What is Coolsculpting®?
CoolSculpting, a breakthrough fat reduction treatment, was developed by leading scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, affiliated with prestigious Harvard Medical School. It's based on the remarkable concept that cold temperatures can selectively target and eliminate unwanted fat cells beneath your skin. By applying controlled cooling, CoolSculpting freezes these fat cells, causing them to crystallize and, ultimately, naturally eliminate from your body.
The Science Behind CoolSculpting
PROVEN RESULTS WITHOUT SURGERY This revolutionary procedure, backed by the groundbreaking research of Harvard University scientists Dieter Manstein, MD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD, stems from an unexpected discovery. They noticed that children who enjoyed popsicles developed dimples, sparking the idea that cold can selectively affect fat cells while leaving the surrounding skin and tissues unharmed. This insight led to the development of Cryolipolysis®, the science behind CoolSculpting.

How CoolSculpting Works
Freezing Fat Cells

CoolSculpting employs Cryolipolysis, a controlled cooling process that precisely targets and eliminates these stubborn fat cells. The result? A slimmer, more sculpted you, with long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Request a one-on-one consultation with a CoolSculpting physician who will determine if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
How Long Is Each Session?
Your CoolSculpting physician will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. You and your provider may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals. Many people read, check email, or even take a nap during their sessions.
Where Does The Fat Go?
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body.
What Does It Feel Like?
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.
Is Coolsculpting safe?
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen and thigh. As the #1 body contouring procedure and with millions of CoolSculpting procedures performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
Are There Any Side Effects?
During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting treatment if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
