How Does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical option for fat removal and body sculpting. This procedure freezes approximately 25% of the fat cells targeted. After these fat cells are frozen, they are simply eliminated from the body via natural bodily functions. CoolSculpting is a very effective method for targeting specific fat deposits, thus it is often called body contouring.

What Are the Most Common Treatment Areas for CoolSculpting?

One of the most popular areas for CoolSculpting is the abdomen. The abdominal area can be particularly prone to stubborn fat deposits that just won’t go away, even with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting can target this abdominal fat very effectively. Other areas that are popular treatment areas include the upper and lower flanks and inner and outer thighs. Most areas that have stubborn fat deposits can be potential CoolSculpting treatment areas.

How Many Treatments Are Required to See Results?

This can vary by client and  treatment goals. Occasionally clients achieve the desired results in just one treatment session. The typical client will require two treatments on each area of concern to achieve their desired result. It is highly recommended that patients wait 60 days before they schedule further sessions. Results begin to appear as soon as 3 weeks post-treatment, with the most dramatic results  seen at sixty to ninety days post-treatment. The body will continue flushing out the fat cells for as long as 4 to 6 months post-treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate For CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. It is a fat reduction process that is designed to deal with those stubborn problem areas that just won’t go away, even after weight loss and targeted exercise. Clients who are at a healthy weight, or who are within 30 pounds of their ideal weight, are usually the best candidates for CoolSculpting. Individuals who are significantly overweight may need to first lose weight and then determine what the lingering problem areas are before pursuing this type of targeted fat loss.
