crystallize fat cells. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates these frozen fat cells, resulting in gradual fat reduction.
This treatment is commonly used on areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and under the chin. Each session lasts approximately 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Because fat cells do not regenerate, results are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

- Minimal Downtime – Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals looking to reduce localized fat deposits that are difficult to lose through traditional weight loss methods. It is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body contouring solution for those close to their ideal weight. Candidates should have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about the results.
