CoolSculpting FAQ
Liposuction isn’t your only option for treating unwanted fat. CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, is an FDA-cleared fat reduction treatment that’s cheaper and safer than surgery. This clinically proven fat-freezing procedure destroys bulges without harming your skin and other tissues.
Here is some basic information that you should know about CoolSculpting before scheduling your first procedure.
Which body parts can you treat with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting treatments can be precisely targeted to minimize:
- Back bulges
- Fat along your bra line
- Muffin tops / spare tires
- Love handles / flanks
- Stomach fat / belly fat / tummy fat
- Abdomen fat
- Inner thigh fat
- Outer thigh fat
- Upper arm fat
- Fat above the knee (distal thigh fat)
- Axillary puffs / fat in the underarm area
- Double chin / below the jawline fat / under the chin fat
- Banana rolls / underbutt fat
Does CoolSculpting hurt? What does it feel like?
As you might have guessed from the name, CoolSculpting can be a cold treatment!
During the procedure, the CoolSculpting device freezes your fatty tissue by vacuuming your fatty tissue into its applicator cup. You may feel intense cold and some mild pinching or tugging—but that’s it. There’s no surgery and no needles.
Because it’s a non-invasive method for fat removal, the risks are low (there are built-in safety measures). Most patients experience some minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising.
Is there another non-invasive way to treat unwanted fat?
Kybella is a procedure developed for those who are looking for an alternative to having surgery for eliminating the fullness of a double chin. Although Coolsculpting is a popular option, Kybella is a treatment that is also directed at the fat pocket directly under your chin.
During a consultation with one of our providers, we can help you decide which option will help you get the best results.
How long does it take to get a CoolSculpting treatment?
Though different from patient to patient, CoolSculpting sessions might take anywhere from 35 minutes to 75 minutes. Plus, there’s no downtime. Patients can return to their typical day-to-day routine immediately after a treatment session.
