What is CoolSculpting?

The only FDA-cleared non-surgical fat reduction technique that uses cooling to eliminate fat, CoolSculpting is a one of a kind procedure. The technique targets stubborn fat cells, freezing them away. Once frozen the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from the body, permanently. Since the technique is non-invasive there is no downtime, just a more sculpted you.

Results aren’t immediately visible. It takes time for the body to eliminate the frozen cells. You may start to see changes as soon as three weeks after your first treatment. You’ll notice the most dramatic results after about two months with continued improvement for up to six months. With proper and diet and exercise, CoolScupting can permanently transform your body.

The Science Behind CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting was developed by Harvard University scientists that noticed some children developing dimples from eating frozen ice treats. The technique stemmed from the body’s natural ability to eliminate frozen fat cells. The CoolSculpting procedure uses a special device that can precisely target stubborn fat cells. Since your body will naturally eliminate these frozen cell on its own, no suction or cutting is needed to get rid of fat cells for good.

What Does CoolSculpting Feel Like?

You’ll feel a unique sensation during CoolSculpting Treatments. During the first few minutes you’ll feel intense cold and pressure, which quickly fades. While you’re enjoying your treatment take some time to relax; some patients even nap during the procedure.
