Reshape Your Body Without Surgery
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but a body contouring procedure that freezes and destroys targeted fat cells that resist diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but a body contouring procedure that freezes and destroys targeted fat cells that resist diet and exercise. The process uses controlled cooling to target fat cells underneath the skin, causing them to crystallize and die. Your body then naturally processes these dead cells over time, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.
Long-Term Reduction
Treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen) and naturally processed by your body, never to return.
Pinpoint Precision
Target specific trouble spots like love handles, double chin, or arm fat without affecting surrounding tissue.
Back to Your Day
Most people return to daily activities right after a session; temporary redness, numbness or tenderness can occur. No needles, no anesthesia.

Common Questions
Is CoolSculpting painful?+
Most patients feel intense cold initially, which usually numbs the area within 5-10 minutes. During the massage immediately after treatment, you may feel some discomfort (often described as tingling or stinging), but it is brief and manageable.
How soon will I see results?+
You may start to see changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing between 1 to 3 months. Your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months.
How long does the fat reduction last?+
Treated fat cells are cleared by the body over the following weeks and are not expected to come back, so results are long-lasting. The remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain, so a stable weight and healthy lifestyle matter.
Can CoolSculpting help me lose weight?+
CoolSculpting is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. It is designed to target stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise haven't shifted. It's best for people near their ideal weight who want to sculpt specific areas.
How many sessions do I need?+
Many patients see results after just one treatment, but depending on your goals and the amount of fat in the area, a second session may be recommended to enhance the reduction.
How much does CoolSculpting cost in Richmond, BC?+
CoolSculpting Elite pricing at RAAC is based on the number of applicator cycles needed to achieve your goals — most patients require 2–4 cycles per area. Dr. Jiang's team provides a precise treatment plan with transparent cost breakdown during your consultation. Package pricing is available for multi-area or multi-session treatments. Book your assessment at our Richmond clinic for a personalized quote.
Can I combine CoolSculpting with other body contouring treatments for better results?+
Yes. Dr. Jiang (licensed physician in British Columbia) can design a layered body contouring plan when it is clinically appropriate: CoolSculpting Elite to reduce stubborn fat pockets, followed by Emsculpt NEO to build muscle tone in the treated area, alongside a physician-supervised weight management program for patients with broader goals. This approach addresses fat, muscle and overall health together rather than relying on one treatment alone. Individual results vary.
Is RAAC easily accessible from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for CoolSculpting?+
Yes. RAAC's Richmond clinic is about a 3-minute walk from Lansdowne Station on the Canada Line (building parking is via Ackroyd Road), which suits patients from Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and across Metro Vancouver. Our bilingual team (Mandarin and Cantonese) serves Richmond's Chinese Canadian community, so you can discuss your body contouring goals in your preferred language.
