"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. However, it is 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."

The price for CoolSculpting® procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. Create a customized treatment plan, in person, with your physician that's tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.

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 to meet your goals. Many people read, check email, or even take a nap during their sessions.

Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good.

As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This sensation soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptops, or even take a nap during their treatment.

The CoolSculpting® procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, and thighs. With over 1.5 million CoolSculpting® treatments performed worldwide, it has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.

"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® procedure 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."

Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting® procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically, you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients may experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness, or discomfort in the treated area, but these symptoms are temporary and will completely resolve. Often, patients can return to work after their CoolSculpting® session is over.

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and you will experience the most dramatic results after two months. However, your body will still flush out fat cells and continue to do so for up to four to six months after the treatment.

No supplements or pills are required, and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting® treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew by taking even better care of themselves.
